Is it the transition to China that is crashing now? Have you tried with only Traveler, Overwatch and ErrorTrap installed and nothing else from any source?
Same result. I did install the Smooth Patch recently though - do you think that could be the culprit?
You could try removing the Smooth Patch but I don't think it's the culprit. I just did 30 travel transitions without any problems with the Smooth Patch installed.

Did a little more experimenting. Turns out China itself is broken - I tried traveling to Isla Paradiso and it's working perfectly.

Hmm, not sure what would have caused your instance of China to break. As long as you have ErrorTrap and Overwatch in place you can wipe out the China NHD and the game will generate a new one when you visit there next. Of course any Sims you knew there and any customization's you've done will be gone.

I do have ellacharmed's WA fixes, now that I think about it. Could that be the issue? (Don't worry, I have backups of the unfixed worlds)

No, those should be safe.

CRASHING WHILE TRYING TO TRAVEL

Post by TCL » October 2nd, 2021, 12:07 am

I just started having this problem also. After traveling to China multiple times without issue as well as one trip to France, the game now crashes on the loading screen every time I try to travel to any of the three WA cities. It will sit there loading for 1-2 minutes but the bar only gets about 2% complete before it just crashes and closes out. I have tried deleting all cache files, reloading my most recent save from my home world, and traveling to each of the three cities with all 4 or just 2 of the sims in my household but the same thing happens every time now. My last successful travel was to China to try to complete the "Why... That's the Keystone" opportunity after finding the dragon keystone. However, as soon as I arrived in China I got an error saying I cannot complete the opportunity because the target is missing. Using Master Controller to give my sim the opportunity again didn't work as it just said "go to China" even though I was already there. My goal was to try to get the opportunity in France again and then head back, but then the crashes started happening.

The first time the crashes happened I decided to stop trying to travel and just play through a week or so at home before traveling again. I have a handful of script error files with similar null reference exception errors like this for a few different NPCs:
https://pastebin.com/CVfxe0gu
These errors seem unrelated though and happened before I tried traveling again. No script errors generated around the time of my travel attempts.

After getting multiple crashes, I installed the Nraas Traveler mod and made a few more attempts, but it didn't seem to change anything. Traveling to China, France, and Egypt all crashed with the progress bar at around 2%. I've never been to Egypt, so I'm leaning toward this not having anything to do with corrupted town customizations. I have not installed or changed any other mods since before I traveled for the first time. I'm going to try removing all my mods except for the Nraas ones, but I wanted to see if anyone had a solution or had any thoughts on the script error linked above.

This may or may not be relevant info: While in China I did purchase a vacation home and customized it. Also due to time running out I did cheat my way through one of the tombs by moving some traps to family inventory. Also in a couple different tombs my sim complained about not being able to get to walls to inspect or push hidden doors open so I used Debugger to make the doors visible and then edited their rotation slightly until my sim was willing to walk over and push them open. In France after getting visa level 3 and being able to purchase a vacation home, I edited the town so I could purchase a lot that wasn't available to vacationers and then copied a house from a different lot to place there. Other than that I just have some random CAS edits of various NPCs. Also when I first arrived in France one of my two plumbots lost all its custom style and had completely different body parts.

Passion make sure you're using the most current version as there was a bug with an older version that affected some people (but not everyone) that would cause the game to crash after traveling.
BarMaidService this mod and SP's Money module can not be used together as it can cause the game to crash.

Thanks for that info. I'm up to date on the versions but I didn't know there was a conflict there. I removed BarMaidService but I'm still seeing the same result with crashing on the loading screen. I'm going to attempt removing all non-nraas mods and see if anything changes.

Sorry to cut in here, but may I ask why Traveler and Register are not in play? Traveler for its ability to cut through many travel transition related issues on any such trips and Register because the error shared concerns the failed attempts to spawn and use a Service Sim NPC -- although for the latter, yes it would be best to remove the Bar Maid mod as well at least for now.
