Ideas
crinrict using up all my slots? sorry I'm unsure what you mean, I only have 1 save maybe I should make more but then it would be pointless playing carrying on a story to only have to go back. altho I guess I could just go back into an old save to get the photos and save them into a room to then upload in to a game I'm playing after its fixed.
I think on console you can have up to 10 different saves but not more. If you have just have one save, you can use the rest rotationally as backups. The game itself also keeps up to 5 backups that you can go to.
As the bug is currently a problem, it's probably not working well if you save under a new name cause that will trigger the error and I don't think there's a way to just make a copy on console without entering the game so for now it's probably best to save them to your gallery/library as well as putting them in the inventory.
Once this is really fixed you can keep backups by just rotationally saving under a new name and use up all those slots. This way you won't loose to much if something goes wrong.
Maybe a console player has other good ideas. I have no idea how they work.

crinrict hmmm!! ok that's interesting I did not know it has 10 slots for saves that is a lot. my only worry for that would be the error 800 thing again as I in another part of the forum I was told to keep my data low, So that would bump me up a lot.
I'm unsure what you mean about that game having 5 backups I know when I log in I see my saved game and an autosave that the game does for you, so not sure where these backups would be. I think for now I will stay clear of my households that I know have many photos in, I do not want to chance going there to save them only to see them black and knowing I will never get it back.
Thank you for your help its much appreciated, I would welcome any ideas other console players are doing also.

Maybe make a post in the console forum specifically about keeping backup ?
