@singer2007 Do you use mods? This kind of sounds like the effects of a mod that lets sims live in what are otherwise vacation worlds. If you have any, please move your Mods folder to the desktop, delete localthumbcache.package, and see whether your sim can travel.
Otherwise, or if the above doesn't work, please test in a clean user folder. Move your entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop. When you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. Don't add anything to it yet; just test in a new save with a new sim. Let me know how it goes.
@singer2007 Mods are in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods, or in a subfolder inside. If you don't have any files in that folder (other than resource.cfg), you don't have mods. The localthumbcache file is in the same Sims 4 folder; please delete it regardless.
If you don't happen to have any mods, or removing them doesn't work, please test in a new user folder, as described.
@puzzlezaddict Ok will do. I’ll let you know what happens thanks for helping me through this.
Update #1: Ok so I don’t have mods, I deleted the localthumbcache file. So I’m going to see if it works now. I’ll let you know either way.
Update #2: So I deleted the file but then it deleted the pets in my pet world. So how do I recover the file?
Update #3: Nevermind I recovered the file. I’ll just try to do the other way you suggested. Because I don’t want it to mess up my other game packs like it just did.
Update #4: I recovered the file and I’m hoping the pets show up again, if not how to I uninstall and reinstall the game? Just the pets game and the Star Wars game?
Update #5: So I accidentally clicked on game options in the game menu and clicked to store default settings and so far it looks like everything is back to normal. I’ll let you know if anything changes.

@singer2007 If you want to test, you can just disable the Star Wars pack:
https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2017/03/disable-single-packs/
It may not be quite as thorough as uninstalling the pack altogether; I'm not sure how far it goes beyond preventing Origin from loading the pack data. But it's a simple step.
If you want to experiment, you can delete the GP09 (the Star Wars pack is game pack 9) folder from the game install folder. The default location is:
Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4
There's a separate EP09 folder within Detla, but that's not the one you want. Deleting the folder this way is officially unsupported, but at worst, redownloading the pack and repairing the game should fix any issues.
