I just bought the Selvadorada DLC and made a Sim with high Archaeology, Fitness, and Logic skill. I'd taken him to excavate and explore Selvadorada/the Omiscan Jungle before a couple times already, but now when I approach the gate after getting rid of the vines, something odd happens -
The usual adventure pop up comes on, where I choose to use a skill or object to travel through - but then my Sim exits the gate. When I try to make him travel through again, he stays at the entrance with an image of his bicycle in a thought bubble.
What hasn't worked:
I've tried cancelling the vacation and revisiting with the same Sim, and different Sims/Families
Restarted the game
I tried searching for dig piles and excavating them at the entrance
I was worried that my original Sim had left his bike on the other side of the gate the last time he managed to travel through, and that it must be blocking the way similar to the dig piles-- but what's weird is that the bike was still in his inventory and it was usable?
I even tried deleting the bike out of his inventory out of desperation. Still no luck :C
TLDR; the gate still won't let Sims through, they just show a thought bubble with a bike.
***I've never used mods
