How many times do you save when you're playing?

I can totally relate to all, lol.  I think that it was in Sims3 that there were a finite number of saves before you couldn't use save anymore.   I have lost numerous saves through power outages, bad mods corrupting saves is a biggie.  I don't know if that was true or not.  Fast forward to the Sims 4 and I save like a mad woman, lol.  If I got up to do something, I usually automatically save, and when I return I save again because I couldn't remember if I saved or not.🤪
