@Uhtred @ciane This isn't really an issue, though. If there is meant to be a TravelDB file at all, then it's supposed to get copied to the current game folder when a saved game is launched and coped back again when a game is saved or saved as. It's never loaded into RAM like the nhd files are, but is used by the game as a reference. This is where, among other things, data on foreign world sims is kept and the Generations Scrapbook memories and other types of photos are stored. It shouldn't really matter in the beginning of a new game if the one being used is ciane's or not.
Error 16 usually means there is a corrupt file in the saved game (a bad download in this case, perhaps) or the player's hard drive is too full to function properly.
