Re: How do I cancel travel process

Hi @Luxozu

have you tried clicking the ESC key ? Does that do anything ?

Or just turn off the game without saving ?

    Yes naturally I pressed Esc, and any regular form of backing out or cancelling the action. Closing the game just dropped me back into the exact same place. As far as saving: I'm new to Sims 4 but it appears to be autosaving fairly frequently, I'm not exactly sure where. I did save earlier, but it had been overwritten by an autosave. Eventually I realized I had two saves available to me: One where I was moved into an empty lot and had all my furniture from my previous house in my inventory, but otherwise all progress was up to date - or a version where I was still in the old house, but with many skills and such missing (earlier state). I managed to move back to the original lot, and just replace all the furniture manually without losing any skills or progress. I think I took a hit in cash, but I didn't have to cheat to continue so it worked out. 

    IMO there should always be a way to cancel whatever action you've just initiated. I can't believe this isn't accounted for during travel in this game, but oh well. 

    Now I save VERSIONS of my Sims.

    Once you click the actual travel, that's like clicking OK on a process. You can still cancel while you're on the map.

    To travel, use the phone or click on the M key.
