Line 35:
When experiencing an error, try cancelling your [[Sim]]s' actions and save again.
 
The easiest way to fix this problem is to 'Save As' on a different game file each time instead of 'Save'. This also reduces the chance of losing theunsaved game data due to file corruption and creates a backup of sorts.
''[[The Sims 3]]'' creates an automatic backup of your old saved game now, everytime you save your game normally.
 
Line 41:
 
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.

==In Consolesconsoles==
In the PS2, Nintendo GameCube and PSP games, Savesave 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 Errorserrors can also occur on the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii if there is not enough space on the system.
