My saves keep getting corrupted in the sims 4
my saves keep getting corrupted and I’m not sure what to do at this point. about a week ago i encountered the worst glitch I’ve ever had in my game. my game wouldn’t save at all. i think for some players this comes up as error code 0 but i didn’t get any error code at all. when i try to save as it either creates a new save file with the same name or sometimes a file called ‘scratch’. neither of these actually save any progress. i decided to delete the corrupted save file and go back to a save from a week before (the last time i save as).
now, after a week, the glitch is back. i tried to save as and it just created a save file with the same name. it always happens around the same time my sims are having their wedding, so it could be to do with my wedding stories? but I’m not sure. what’s more concerning is after deleting the corrupted save files (only a couple hours worth of game play, not a big deal) and going back to one from the night before the glitch is STILL happening. it doesn’t happen immediately, usually about half an hour into game play. I'm really worried that somehow all of my saves have got corrupted.
can anyone please tell me why this is happening and how i can fix it?
@EmilyBAlfie It's always best to do a first test with no mods at all, no Gallery downloads, and no saves if relevant, just a clean folder with nothing at all added to it. Even if you're sure your mods are fine, adding them means adding an extra variable to account for, which makes troubleshooting more complicated. So please start there, and if your new saves are fine, try one of your old saves in the new folder with no mods or cc present. You can make a backup copy of the file so you don't overwrite it if you want.
