Game not Saving right

Is the day of the week (and the time) reverting back several sim days as well? If so, then you are probably loading up the prior save each time and not the newer one(s).

There is a limit, it's difficult to define, on the number of saved games that the TS3 startup routine can display to choose from. If you have maybe more than 20, certainly more than 50, saves then possibly the newer ones just aren't showing up there. Can you delete some of the older saves from the TS3 user game folder in Documents (where your saves and added content are) if this is the case or move some of them out of the game folder for safekeeping if you wish to hold onto them all?

Well, It seems to be going back several days. When I load the game and it goes to the thing were it shows the active household and it shows four or five previous saves under it. I always write the save as name with the family name and the date numbers and I noticed what seemed to be the recent save of that household was showing it with my Sims maiden name of Conroy instead of her new last name which I have been writing for the save as since I had those Sims get married. Another thing I notice was that the second time that I had the Sim I was getting my Sim married to moved back into her house his lifetime wish was different than the first time he had moved into her house. The first time he moved in he the lifetime wish to get to the top of law enforcement career and he rolled a wish to get that job. The second time he had the lifetime wish to get to the top of science career and rolled a wish to get that job. He had a part time job at the spa given to him by story progression and I had him quit that job and got him the law enforcement career but since it didn't save right I guess so his original part time job was back and I got him in the science career the second time. But, now it put me back to before they had their first child again. I'm sure there are quite a few saves in the Sims 3 saves folder. I have never deleted any from it before. I just looked in the folder though and there is definitely more than 20 or 50 saves in there. It says there are 163 items in the folder and all the oldest ones are from 2020. So, is it okay to delete all the ones that say 2020 on them and which are probably mostly from families no longer in the game? If I delete a bunch of these then do you think it will save it the way I left it and stop putting it back several Sim days or more? I want to keep playing this household and don't want to keep re-doing things every time I go back into the game after having saved it.
