@willowcloud9 I'm sorry to hear that. If you have any other backup saves, you could try those. You could also try loading the save in an otherwise clean user data folder. If you move your entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts, a new folder will spawn the next time you open the launcher. Install Monte Vista and copy over the save, but don't add anything else, not even store or custom content that you know you used in your remodels. This is just to see whether you can get it to load at all.
If you're not interested in jumping through hoops for an uncertain outcome though, that's understandable.
I moved my entire Sims3 folder out of Documents/Electronic Arts as suggested and when I ran the game after doing this, Sims started over fresh like I had never played before.
Had to re-download all of my purchases.
I moved my Saves back into this new folder and so my families were there, but some were unplayable because I had an expansion pack activated at the time that I've since deleted I think.
Just a heads up.
