Saving forever

My problem is that my Sims is saving forever - not saving. 
I just fixed another problem by creating a fresh Sims 3 folder in Electronic Arts, and I added my CC back onto it. However, in two saves, I have had this problem, that it gets stuck. So that it is two different saves, families. How can I fix it? Thank you

  • @0edcee2f56748c54  Does this happen with no mods or custom content present?  Please test and let me know.

    Additionally, using the buydebug cheat and leaving it enabled can prevent the game from saving, so if you're using it, make sure to turn it off when you're done.

  • I don't use buydebug cheat, I only use moveobjects on and testingcheatsenabled true, and it has always been working saving with them on.

    So I have my CC merged with CCMagic and I tried running the game after I took the package files out of the folder, but the CC was still there in the game. Not sure how to get it running without CC?

    I have also recently disabled the conflicting and corrupt files in CCMagic

    @0edcee2f56748c54  The only way to be sure you have no custom content in the user folder is to create a(nother) fresh folder and not add the cc back.  I don't know enough about CCMagic to help, but it's possible there are other files elsewhere, or you installed some cc another way, and the new folder gets around all of that.

    If you copy your saves to the new folder, you can test the new copies without worrying about the effects of the missing cc, as the originals will be intact in the old folder.
