Check the folder CurrentGame.sims3 in documents before starting the game. It should be empty. It only contains data during gameplay. If your game crashed, this folder might still contain something. Move or delete it's content.
I get this all the time and I am glad you mentioned it, I know check this folder either before or after I start a game or both if I cant rememer if I did it last time. My question is, why? Why do I have this so often? What is it from? Is there anything I can do to prevent it.
Thank you so much crinrict, you have made so many of my sim problems better!!
That folder should only have content while the game is running. It stores some info during your game play (I don't know what is stored there and why EA started doing it this way). When you close your game, this folder should get emptied out automatically so it's basically only in use while your playing.
Sometimes, it doesn't get cleared and next time you start a game, you might run into a conflict so it's good to check if the folder got properly cleaned out (especially after a game crash or any other abnormal determination of the game).

Thanks, I am glad I know about it, I do have to clean it out all the time. Not sure why I have to almost every game, but at least I know, and clean it out.
That's rather strange. Try deleting the entire folder or move to the desktop. The game should create a new one. Maybe there's something up with the folder itself.
