Game Failed to save Error Code: 0

There's an open thread on Answers HQ and QA is taking saves to try and figure out what's going on: Save Code Error: 0.

There's some workarounds in the thread too. It's really strange as there doesn't seem to be anything in common with what folks were doing when it triggered.

17 pages on that report already... a lot of people are having this problem. Looks like they are investigating it.

It seemed like it was just Macs at first, then it was also console users, and now it's spread to PC players.

I always do "Save As" anyway, because of having lost saves back during the Sims 3 days and I never "Save and Exit" for the same reason, so knock on wood I don't run into this.

Wow. That's good to hear. My Sims are getting married in about six Sim days. It's Sunday evening now and they're set to marry the coming Saturday morning. After they have a very brief honeymoon, the seven Sims I've chosen to be Dorm mates will enter Britechester-U. I have no idea of why I can't move Erik's Starlight Accolades into the ICYA chest I've used in the past (not the exact chest, mind you) to keep his awards and his special decorated eggs (Fabergé in style), plus his music, etc. He's got the funds to purchase them again, but he shouldn't have to. This time I was prepared having learned to use this chest, but for some odd reason, I can't place them into said chest. They just sit on top of it. That won't do! I'm wondering, now, just what else got broken after the 'fixes'. Face/palm. Can I cry now? It's odd, too, because shortly after I made the purchase of the chest, Erik placed one of the dishes from the banquet table into the chest when I sent him to put away. Then Aaron took another one of the remaining dishes and placed it into said chest, too. When I opened it moments ago, both dishes were there. So, why can't I place the awards? Do you think (as it occurs to me just now) that the food is preventing the placement of the awards? I think I'll test that theory!

I was getting that error too. The game would not let me save at all. Very frustrating as I was near the finish of the Aliens scenario.
I read around the internet and the simplest fix and most likely culprit was to pull the mods folder. It worked and I did not bork my scenario save. I read later that MCCC had a hot fix a couple of days later. I don't know if that was the problem (I only had two mods loaded). I haven't put the mods back in yet.

I was having a different problem with the MCCC that at first was considered compatible. I saw the hotfix the very next day and switched them out. The problem I was having, or thought I as having is gone, but now it won't save. I do a Save As with every gaming session and then just save periodically throughout that session. This is where I'm running into the Error Code:0. I'm going to see if things are back to normal, as one player suggested happened in their game. I was also fooling around with the Wedding Event to edit it. I ended up deleting the event entirely so that I could have my Sims seek those they wanted as Honored Guests and the Officiant, plus the ring bearer and the flower pal. Then I created the Wedding Event anew.

If this doesn't clear things up, then I'll do a game repair. I would delete this save entirely, but for the fact I wanted this couple to experience MWS. So far, my Sims have suffered from Cold Feet, by way of her flirting with other guys and my groom getting very angry over it. She's done this twice, now. Gr. If I hadn't played this couple in the past to absolutely knowthey're right for each other, I would put her in the bin a.s.a.p.

I was following the bug thread before buying MWS and there was someone who didn’t even own the pack, so it may have come along with the patch.

I just got this for the first time last night as I was exiting and saving. So no chance to save the save. I was doing the unlucky chef scenario and he had just gotten a raise and achieved some things for his aspiration. I'll hit me too as well.

This is why I always do a "Save As" before exiting, and then exit without saving. I had the same thing happen to me back in the TS3 era a few times, so now I just do not trust "Save and Exit" buttons in Sims games. :lol:

As for this thread, I've now had save issues similiar to this in my game 3 times since the last patch. Not error code 0 for me though, but rather some weird hexadecimal string code.

Everyone with this bug, please consider taking the time to send in your saves to help EA fix it <3
