Teleportation pad

In The Sims 3, the Teleportation Pad lets a Sim instantly teleport to any location on the map, and use a mobile phone to teleport back. Occasionally, the teleporter malfunctions and teleports the Sim to the wrong place, but recovering from that is a simple matter of teleporting back with the phone and trying again. It can be upgraded with "Perfect Teleportation", which prevents it from ever malfunctioning.
