@rockstarxspark if the win 11 version you're running on is 22H2, its likely just that... a windows issue, so either play on an older version, or wait for it to get fixed, hopefully?
@not-gurim I just checked, and I am running on 22H2, someone else mentioned that it might be a windows issue since Windows 11 is so new and the Sims 3 hasn't had an update in years. I considered installing Windows 10 to see if that would fix the problem.
- @rockstarxspark yeah, there's a blog dated around 4ish months back warning people about 22H2, there's users on steam sims 3 discussions asking to find a cause/fix for this error 16, happening in new save files... and sadly, i am also having it, which is the 2nd save error i've ever had in 10ish years of playing sims 3. win 10 is possibly the best route as it will be supported until october 2025. its also likely that this is a wider issue that affects 32bit games in general? who knows. hopefully it will get fixed...
- @not-gurim Thanks for the help, and suggestions. I tried to get help directly through EA, but they were less than helpful lol. I'll probably go the Win 10 route then and hope for the best in 2025. I am trying to hang on to the sims 3 as long as I can lol
