Shang Simla Refuses to Load
I ran into a problem while playing my game tonight, and sadly none of the help files had any answers. One of my Sims had a opportunity to deliver a painting to China, which she had to put on hold until she gave birth. She also has a lifetime wish that requires travelling (World-Class Gallery). However, when I tried to send her to Shang Simla, the loading bar almost entirely fills up, then it stops when it gets to a certain point with just a sliver of grey left, as seen in this picture:



I let the game sit and do this for about ten minutes, and nothing progressed, though the game's music still played and the Game Tip kept changing. I tried this three different times with various fixes, and the same thing happened. It first happened when I tried to send my Sim and her partner (who is from China - Zhan Su) for five days, then again when I tried to send my Sim alone for three days. I deleted the cache files to see if that would help, but nothing. I don't have any CC other than some mods - Twallan's StoryProgression, Master Controller, and Overwatch, and another mod that prevents mystery genetics from popping up (it's from somewhere on this site). I used all of these mods in the vacation destinations before with no problems, but I pulled Overwatch, the one I most recently installed, to make sure it wasn't conflicting with anything. I recently installed Late Night, and this is the first time I've tried to travel with the new EP installed.

So, after all this, my main question...how can I fix this? Is this being caused by Late Night? Is this being caused by a corrupted vacation world? Has this happened to anyone else before?

Any answers and help would be greatly appreciated.

    Remember, as the message said that displayed before you posted your thread...

    If you're having any problem, issue, error, or glitch with your game, that's a job for MTS's Help section. There's both articles with common issues as well as Q&A support forums where you can ask questions and get specific help.

    Game Help:Sims 3 Game Problemwiki

    Try that first - every step, in order, and don't skip anything! Even if it doesn't say your specific problem, try it anyway, as it's a good starting point to rule out the most common causes of game issues.

    If you still have trouble, you can post a new thread in the Help Q&A forums. There's a link to the Help Q&A forums at the top of every FAQ in the Help section. If you do post there, make sure to read and follow the directions that will display before you post there!

    Good luck, and happy simming! :)
