What is this?? I literally bought Late Night, Generations, and Ambitions only about 2 weeks ago. And I got Pets this weekend, and it worked fine. I just played and saved the game last night, and when I opened it today for the first time, I got this error. And I restarted the application multiple times, and I'm still getting this error.

Dear god, let this be fixable. I don't want all the time I spent on that town to go for nothing. If I have to lose the game I don't even want to play Sims anymore, and I want a refund. If this issue isn't fixable then what's the point of starting another game when the same thing could happen to it in the future? This is ridiculous. After spending so much money on expensive Sims games, people shouldn't have to put up with this BS

I didn't even download anything yesterday or today, so it can't be from some conflicting file or anything. I'm completely at a loss.

If it makes any difference, I have Windows Vista, too. And I downloaded my games from Amazon. Also, my only antivirus program, Norton Anti-Virus, isn't affecting anything, because it's subscription ended about a month ago, so that can't be it, either.

bump. please help!

I don't know what to tell you, this happened to me before, and I just deleted and restarted. It hasn't happened since. This is why it's important to back up saves.
