The Neverending Loop is Over!

I would like to thank a couple of the folks over at nraas’ wiki for helping me figure out Lombardo’s University term of doom.  


So what happened, you ask?



Apparently, my game borked somewhere (hell if I know where) and my homeworld got switched from Moonlight Falls to Sims University.  As I sent Lombardo to university right as I got the expansion, it’s very possible that this was one of them glitches that was in game in its early days and I didn’t know about it because shortly after I had to pack up the Simming computer when I moved (and then losing the computer indefinitely when my daughter knocked it over).


So before I went insane and completely dropped TCC, I asked for help.  We tried numerous things, and what finally worked was this:



-Dropping out.  I didn’t want to do this, but since I made zero progress in my grades, I had nothing to lose there.


-Travel to homeworld using Real Estate & Travel Services > Travel.  For some ungodly reason, Moonlight Falls was now a vacation spot.  So I picked it.


-Picked an empty lot (since I was just gonna enroll in uni again anyways)


-Click on City Hall > Nraas > Traveler > Change Homeworld.


Something else I noticed while doing this is that there was a new (since last update of Traveler) option to set how long you want your Sims to be in Uni for.  I set it for 14 days, or 2 terms.  This was something that was NOT in the Traveler I had before getting the computer back, or at least I don’t think so.  


But I was able to play through till 1 day before finals before getting das boot from the fiance from the Simming computer.  The next thing to find out is if I can go back to Moonlight Falls without any issues.


But yay the loop is gone!



Note: If you are having this issue as well, there’s one thing you should know.  In the unlikely event that you get a newly made homeworld instead of the one you came from, this fix is completely null, and you’ll have to revert back to an old save.  And I wish you luck, because I gained so much stuff that going back to an old save would’ve made me cry.
