save file makes game crash

hello, i was going to play but my game keep crashing everytime i opened it, and eventually i found out it was because of my last save file.

i tried to repair the game but it was worthless.

i was wondering if there is any way to retrieve it? or it just cant work anymore since its corrupted🥲 i really dont want to lose all my progresses.

any help is welcome thank you!

  • kurobestneko​  Is the game crashing before the Main Menu?  If so, create a new save, then add your old save back and see whether you can load it.  (Use Load Game to select it.)  The problem may be the save's preview at the Main Menu, and creating a new save makes that save's sims load at the Main Menu rather than the sims from your main save, getting around this particular issue.

  • They aren't going to fix it. Either make peace with the last save and delete it or delete the game. I'm genuinely sorry you are going through this.
