The Sims 3 needs free disk space to run properly too. Make sure you have plenty of Free disk space. You'll need more than just enough to save the game.
Yes, definitely this.
Many seem to be skipping over what the original problem was here. The player had an Error 16 upon trying to save because they ran out of drive space. If Windows and the game are installed on the same drive, there needs to be at least 10-15% free space in order for things to even have a chance to function correctly and at no time, whether the game is running already or not, should free space ever be below around 30 GB (on most drives, depending on some other variables). When things are cut too close or the game and Windows itself does not have enough free space in which to maneuver, all kinds of unwanted and unexpected things can happen.
A hard drive running something as dynamic (ever changing) like the operating system or the game is not like a refrigerator, you can't fill it to capacity and expect things to still work right. ;)
