Sims 3 Error Code 13 saving game

A lot of people have the Error Code 13 as I've found online but I don't see any real answers. I don't know why the Sims creators aren't taking care of this....too many problems in the sims games and much wasted time on unsaved gaming.

    Please take a look here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Save-Errors-Error-12-13-15-16/td-p/652

    These are things which can help you: 

    • Use save as and a new name instead of save
    • Try saving in Edit Town mode as well as live mode
    • Try saving your game paused and unpaused and at different speed levels.
    • Move your saves folder to the desktop
    • Never use save & quit. Always save your game first and then quit the game without saving.
    • Don't use spaces or special chars in your save game names.
    • If you have lots of stuff in your inventory, reduce it.
    • If all fails, quit your game without saving and restore a backup.
