You should do the same again, it seems your game is putting some corrupted files in your saved game. You might have some bad CC. Do the same thing you did yesterday and when you open the sim launcher, select ''run without custom content''.
- There is a corrupted file in your game, that's why it won't load, check the "run without custom content" on the sims launcher, if the game loads its because of have some bad CC. If after you do this the game still won't load then post back here.
Hello! I tried the copy files, but sadly I'm confused dearly on what to do. Would you mind explaining this process again?
So, the first post that Gardin said?
- go to documents:\\electronicarts:\\sims3:\\saves and find the save file that you've been having trouble with
- Look for the exact name but the one ending in .backup
- Change it to something like .asa and then go to your current file (ending only in .sim3) and make that .backup
- Now make your .asa simply read .sim3
- Try start it again
To be honest I was a bit confused too but I found this simple way and I hope it works for you 🙂
- Go in to your electronic arts in your documents folder
- Go to the search bar and search .backup
- Then select the game you are playing on
- Delete all files in there
I cant see any ".backup" files :/
@Greenz051 You need to follow the path: Documents>Electronic Arts>The Sims 3>Saves. The game itself saves a backup from the next to last time your game was saved with the option Save; if you always use Save As you won't have them - but instead you'll have your own previous saves to go back to. If you explain your problem though, I might be able to help.
