The sims 2 cannot save the game progress

Every time I try to play, there is pop up massage and to play the game I have to press yes button the I play over 7 hours and always log off with save progress. Then I go back again my previous sims is gone so I try to contact EA chat and follow their instruction by clear cached and EA Blackground service, but nothing happen. For me the sims are my child memory, but I think if you guys not ready for selling the legacy pack you should check 100% before selling it online. It makes me disappointed.

  • It sounds like you haven’t got enough storage space maybe? Where do you have the game installed? I saw a similar error on Reddit where the text box displayed properly:

    How much space do you have on your hard drive?

    802pdtpvtu5i Although the text is corrupted, this may be the "low disk space" error like the one on Blayer98's screenshot.

    The error may also appear if OneDrive is involved; I believe OneDrive offers only 5GB of free storage. The Sims 2 and OneDrive are generally not a good combination since syncing user data with OneDrive may lead to neighborhood issues. At best, it could revert your saved files to a previous version or not let you save at all, at worst, it could corrupt the neighborhoods.

    If you have OneDrive enabled, I strongly recommend disabling it (if you don't use it for anything else) or changing its settings to stop syncing The Sims 2 files. Puzzlezaddict has a great post on how to either disable OneDrive or prevent it from touching Sims files. Please check out the Managing OneDrive section in this thread:

    Although these steps are written for The Sims 3, they will work for The Sims 2 as well; the only difference is that The Sims 2 user files are located in Documents\EA Games instead of Documents\Electronic Arts. Make sure to create a backup before making any changes, just like the post recommends.
