Don’t go on vacation in Sims 2, you may get stuck on loading screen

by

It’s been some time since we’ve had a new installment in the long-running Sims series by Electronic Arts. Since The Sims 4 was launched over a decade ago, they have decided to re-release earlier games such as The Sims and The Sims 2. While this is not inherently bad as preserving classic games is crucial, it seems these releases lack significant improvements and come with numerous technical issues. One of the most frustrating problems occurs in The Sims 2 where players get stuck on a loading screen when sending sims on vacation. If you’re ready to return from your virtual holiday, let me share a potential solution (a little humor intended).

The Sims 2 vacation loading screen loop workaround

In simpler terms, the acclaimed Sims series offers numerous expansion packs that introduce new decorative items and innovative features for your virtual abode. The Bon Voyage DLC for The Sims 2 (part of the Legacy Collection) allows players to embark their characters on endless vacations, a fantasy realized by some and a dreaded scenario for others due to the game’s frequent issue with getting stuck in an unending loading screen loop.

So far, there hasn’t been a definitive solution for this issue, but Electronic Arts (EA) is actively addressing various hurdles in production. Interestingly, one player has discovered a method that might help you reunite with your family. Here’s how to go about it:

  1. Navigate to the vacation neighborhood menu by clicking on the appropriate option in the top part of the screen.
  2. Go to the location where the family has been sent.
  3. Use a button to delete it.
  4. Next, access the family in their regular home lot.

This action will return them to their home, but it doesn’t stop the bug from recurring. However, someone has suggested an intriguing solution. This approach entails using cheat codes to amass wealth and buying vacation homes in each world, as the issue seems to arise only when you save on a community lot.

Delighted to hear that now, you’re equipped to rescue your beloved family from the dreadful ordeal of perpetual holidays! May fortune smile upon you as you strive to ensure such an occurrence never happens again. Best wishes!
