Ever since installing the update last month, I have been unable to successfully play Sims 3 because I simply can't save a game. I'm getting Error Code 16, which I understand to mean that my save file is exceeding 4GB, however, I only currently have 5 households saved and never had this problem prior to the update.
- I have checked that I have plenty of free storage on my C drive and plenty of storage space in OneDrive where all my files are back up.
- I've tried pausing my OneDrive syncing.
- I've deleted all saves in-game and deleted my Saves folder.
- I've tried saving my household under a different name.
Following a live chat session with EA support, these are all the things that were covered during our discussions. In the end, I was told that there was nothing more they could do and that I should throw myself at the mercy of the forums. I'm afraid I expected more, but it is what it is so here I am. 🤷♀️
Everything listed I also tried with no luck. I don't know why EA released this update first of all, second, it wouldn't surprise me if they just ruined it to get more sales on TS4 or with the "new" releases of TS1 and TS2. I don't know why every game this company touches breaks and it's absurd. Also! Tried to reset to a previous version on steam and they delete previous versions when they update so! :) yay!!!!!
