My game only crashes if there is bad CC. Which hasn’t happened in a while since I’m 95% vanilla now. But here’s a list of when I do save:
- after each sim comes home from work or school, if the times are all really close then I wait until the last one is home, unless the option below happens
- immediately after a milestone (promotion, grade improvement, finish a university term, engagement etc.)
- when leaving/returning to their home lot
- after everyone is in bed
- after adding/editing events or holidays
- every time I finish a section of a room when decorating (ie bed + surrounding area, dining table w/flowers or plant etc)
- and any other time I wonder how long it’s been since I saved
