Hi there
Error Code 12 is often memory-related. How much RAM do you have and what is your operating system?
Error 12 & Error 13
- Use save as and a new name instead of save
- Try saving in Edit Town mode as well as live mode
- Try saving your game paused and unpaused and at different speed levels.
- Move your saves folder to the desktop
- Never use save & quit. Always save your game first and then quit the game without saving.
- Don't use spaces or special chars in your save game names.
- If you have lots of stuff in your inventory, reduce it.
- If all fails, quit your game without saving and restore a backup.

Concerning changing your sims outfits - is that when you try customise via the dresser or in CAS or just in general? Does it happen in every save?

and i have a question about what you said to solve error 12
how i can restore a backup?
@nadabouarir my knowledge on specs is shocking, so just going to tag @CodySimstein and @rumbutter in here (if you guys could take a look, it'd be really appreciated)
With restoring a backup, just follow these steps 🙂 Let's say your save is called Sunsetvalley
thank you so much for your help
i renamed the files and i hope the guys you taged will help me too 🙂 thanks again :D
your processor is 1.50GHz is a wee bit below the recommended 2.00GHz is the minimum recommended by EA BUT i would even go as far as to say 2.4GHz and up simply because IMO the 2.00GHz is base game and doesn't allow for the added expansion/stuff packs (if any ) and store items so your processor maybe struggling a bit
