Hey everyone! I've been playing the sims 3 for awhile now and I took a break from playing for maybe a month or so. I went back to it a few days ago and now it wont let me save, I've tried numerous times but I still keep getting Error Code 12. I have every expansion/stuff packs except: Supernatural, Katy Perry Sweet Treats, and Into The Future. Does anyone know how I can stop this from happening? I've tried in different neighborhoods and saving as soon as I enter a game too, any help would be appreciated thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tlc479 (talkcontribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~~~~

An error code 12 usually means that your computer spec isn't sufficient for the game, but this isn't always the case. Even if your computer meets the minimum requirements, it doesn't guarantee that you'll never get this error. Unfortunately, from my personal experience, once you get the error you can't save your game. There's no other option than to quit your game and lose your progress. :/
But! It doesn't hurt if you read more about the save game errors here: http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2011/03/error-save-errors-error-12-13-or-16.html Nikel Talk Vote! 14:08, March 16, 2014 (UTC)
