Hopefully the Windows update did? I didn't get an recent update on my Win11.
I managed to get saving Sims 3 game files to work after purging all installed content and running the game after exiting out of OneDrive. I did not uninstall because I need it, just exited and closed it.
That was working while I slowly reinstalled game content in bits, then was installing bits of downloaded (the horror) community content in small groups of files.
It worked until the last group of SavedSims, then error 16 hit. I removed those particular sim files and error 16 stopped happening. So it looks like one of them has a glitch also causing the error.
But now it's moot until they fix the new EA app that rendered all my purchased expansion and stuff packs no longer registered as owned, leaving me with a world of base game sadness.
