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

I usually save once an hour when playing, but after hurricane milton went through here and our power went out (and keeps going out few times a day) I've started saving every five min lol.

What's your worst memory of forgetting to save and game either crashes or power goes out?

  • 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.🤪

    Thank you. As you can probably tell, I'm still very much jazzed about it. We were teens when we wed.

    I would have to put a timer on to do that. LOL I get totally caught up in my gameplay, I lose track of all time.

    Thanks for the reminder. I need to back up, since it's been since right before the last patch.

    Do a game repair. I find that helps. I also make certain to do so right after a patch.

  • I save anytime something big happens in my game. I'm lately a bit "lost" in the game, I'm currently playing with random Sims just to explore the game more so I don't mind if I just lose everything 😅

  • I should recommend something called a battery backup that you can plug your computer into. This gives you time to save and shut down properly in the event of a power outage.

    I still try to save (save as, usually) often, though.
