Re: Sims 3 Crashes & Error Code 12

@MsSaintsAngel  That's the game being its usual glitchy self.  Traveler will fix a lot of travel errors (no need to fiddle with it; the default settings work just fine), but there's still no way around the game turning a pregnancy into a child.  Some things just don't seem fixable, even with mods, unless you want to totally annihilate the kids (MC command) and pretend they never happened.  If you don't have a save from before the kid was conceived, or I guess maybe it was twins, then that may be your only option.

The game itself keeps the file from the second to last time you saved, but whether this will help depends on when that save was created.  If you go into Saves inside your game folder, you'll see a folder labeled [your save].sims3, and another labeled [your save].sims3.backup.  Delete the .backup extension and rename the save [your save1].sims3, and you'll be able to load it from the Main Menu.

In the future, it's a good idea to use "save as" to rename your saves; that way, the game will keep the old files instead of overwriting them.  I generally keep the last 4-6 and delete the older ones when I'm sure I don't need them.

And yes, 26,000 objects is a lot; it sounds like your save was overdue for a reset.  I usually get 15-18k, which also feels like a lot, but that's apparently in the low-normal range.
