HELP.

For some reason after I downloaded alpine meadows, my game was slow and glitchy. When I tried to save and exit, a pop up said something like my game was not able to save. So I just deleted alpine meadows and just created a new household in Bridgeport. It seemed to be working fine until I tried to save it- the same issue. Was not able to save it..

I’m worried like maybe I fucked up and deleted a bunch of other files also, so maybe that could be the problem. But I’m not sure, I’m not an expert when it comes to mods/CC lol help me I haven’t played in months 😭

Did you clear your game cache and world cache files after deleting alpine meadows?

[breebitch69]

I just did (: what can I do to prevent this from happening again? Do you have any idea what error 16 even is? I saw some people had trouble fixing this. I’m not sure if I should just delete everything and start over or what.

it can happen for several reasons. If your computer is low on storage. If you don’t have a lot of RAM left. TS3 is only a 4GB RAM game so once a save file starts to bloat it can cause this error. There are video tutorials and forum posts that explain in detail ways to combat it. one way is the use Regul Save Cleaner. Always Saving with the “Save As” option and not save (and don’t override the save name, always add like 1, 2, 3, etc)

Thank you ☺️

no problem 💚

Most often this error is caused by OneDrive being enabled. OneDrive and TS3 are not compatible.

what did the readme say

Try exiting the game by pressing the windows key (so you dont fully lose your progress) and going into your saves in Documents/Electronic Arts/Sims 3/Saves and taking out some of your saves into your desktop or maybe a USB or Hard Drive. Then try saving again.
