The Sims 3 Bridgeport-Roaring heights save problem
I've been playing in Bridgeport for a couple of days and decided to move to Roaring Heights (worst decision ever). I've first saved my game to be able to get back if a crash happens. After arriving to Roaring Heights the game asked me to make an other save under an other name and so I chose to write Roaring Heights. After this second save I started playing but the game shuts down immediately so I've decided to keep playing in Bridgeport and I've launched the game again but I saw in the main menu that the second save "Roaring Heights" has been saved under the name Bridgeport? It basically took the place of my Bridgeport save (world changed but saved name stayed as "Bridgeport") and when I looked at the little picture I can literally see that the Roaring Heights house is on the Bridgeport house (2 pictures one on an other) and when I chose it to see if something happened with my saved game, it started in Roaring Heights. Is there a way to undo this so that I can get back to my old Bridgeport saving?
@Asliis If you load the older save, are you back in Bridgeport? It's possible that the problem is the metadata, in this case the thumbnail, rather than the entire save. So please have a look.
If you load this save and you see anything other than your intact Bridgeport world, quit without saving. Go into Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 > Saves and find the folder lableled Bridgeport.sims3.backup, or whatever your save was called. Rename the folder (e.g. Bridgeport1) and delete the .backup extension, so the folder name ends in .sims3 , and this backup will be available to load from the Main Menu.
For future reference, there is only one non-mod-related safe way to move a sim from one neighborhood to another. That's to save the sim to the bin, without their house (you can save the house separately), quit, reload the game, start a new save in the new world, and place your sim there. Using the in-game mechanic risks imposing data from the old world on the new one, thereby corrupting the save.
