Outdoor Retreat - Vacation not an option

I am having the same problem as the OP in this post (https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/Having-problems-outdoor-retreat/m-p/4996833#M59335). The option to take a vacation is only there when I start a new game. I've taken out all of my Mods and CC. I did a chat with the EA Help Center last night (Chat ID 38835462) and they refreshed my game on their end. I have also repaired on the game on my end. All of this has not fixed the issue. One of the solutions given in the other post was to "try renaming the user folder". I have no idea what that means. What user folder? Where do I find it and what exactly will this do? Thanks.

ETA 2/11 at 3:09am PST: I just finished doing a reset on the game (creating a backup of Sims 4 folder, restarting the game, etc). Everything is exactly the same. It still only gives a Sim from a new game the option to take a vacation.

The folder in documents.

If they didn't put their saves back and started a new save, it probably did solve the issue, just like for you. I doubt it did on the corrupted save.

I also don't think that reinstalling OR would help or I would not have been able to dupe the issue but you can try at your own risk

Go to this folder: programs\origingames\thesims4 (path may vary) and delete the folder GP01. There's also a folder called delta that also contains a folder GP01. Also delete that one. Make sure the game is not running while you do that and backup all files in documents\electronicarts\thesims4 before doing so.

Then Origin will prompt you to reinstall the pack or just do it itself.

Hi @imjuliewaters

We are trying to reproduce your issue, would you be willing to answer a few questions?

- Did you make changes to the Granite Falls Lot?
- Did you use any mods to modify any sims careers?
- Do you have Get to work pack?

Thank you very much!
