    Okay, so what happens once you put the particular save back in? Does it immediately not save or does it work? 

    Your best chance if it isn't working is to either restore a backup or to save the family to the library via edit town and move them into a fresh save/

    To restore a backup - your save is called Sunsetvalley as an example: 

    • go to documents : electronicarts : sims3 : saves
    • find Sunsetvalley.sims3 and rename it (right click -- rename) to Sunsetvalley.sims3.123 
    • find Sunsetvalley.sims3.backup and rename it to Sunsetvalley.sims3
    • Launch the game

    @rumbutter if this does not help user, any ideas please? Will be away and unable to answer post til weekend
