I write down, what exactly happened.
So my sim was in China, working on her karate skill, then holiday time was over, she had to travel home.
I sent her home with phone, game was loading and instead of her home town and house, that screen appeared, where I have to choose a family/and a place to live, like a new game.
I got shocked, and by mistake I clicked on save, not save as, but fortunately with backup files I got my girl back with an earlier save, she was in China.
I sent her home again, but the starter screen appeared again.
I restarded the full game and my laptop but its still happening.

@szdorka The first thing that comes to mind is a memory issue and virtual memory. TS3 is a 32 bit application and can't access more then 4Gb of memory and in reality the game uses about 2Gb of memory do to the compilers used. If your computer is a pc please post your computer's dxdiag - link - how to post your computer's dxdiag thank you

@szdorka Is there a reason you have the system partition at 98.6Gb? That is way too small. Is there a reason the drive is partitioned the way it is? 26.8 free space on the system drive is way too small. Why do you have a red WD drive that is 5400 rpm when you should have a 7200 rpm drive for a gaming computer. There are programs that can repartition a drive and enlarge the system partition. This is not without possible issues and most of the time the procedure works but.... I would recommend getting a new drive and image the existing drive to the new drive THEN try to repartition the new drive. If things go south you can always reinstall the original drive and your back where you started with not loss of data. You need to get some advise on how to properly setup your computer because as free space gets lower eventually you may have computer crashes and even operating system corruption where you'll have to regen the computer from scratch.
