Sims 1 Saved Games
Saved game not loading! RESOLVED!!!Last night while saving my game before I went to bed, the screen blacked out in the middle of the save for whatever reason, then came back up and finished the save. I was too tired to keep working, so I decided to then Save and Quit and continue later.

It saved and quit just fine.So a few minutes ago I loaded up the save, and in the loading screen the green bar's all the way at the end, and yet the game's not loading. Install microsoft office 2013 on linux mint. It's not saying it's Not Responding, and it's not saying the save file is corrupted or bad, and the Game Tips are still coming on one after the other.
So I don't know what's wrong with my save all of a sudden.I heard there's a way to use the file-how do I rename/use it?And is there anything else I could do?I'm panicking a bit since I'm working on a BIG lot right now and I never Exported my progress like I'd usually do.If my saved game is busted I'm gonna flip my lid, no lie. Crap-I thought I had responded to this already.Alright-I renamed the but the problem's still happening-it loads everything up just fine, but suddenly stops at the very end of the green bar.
Nothing says Bad or corrupted or anything-just a pause and endless Game Tips with no extra loading. The RAM in Task Manager is normal, so the game isn't crashed or anything-I've no idea what's going on.This is my worst year ever-I tried to plug in my external hard drive cuz I backed up my stuff a few weeks ago, but now I'm getting the Click of Death from the External Hard Drive, so that's 300+ GB of data I had saved for 3 years, just gone.And now my all-important lot is now inaccessible cuz something's fudged up with the save.On top of every other issue I'm having in RL lately.Incredible.I'm cursed. UPDATE Okay, I found some info about Meta Data here: and here so I'm gonna try that, since changing the folder didn't do anything.The only problem I have is that in the save I was playing, all I was doing was building-none of my sims Travelled to a vacation world. So I don't know if sending a sim on a vacation then swapping the meta data out would even matter. I'll try the vacation step, and if it doesn't work I'll skip it.Wish me luck! I need some good news right now.UPDATE Okay, I replaced the meta data and am loading the game, and it's STILL no going over that final green bar into the actual game-it's just sitting there for minutes on end AT the very end of the bar, still loading the Game Tips, and not giving me my save! I'm gonna look into Errortrap since that sounds nifty, but GREAT news in the meantime!I DID IT!!!!Okay, I kept reading and reading about Stuck loading screens, and people kept mentioning that by reinstalling the game everything went back to normal.

I knew my whole game couldn't possibly be busted since I was able to start a New Game in the same world, so I could swap the meta data, so I knew it was something much smaller, since the game itself was running fine except for that one save, which clearly wasn't corrupted or even bad since the game and save folder wasn't saying so anywhere. So I figured I wouldn't uninstall the whole game, but smaller bits.First I took out my cache files. No diceThen I removed the whole Mods folder.

No dice.Then I went into the Launcher (urgh ) and clicked the Run Without Custom Content.BAM!My save loaded!This is why I HATE sims3packs. There's no way to scan them the way we scan package files with the Dashboard to find corrupt/botched sims3packs we install. And that makes me mad, cuz I KNOW the Launcher will install a bad file and you'd never know until you ran across it in-game-I've had several bad Pattern sims3packs crash my game when I went over the wall with the Hand/Sledgehammer tool.So anyway, clearly, it was a very recent sims3pack I had installed and used on the lot I'm building that jacked up the save file somehow and prevented me from loading it. I saved the game again under a new name just in case I can't backtrack my steps and pinpoint which sims3pack needs to be removed, which I'm VERY happy about, since it was the building itself I needed preserved, not really the decor & furnishings inside, which I hadn't even finished doing yet. So I am super super super relieved that I figured out what was wrong.PHEW!Da^n sims3packs! Yes, it replaced everything I had with defaults so the lot's pretty empty right now, but I saved the game under a new name, so I'm holding it to the side in case I still can;t access the original problem save file.I uninstalled a few sims3packs and put my Mods folder back but cleared the caches. I am now booting up the game.
If I still can't get the original save to open, I'll try to uninstall more sims3packs, and if I can't find the exact problem installation, I'll just start again on the Defaulted lot in the new save file I made and call the case closed. ^-^Drum roll, please!(Will update a final time, shortly)-FINAL UPDATE:Alright-I could't load the original save despite uninstalling a few recent sims3packs I had installed prior to this issue.
But when I played the game with NO sims3packs via the Launcher, the save loaded. So clearly I'm not finding the right sims3pack causing the problem. I'll keep trying, but whatever-at least I got the no-sims3pack version of my lot, so I'm satisfied. I'll just have to redecorate from scratch-that's fine with me, since I've still got my presets.So, that's my input.Beware of the Sims3packs!Thank you, Ellacharm3d! This can be locked now.
