I only have one save right now, working on the same save for 3.5 years (same family first generation but the kids are starting to become young adults and move out and they are almost elders). Around 1000 hours in this one save. I'm almost scared to open the game haha! fingers crossed the save will be fine.

I am in the same boat...unfortunately my 3 year save is GONE. I click on play, loading screen starts, and then BAM helllloooo desktop my old friend...I did not expect us to meet this soon again....

:'( :(

ALWAYS use SAVE AS! The gurus are working on a fix but in the future I'd recommend making as many duplicates as possible so you never lose your work. I also back up my saves on an external hard drive. I have had same save file since September 2014 because I make constant duplicates under different names.
