  • Hi @sweetashny

    moving this to tech for troubleshooting. 

    1. Does this only happen on this save ?
    2. Does it matter which family you travel with/ lot you travel too ?
    3. Have you tried repairing your game and deleting your cache files ?
    4. Could you post your Computer's DxDiag?

      To gather a DxDiag on your computer, please follow the steps here: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/pc/how-to-gather-dxdiag-information/

      You can attach the txt file to your post directly.

     EDIT: NVM. Looks like that household you wanna travel to is bugged. Can you try another household if that works. Is that Sim on that lot supposed to be a ghost or living ?

    EDIT EDIT: The household doesn't seem to have a name so I think this is from a legacy bug that was fixed. Just evict the household and delete him (the one you wanna travel to). Should be fine afterwards.

  • Hi,
    this household is for sure in some way broken. I've made it up to be working by entering building mode on this location and everything started automagically working.
    Possibly traveling/building mode are working differently in manner of converting old locations between versions.

    In case any EA dev wondering why is that working that way - I'm open for further questions. 🙂

    Cheers

    Not sure if you saw my last edit

    There was a bug a while ago that created those but the bug has been fixed. Exiting bugged households have not been fixed though and should to be deleted manually to prevent further corruption.

  • Hi,
    after entering/leaving building mode this household has been fixed.
    I didn't need to remove it.
  • I'll check, but as I remember it loaded name, which was set before regression.
