Traveling with Sims from two different towns?

The original catch all. General game help, banter, things you should probably put in the correct forum, This is the place.

Traveling with Sims from two different towns?

Post by KittyTheSnowCat » October 24th, 2020, 4:11 am

I am trying to sent the whole Lazol family on a vacation together. However one part of the family lives in Snows Haven and the other in Aurora Snows. So I traveled the Sims from Snows Haven to Aurora Snows and then thought I could travele on with the rest since they are all friends, but only the Sims I originally travelled with show up in the travel menu..
Is it possible to do this somehow?

Not in any way I've ever been able to find, unless you want to move the Snows Haven sims into Aurora Snows as full-fledged residents first (most likely not). The best I've ever managed is travel the World A sims to the destination and then MC > Invite Over > Homeworld the World B sims to have them as guests in their vacation home or wherever they are staying. That gives us mini-sim visitors out of the World B sims, and not anyone we can actively control, but at least we do have the appearance of a family or group of friends reunion that way.

Although it's worth checking, do you have the Traveler option to remove the restriction on traveling sims set to include Friends in Aurora Snows?

Yes I do.
Damn.. well there had to be a downside beside loading screens in splitting my main game that way :(

So I tried the MC Invite over thing and Aurora Snows does not appear in the Homeworld menu.. It only shows the world I am in and Laras homeworld.. anything I have to have enabled? Tourists from that town are not disabled in Register and it is not Hidden with Traveler..

Wait. You have these two worlds connected in your game, you can travel back and forth between them without incident, yet when you travel to a third world the second one is not showing? Strange.

Possibly one of these custom worlds is not compatible with Traveler (uniquely ID'ed). Can you reach the sims in question to Invite Over if you do MC's Invite Over > Homeworld > "X" to dismiss the filter and, after a pause usually, get a list of all possible sims located anywhere in your current game?

When I dismiss the filter the only Sims showing up are the ones from the world I am in + my Sim that is traveling.. At this point I think my game is trolling me.. I just spent 3 days fixing memory errors..

Something unexpected is definitely happening there (not that pointing this out is a big help, I know). If it's not improperly ID'ed custom worlds, the only time I've seen this in my own game was back when Traveler was going through a major overhaul and some of the beta testing versions I was using along the way weren't being very cooperative. But that was years ago.

I'm not sensing this trip is going to be a success, but yeah I'd also be concerned about the entire connected world structure at this point.

So while I did not have Aurora Snows disabled as a Tourist town, I did have Tourists disallowed in General...
And apparently that does block Sims from getting invited over because they are not allowed.
So good news is I just invited the rest of the family and they should be on the ferry over right now.
Thank you for your help igazor :):yes:
