If you click on the area for the "Move to Denver" or "Move to Cali" row under the design alternative it should expand the logging for that measure and show what the error is. For example in my screenshot it below it was an incorrect path to an EPW file.

Note that if the design alternative has an error, but no measures have an error, then the error is likely a fatal error in EnergyPlus simulation.

OpenStudio 3.0 upgraded to Ruby 2.5.5. from Ruby 2.2.4 used for OpenStudio 2.x This introduced an error in how this measure uses Ruby's native CSV methods. We have fixed it on our public GitHub repo, but have not yet updated it on the BCL. I'll try to update this and other measures on BCL before next week. For now, feel free to download and use from GitHub.

Well it's good to know it's not me. I attempted to download the updated measure files and replace the ones i have locally but i'm getting new errors with the message and i have uploaded a photo. I tried updating both the Measure Directory and the Local directory but i get the same error.
