'''Save game errors''' are errors which prevent the player from saving their game. In theory, they can occur in all games in [[The Sims (series)|''The Sims'' series]], but occur most frequently in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and ''[[The Sims Medieval]]''. This article will only focus on errors in ''The Sims 3'' and ''The Sims Medieval''.

The easiest way to fix this propblem is to 'Save As' on a different game file each time instead of 'Save'. This also reduces the chance of losing the game due to file corruption and createsa backup of sorts. ▼
==Fixing the errors==
When experiencing an error, try cancelling your [[Sim]]s' actions and save again.

''[[The Sims 3]]'' creates an automatic backup of your old saved game now, everytime you save your game normally.

If the error persists, additional remedies may be needed, at the risk of the user. Users should be cautious when employing suggested remedies, as altering files may possibly cause irreversible damage to a saved game file or to the game itself. It is highly encouraged that the user make a backup of their data before attempting to fix the problem using any suggested solutions.
Save game errors may be caused by having a save file that is too big or there's an insufficient RAM for the game to save, thus leading to Error Code 12. See [[Game guide:Reducing the size of a saved game]] for additional assistance.
===World Adventures===
Error 12, 13, or 16 specifically were widely encountered after installing ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures|World Adventures]]''. The bug is officially known as ''"Error code 16 bug"'' by [[Electronic Arts|EA]].<ref>[[The Sims 3/Patch 8#Patch notes]]</ref> The errors were due to a change in the file structure used to store saved games.

==In consoles==
In the PS2, Nintendo GameCube and PSP games, save errors can happen. Usually this happens if the memory card is removed, if the memory card [[Space usage by Sims game|does not have enough space]] or if there is something wrong with the memory card or if there is no memory card inserted. Should the card be removed, the original Sims data would then be corrupted.
Save errors can also occur on the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii if there is not enough space on the system.
