This user has the following games installed:

Sims 3, World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, Seasons, University Life, Island Paradise, Into the Future
Default Live error 12 fix?
I just had my first error 12 in years. Not sure what's causing it, the game's barely using 1600 megabytes of memory, but I'll obviously need to save my game regardless since it's been about an hour and I've built a whole lot.
How can I get it to save fully?

It’s always something of a mystery. Sometimes it makes no sense. If I was you I’d travel to another hood and try and save from there. Dumping the new lot to the bin will normally just crash the game.

I don't have any other worlds. And the game crashed anyway. Problem solved I guess?

You don't have World Adventures?

I have all EPs, but the subworlds aren't active in this save. I'm also assuming that loading another world without saving will forego unsaved progress in the current one.

No. You have the error in hood A, travel to hood B and save. Your progress in hood A will be saved.
Note: 80% of the time you’ll simply get another error12, but sometimes it works.

I'll try it next time but then again, TS3 usually never error 12s. Loading up another world is a bit of an issue though if you can't delete the data from that world later.

The thing is, you can.
If you successfully save in hood B (say Shang Simla) you then exit Ts3, then load game. Now travel back to hood A and save. The data for hood B can now be deleted, and when you travel there again it will be the first time you have visited. No damage done.

I'll keep it in mind for next time, if there will be one, but usually my saves are close enough together that it couldn't possibly be more effort to redo the work than it would be go into Edit Town, load up a world, wait for the whole damn world to be set up, save, wait some more, go back to the main world, wait for this world to reassert itself as the dominant world, maybe save again for shits and giggles, shut the game down, and delete some world files.
