Re: I cannot load worlds. I get an error that says a Serious Error has occurred?

!S.O.S, Save Our Sims! My wife and I have been trying to crack this nut for a full day now. Every time she loads into a world, there is a message stating "Serious Error Occurred" and then states the name of the save/world that is being loaded.  We have tried renaming the game folder to "Sims 3 Old" in hopes that it will install a fresh version, we've cleared the cache, I've updated her drivers, disabled OneDrive, pretty much anything we can find in the forums we've tried. She does have a lot of expansions, so that might be the issue, no clue. The expansions are as follows: 70's, 80's, 90's Stuff, Ambitions, Fast Lane Stuff, Generations, High End Loft Stuff, Island Paradise, Late Night, Master Suite Stuff, Outdoor Living, Pets and Seasons.

    I've also tried running as administrator and changing Controlled Folder Access in the security settings.

    Does the error occur in a specific game save? If it does, then move the save out of the Saves folder and try the backup.
