Problem with saving the sims3 to the hdd on a ps3
What would cause a PS3 to stop saving a game to the hdd (its just 1 game that does it) When I try to save it says Saving to the HDD failed

I know that you had this problem like 3 years ago but I am having this problem all of a sudden. I was wondering if you ever figured out what was going on and if there was a fix for it.
@keenerachel If you haven't found a solution for the "HDD has failed to save" problem, I was able to resolve mine and since your post is recent thought I'd share.. After trying many things (see my previous post) not only did this fix my HDD problem but it also made my Sims stop being invisible. After deleting all of my Sims3 save and game data, I reinstalled the game, started it up and went to the start screen, then pulled the power plug from the back of my PS3 (like a power outage). Waited a few seconds then plugged the power cord back in and restarted the console.. It said that it was not turned off properly and must check the system files (something to that effect) so I pressed OK.. Said it may take a couple hours but mine took less than 5 minutes. If you wish, you could do it the "proper way" and do a hard restart instead but this does pretty much the same thing (restoring your files and checking for corrupt data). So once again I started the Sims game and this time I chose NOT to use the exchange (you can still create and save items to your studio, just can't download from the exchange).. In my previous game I had downloaded a lot from there and since we can't delete those items from the download list in "my studio", I believe that's where the corrupt data came from. So now I was able to start a new game, no more issues as of yet. Kinda sucks to lose everything I built but happy to get back in my game and btw, it runs much better.. Less lag. Hope this helps you or anyone else with this problem 🙂
@VIKING5GRL Thank you so much I will definitely do this first thing in the morning.
