Hi everyone, i think the Windows 11 update KB5020044 fixed this issue (error code 16 at least). I played a bit and game saved normally, but i'm not sure yet. If someone want to test it the update is optional right now in Windows Update.

Maybe problem was caused by this
From Update page "It addresses an issue that affects the CopyFile function. It might sometimes return error 317: ERROR_MR_MID_NOT_FOUND."
because error 16 is file copy error.
@CAHbKA78 This is amazing news! I have just checked and I need to still update it! I am not sure if it's optional because for me it says download and install. Other than that, there is a little x next to it so it might be optional.
@Simsfan101 usually you need to check for updates (or Windows do it for you from time to time) and then they automatically start to be downloaded and installed, but with this update you need to press download and install button or it won't install at all.
Everytime I install the Sims 3, I always go into windows security (not the firewall) and add it to the exceptions list. I do not know if this will help with the error, but it stops windows from interfering with the game in any way, shape or form.
I've been getting this error continuously in a new game, while editing the world and building lots. Deleting the save file with.bad at the end, while the game was running is sort of helpful
