Small businesses causing save error 13

I’m having the same issue. I made a small business, it ran normally until the owner died. I had a new sims buy and re-register the business (they live on a different lot), but when then I tried to save and got error 13. I tried making my sim go home and tried saving again and again got error 13.

So I went to manage worlds, I loaded into a different household, and then saved. This time the save worked, and I assumed it had saved all progress up to that point, since I only went to manage worlds, but I didn’t back out to the main menu (and iv done this work around before with success). 

However, after successfully saving, I had this current household visit the small business in question and it had erased all progress. The business was once again owner-less and needed to be registered again. Wtf. 

We shouldn’t have to do backflips to get the game to function properly, especially when the small businesses are causing the game not to save. Fix. The. Game. We paid good money for these packs and we can’t even save progress. 

I recently started playing with small businesses and before the recent update for Adventure Awaits I never had this error. But now I'm in a new save file and I can't even save it once I've registered my business. 😠

The date is 10.15.25 and I am having the same issue. I have spent hours building a small business "bed and breakfast". I have saved the game multiple times and I had no issues saving until I went to open the business and then I'm getting and error code 13. I built the lot from scratch and I don't have any mods installed on my computer for sims. Its super frustrating not being able tom play the game the way its intended to be played. I wish EA would do better about the quality of their packs and content rather than the quantity...ugh. Any ways I cam fix this on my end?? Or will I have to wait months for a fix?
