Cannot even load a neighborhood/existing family

Hi All,

My Sims 3 was working fine and then one day I tried to play a family I made and I got an error similar to below. This happens when I click on any ready-made families or on a neighborhood I haven't played yet! How do I fix this?

  • Hello!

    I've experienced the exact same issue. It started as a save error and then as I was trying to solve that it's evolved into the above with none of the worlds working. 

    Another thread suggested moving the entire Sims 3 folder out of the Electronic Arts folder and onto your desktop. I also turned One Drive off. This corrected the issue for me. 

    Although I've lost all previous saves but that was me messing around so much. Like years worth 😭

    Hope this helps 🙏

    AdeleEileen  You can try moving your saves to the new Sims 3 folder to see whether they load.  If they don't, let me know; we can try to troubleshoot further.
