Okay, so what happens once you put the particular save back in? Does it immediately not save or does it work?
Your best chance if it isn't working is to either restore a backup or to save the family to the library via edit town and move them into a fresh save/
To restore a backup - your save is called Sunsetvalley as an example:
- go to documents : electronicarts : sims3 : saves
- find Sunsetvalley.sims3 and rename it (right click -- rename) to Sunsetvalley.sims3.123
- find Sunsetvalley.sims3.backup and rename it to Sunsetvalley.sims3
- Launch the game
