This occurs if The Sims 3 and The Sims Medieval is unable to load the saved game or a town. This usually occurs if the file is corrupted. In fullscreen, there is a black background with the message. and a grayThis background (Ifis runninggray onin Windowedwindowed mode). When this occurs, the message is displayed upon loading the game

Loading a game with a curruptedcorrupted world file will also cause this message to appear. For example, loading a game that was saved in [[Sunset Valley]] when the Sunset Valley world file is corrupted.

In The Sims 3, if the saved game has about too many characters in its name, a load game error will occur. If the game has does havea long charactersname but itmanages loadsto load, it can be played but an [[Save game error|error code]] may occur if you try to save. This cannot be done in The Sims Medieval as the game will freeze at the Main Menu

Sometimes a game will be disabled and there will be an error but a message will not appear when the player tries to load it and the button will be grayed out. This is usually caused if the town does not exist in The Sims 3 as the game was saved in that EP such as [[Twinbrook]] and [[Bridgeport]]. For example, Twinbrook does not exist in [[The Sims 3: High-End Loft Stuff|High-End Loft/Design &amp; High-Tech]], so trying to load a game that was saved in Twinbrooksaid world will cause it to be disabled while playing that Stuff Pack as well as later games<ref>If The Sims 3 Deluxe is installed, games saved in Twinbrook can saved.</ref> without Ambitions installed. This is also a similar case if the player tries to load a game saved in Bridgeport without ''Late Night'' or China, France or Egypt without ''World Adventures''.

Sometimes if a game is corrupted, this will also occur. The save is abnormal as the date reads 12:45AM instead of the date and the time as 12:00 AM regardless of the time the game was saved at. The Householdhousehold name would be Ramirez (The name "Ramirez" is unknown) instead of the original family name (IEi.e. Ifif the [[Goth family]] was the player's household, it would display Ramirez instead of [[Goth family|Goth]]) and the household description as "Lot description" instead of the family description. It would display that it cannot load the game and content does not exist even if that game was saved in the same version such as ''[[The Sims 3: Generations|The Sims 3 Generations]]''.
