Re: Error Code 16, corrupted saves

Recently every time I try to save my game it comes up with “error code 16”.
I have tried absolutely everything recommended online: deleted all .bad files, unlinked one drive, deleted old generations, I’ve started new households and even uninstalled and reinstalled the entire game but it’s still happening.
Please help!! It’s making me not want to play the game as as soon as I get started I can’t even save it!

    livdarling00​  Is your Sims 3 user folder still in the OneDrive folder?  Simply unlinking OneDrive doesn't necessarily move the location of the Documents directory, which is where Sims 3 will try to put the user folder.  To check, right-click the folder and select Properties > General, then look at the Location.

    Let me know either way, and we can go from there.
