Sims 3 Errors, Glitches, Bugs, & Problems Without Working Solutions

.bad are no good it meant either the save didn't save right or corrupted

your saves-saved game should look like this

my saved game is blue highlight the back up red highlight

also this bit is  important open the recentgames folder if any files are in there delete them

while playing files do build up in there that's normal  BUT once we're done with the game saved/exit/quit those files in that folder empties out and should not been seen

one thing you could try if you wish to is see if you can rename the .bad one by carefully editing out .bad and rename the save completely to something like test.sims3  launch and play if all is well at that point then re-save with a new name  and i think if it where me i'd save a copy of my sims and lot to the library  use the export button to share them but not actually upload them go to the exports folder and save a copy of  that somewhere else so i would at the least have my sime to install again if something else went wrong

once you rename one of your .bad folders  delete the .bads they are no good
