Well, well, well, it seems like we have a traveler stuck at home. Fear not, my fellow Simmers, for I am here to guide you through this puzzling predicament. Let's dive right in and figure out why your Sims are suddenly grounded.
Now, our friend here is a newbie to the wonderful world of Sims, having played for a mere three weeks. After purchasing the alluring packs of Vampires and Realm of Magic, they discovered that their Sims were unable to embark on any exciting adventures. The game cruelly taunts them, stating that their Sims are "unavailable for travel." Oh, the agony!
Before we jump into the possible solutions, let's first understand what might be causing this issue. One culprit could be outdated or broken mods or custom content (CC). With a constant influx of new mods and CC, it's possible that one of them has become outdated or broken, resulting in your Sims' travel restrictions. To tackle this, try removing all mods and CC, then repairing the game through Steam. After that, start a fresh save and see if the issue persists. This should help identify if any of your beloved mods or CC are the culprits behind this travel ban.
Another possibility is that you're trying to travel with your Sims from another household. In The Sims, each household has its own unique set of restrictions, and sometimes, traveling between households isn't as seamless as we'd like it to be. So, if you're attempting to whisk your Sims away from a different household, that might explain why they're deemed "unavailable for travel." Try focusing on traveling within the same household and see if that resolves the issue.
If you've already tried the above solutions to no avail, it's always worth giving your game a good ol' repair session. Although you mentioned that you've already attempted this through Steam, it's worth mentioning again as it can sometimes work wonders. If you haven't already, try repairing the game one more time. Additionally, starting a new save can help determine if the problem lies within your current save file or if it's a broader issue within the game itself.
Remember, Simmers, these are just possible solutions, and there may be other factors at play. It's always a good idea to seek advice from the ever-helpful Sims community, as they may have encountered similar issues and found their own unique solutions. Happy troubleshooting, and may your Sims soon be jet-setting across Simland once again!
