Thanks. I'll try one of those save cleaners.
I don't have awesome mod. Is there a list of mods that are known to break saves? I can look and see if I have any (which i very well might).
I do have a mod that significantly limits the memories. I could definitely do a town reset more often. I'll look through that link and see what else I can do.
Thanks for the advice!
@Luciaaafs I don't know of a master list of broken mods, but one popular example is SimsMX's Hospital Overhaul. (It was a great mod until an update broke it, and it was never fixed.) Another is a very adult-oriented mod that we generally refer to, on official sites anyway, with the initials K and W. Then there are mods that can cause lots of errors but don't generally break saves, for example More Sims in Clubs v.1 and one of the zodiac mods; I'd have to look up which one. Some mods also conflict with others—neither causes problems on its own, but the two can't work together. These generally don't break saves even in combination either.
If you'd like a more detailed evaluation, it's best to post at Mod the Sims or on the NRaas site with your full mod list and ask for an opinion on which, if any, need to be removed. It's sort of outside the scope of this site, but more importantly, the few people that post here are not familiar with all of the more obscure mods, so a problem could easily be missed.
