But I've tried downloading it three times now, and the issue happened every time. Which means I've redownloaded it twice, and neither time worked. I downloaded it for the third time just now, and this time I tried doing "save as". When I did that, Error 16 didn't happen, but when I did the normal save afterwards Error 16 happened. And it created a duplicate folder with the .bad extension like it did with the previous 2 downloads. Also, if TravelDB includes data on foreign sims I would want to have that.
For what it's worth, using "save as" with a number just after the save name instead of using "save" reduces, if not almost completely eliminates the odds of error 16.
In ultra basic terms ( @igazor can correct or explain better than me) when you "save" the pc and game mechanics are trying to overwrite the first file; when you "save as" the pc and game mechanics ignore the original file and create a brand new save with the games data.
Personally, I stopped using save a long time ago and only use save as. I usually keep the 3 most recent 'saves' and delete the older ones. This in combination with save cleaner has helped keep corruption down in the game and save files. B)
