Sims 4 save not loading

Hi, my Fiance is having some problems with her Sims 4, (it's not on origin, it's a separate download), she was playing it yesterday, and after switching the laptop off, she tried to play again later ...

    @Leefoleyyy  Try loading a different household within the same save.  (Just click on a different house and thene click the Play button in the lower right corner.)  When you load that household, immediately use "save as" and rename the save, so your original remains as a backup.  Let it run for a few sim-hours, then save, quit, reload the game, and try to load the original household.

    If that doesn't work, try loading a backup version of the save, as in, the original, not the one created with "save as."  Use the manual method listed here:

I'm not sure where it's from, I just know it's not origin, Its her sister's laptop and the game was already on.

@Leefoleyyy  If the game were downloaded from Origin or Steam, it would require Origin or Steam to be open to run it.

Again, sorry, but there's no help here for games from non-legitimate sources.

    Apparently it is steam, I didn't even know what that was I've just had to ask her😅 Im not a big gamer or tech guru and have literally no idea about any of this 😅 I've had to Google literally everything I've done so far
