@MrJamesNguyen I just checked my file size and it is 277 MB, so definitely on the high peak. I haven't had the corruption happening yet, but have also never placed a residential rental, and remove those from Tomarang the moment I bought the EP, out of worry.
Maybe it depends on the computer power how much it can tolerate, or maybe it depends on more than just the size itself. I did a few tests and saw that the amount of Sims in the save have a strong impact on file size. Maybe that's why mine is bigger as I play rotationally since 4 years and have 137 Sims in the My households tab, and probably around 1000 Sims in the "other households".
But I'm defnitely super cautious, checking for any exclamation marks regularly and staying away from residential rentals out of fear triggering the issue ☹️
I'm also always saving in live mode, doing regular repairs, and keeping my mods updated (I use quite a lot of them, which could also be a reason for the high file size, although i don't use any build/buy CC).

@karoschmitz I think you're very much in a safe place. As far as my testing has come it has never been anything to do with the amount of Sims/Households. This has been tested when pushing a save with 2800 sims so far. Also I believe it was a good choice to remove the Tomarang Residential rentals. My main theory and what my previous experiences with the corruption have shown are to do with the lot numbers. This was the same when I was originally using the experimental mod copy/worlds that allowed for additional lots over the vanilla and then later on as for rent came out and then lovestruck, where simply installing that EP would break my saves. I'm also using what one would call a top of the line PC with all the best consumer parts one can purchase at the moment. Even then my save isn't safe
