@Amtf032191 Please move or rename the Sims 3 folder in Documents > Electronic Arts, then open the launcher to create a(nother) new folder. Go into your original Sims 3 folder, right-click on the Saves folder inside and select Copy, then right-click inside Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 and Paste.
Open the Saves folder, and you should see a folder labeled with your save name and another with the same name plus a .backup extension. So if your save is SunsetValley, you'll see SunsetValley.sims3 and SunsetValley.sims3.backup. Change the backup's name and delete the .backup extension (e.g. SunsetValley1.sims3), and you should be able to load it from the Main Menu.
If the travel transition breaks again, quit without saving, and let me know.
Thank you so much! So that worked and I have my game now but the people are still missing from the game screen. I was able to click on my game but then the error message popped up again and closed it. It says “Exception Raised. Unhandled exception 0x80000003 at address 0x0058dc16. Do you wish to debug it?”. Photo of the message is attached.
