Drastic to you may be me, after losing my 7 year old save and not being able to recover 7 years worth of families and home/building renovations, losing interest in the game.

Why I always make backups .. learned that the hard way at TS2 when my hood went for corruption. I use save as every now and then, and sometimes save my families in my library and tray files to my external drive.

Yep, I have good backups to about January. The game died in May right after I had a huge chunk of my town age up. I had been experiencing problems since the March patch and none of the backups after that work. They will start, I can get into the world, but when I attempt to load a lot, it gives me an error and goes back to the neighborhood selection screen. After the July patch, I couldn't get into that save at all...until yesterday...maybe the new patch did something, but either way, I tried saving my lots and they won't place from the gallery. The game crashes the minute I try to place them. So whatever happened to that save was detrimental...and it had no CC either...I started using CC after that happened because now I don't even care if the game breaks...since it's in a perpetual state of broken anyway. (that's just me feeling sorry for myself and venting)

And something similar happened to my save in TS3 (36 generations in and it got too bloated), which is why I came back to TS4. This has not been a good sims year for me.
