No worries! Sadly, I did what you said but it didn't work. I have every dlc except Into The Future, Katy Perry and Movie stuff pack. I don't have any store worlds but I do have some store content and cc. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xbCKaJWIqc3yLnpyBLLHXrkKpjrh6ZMD?usp=sharing this is a link to my save
@Cwiczuk I'm sorry for the late reply. I tried everything I could think of with your save, including traveling to your instance of Sunset Valley from a different save, and I couldn't get the world to load. I couldn't even get your original sim (the one currently in Egypt) to come up as an option for MC's Add Sim command, which is unusual and suggests that the homeworld might be so corrupted MC can't read the data properly. I did some research on this issue, having seen other people try to troubleshoot it, and none of the suggestions I found had any effect either.
I think that the only conclusion, unfortunately, is that your save is corrupted beyond repair. If you want to save this single sim, you can probably do so while in Egypt: go to Edit Town, save the sim to the library, quit the game, start a new save, and place that sim. But that doesn't help any of the other sims left behind.
Going forward, I'd strongly recommend keeping backup copies of your saves in case this ever happens again. If you use "save as" and rename the save, the previous save remains intact under its original name. I do this at least once a sim-day, and I delete older copies when I know I won't need them anymore.
I'd also suggest keeping the mods in play. I personally would never play without ErrorTrap, Overwatch, and MasterController, plus Traveler if my sims are ever going to travel and probably Register as well. Sims 3 lacks the ability to remove trash data and mild corruption on its own, so without the mods to clean up, the problems build up until the save no longer runs properly or even fails to load.
