The agony of losing significant progress...I know it so well. And from other games as well. Now, I'm a compulsive "saver" - better to be safe than sorry :#
I generally save once per sim day, while everybody is sleeping at night as well as just before and after travelling (World Adventures).
I really needed the money when those Tiberium showed up. I started with a large empty lot and cheated to get rid of all my cash. Get a job early and they are really unhappy going to work the first day starving, stinky, tired. It's interesting starting one sim (or a pair) that way, but the family is growing now and the kids needed bedrooms. After those pink diamonds, cash wasn't a priority.
