@Blackredminty  Does the same freeze happen in a new save?  Please try one for comparison.

 

Please also let me know whether you've set NRaas StoryProgression to run in the vacation worlds in your existing save.  You can check by clicking on the base camp map tag and selecting NRaas > StoryProgression > General Options; let me know whether Enable Progression is set to True or False.

@Blackredminty  When StoryProgression first runs in a new world, or it runs in a world that hasn't been simulated in a while and where there may be many new residents to manage, it initially has a lot of work to do, perhaps enough to cause a freeze.  The only way to test would be to disable SP in that world, at least initially, and see whether your game still freezes.

@Blackredminty  Does this happen if you play without any other applications running?  Please try restarting your computer and opening only Origin and Sims 3, nothing else.

 

If you get the same freeze, please start a new save and see whether a new sim can travel without the game freezing.

@Blackredminty  Is that in a new save, or in your existing one?  Please test a new save if you haven't already, just for comparison's sake.
