I have gotten error 16 on my sims 3, but it dont work saving in a different name. Even though i can see the saves on my sims 3 file on my computer. But when i try to save it says bad after the save file. What do i do... I have tried and tried and tried.. I'm so done
@OreoKjeks Try loading and renaming the save in a clean folder. This is just for testing, so don't worry about any missing objects warning. Move your entire Sims 3 folder out of Doocuments\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, then launch the game, which will create a new folder, and quit from the Main Menu. Go into Saves inside the save folder you moved, copy (don't just drag and drop) the folder with your save name on it, and paste it inside Saves in your new Sims 3 folder. Load the save and try to use "save as" to rename the save.
If that doesn't work, please open the folder for that save file, take a screenshot of its contents, and attach it to a post.
