Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? Most recent V1.21 I think
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All but Fitness, spooky, and luxury party
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm not sure. I accepted a text/phone call invite for a talent show, and my character usually just goes to that location, however this time, it sent me to the travel screen, so I spent sometime, finding the lot they mentioned, and tried to travel there with my sim, but it just keeps me in an endless loop of going back to the travel screen, and then i cant actually travel.
What happens when the bug occurs? I'm not sure.

What do you expect to see? Character should have traveled to lot automatically when I accepted and clicked travel with my sim only. At the very least, when I launch the game a second time, it should not still show that character at that lot, without me being able to select them. My sim is stuck in the magic realm now, becuase I went back to a save point, reloaded, and CLICKED on the portal and accepted travel with just my sim, and now shes stuck there, but it keeps me in the same endless travel loop as when she accepted the text request to travel.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
I don't have one, but can provide if needed I think. I'm just stuck there and can screen record what its showing now, but not the steps of which this began to occur.
@missgorejess13 @Sid1701d9 I have noticed in my game that I get phone call messages that don't match what happens next. A lot of the time, the caller appears to be someone who called me earlier but it turns out in the end to be somebody else calling for a completely different reason. So I have ended up on lots thinking I'm going for a dinner date and the lot turns out to be a park or something. I am guessing but something similar probably happened to you and what happened is that you got a call for a duel at the dueling grounds in the Realm but the call message you saw was inviting you to a talent show. I see it a lot with those calls you get from school thinking it came from someone inviting me somewhere and I'm going to travel and then the school message pops up for you to make a decision on discipline and then I don't travel. Sometimes it's two different calls that come in close together and you never see one of the messages.
My other thought is it may be one of those things tied to your computer since the game does seem to react faster on faster machines. I do see a noticeable difference in how fast some things happen on my current computer as compared to my old one.
I don't know if it's a bug or not but it certainly not quite right.
@missgorejess13 Do you remember what lot it was ? Did you actually get invited to a lot in the magic realm or did you get the invitation while there ?
There's been similar reports like yours and I wonder if it has to do with the current issues with incomplete installations.
I would exit the game without saving (cause that's probably you're only option at this point), then repair the game through Origin and check if it happens again.
