Hi, thanks for getting back to me.
not really a moot point because it is still happening, even with an empty world!
the save is only 68.3 MB, so again super confused why I’m getting this error code.
I am currently using Willapa Valley by 99simsonthewall. It’s a large world, but unpopulated and 62.21 MB.
in my previous save, I had the world populated by nrass. I am also using nraas to populate the new save, however made sure sims would not generate from the current household.
I’ll try using Kure Save Cleaner and update you if I continue to get issues.
@SummerSloane Error 16 should definitely not happen in a new save. Are you using OneDrive or any other service that syncs the contents of Documents? Are you trying to add special characters to the save name, or are there any special characters (anything not Roman alphabet A to Z or Arabic numerals 0 to 9) in the username attached to this Windows account?
Please also run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

Oh! I realized i do have OneDrive on that is syncing the files. I also save my files as (world)_(day), so for example: willapa valley_sun. also added are my dxdiag files.
@SummerSloane First, please update your computer's graphics driver. You can find the newest version offered by Dell for your laptop here:
https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/product-support/product/inspiron-15-5570-laptop/drivers
It's listed as "Intel UHD Graphics Driver" and dated August 31, 2021, which makes it a bit old but newer than your current one, and critically, newer than Windows 11. Restart your computer after installing and before doing anything else.
Please also tell OneDrive not to sync the contents of Documents:
You may first need to pause syncing or cancel the current sync:
Once you've done this, restart your computer again and try to play. Just to be thorough, name your first save "test" or something similarly simple, and if that works, you can try a name in the format you typically use.
hello, I'm having the error code 16 with saving also I have tried everything ..
