Re: Sims 3 64-bit keeps crashing when saving game

Hi, my iCloud storage has 123.29 GB out of 200 GB available

@Vaaannnee  Does this affect all saves, or only this one?  Do you use the buydebug cheat?  If so, be sure to disable it before trying to save.

If this issue affects all saves and isn't related to cheats, please try playing in a clean user folder.  Move the entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you open the launcher, a clean folder will spawn with no content.  Don't add anything to it yet; just start a new save and see whether you can save your progress.

I moved the folder to my desktop, but when I opened the launcher to start the game, its showing it as a new game and my previous households are gone.

@Vaaannnee  Right, your save data is stored in the folder you moved, and the game can't read it anymore.  The point was to test in a new save with none of the other content from your previous data in case something within the old folder was a problem.

If you can save your progress in the new save, you can copy over one of your old saves and test that too.  But please don't move over any other data until you've tested the old save by itself.  Since you're copying and pasting rather than dragging and dropping, you won't need to worry about missing mods or custom content—the original save will be intact in the old Sims 3 folder while you experiment on a copy.

If you get a crash when trying to save progress in the new save, please try disabling iCloud's syncing of the Documents folder.
