As new game packs and expansions have been released, the number of worlds has increased, and many players are grateful for the fact that most can be traveled to easily by using the map. Regardless of size, each one includes its own aesthetic and focus. Some worlds are small, while others are much larger. If it does, quit to desktop, delete the five cache files again, reload, and see whether you can open your existing save.Over its lifecycle, The Sims 4 has grown incredibly. For reference, these files are:ĭownload a new copy of Alpine County (the populated version), install it, and see whether a new save has all sims present. These files should be deleted regularly anyway, and every time you quit the game while troubleshooting. Sims3Pack files become redundant.īe sure to delete the five cache files in your Sims 3 folder as well. You don't have to delete the items just get them out of the way.

Remove everything from the Downloads folder in the Sims 3 folder as well. Once you've done that, open the InstalledWorlds folder in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 and make sure there aren't any Alpine Country files there either. So it's a good idea to uninstall all instances of it you can find from the launcher. If you'd like to troubleshoot the Error 12 issue, please let me know what world(s) you were playing in when it happened, and how long the save(s) have been The presence of "Alpine County " suggests that you've installed the world at least twice. I don't know about Falls Cove, but Storybrook County is supposed to be better. Alpine County is such a large and complicated world that hitting the RAM limit is kind of inevitable, even in a relatively new save there's unfortunately not really any way to address it, other than perhaps dismantling large portions of the town, which kind of defeats the purpose.

It's most often a memory issue-the game is over the RAM limit, or close to it, and can't save-but it can in theory be any resource. If you don't use mods, you could download households from the Exchange (watch out for bad cc), or you could save interesting sims from other worlds and place them in your new one.Įrror 12 is an out of resources condition. If you use mods, there's a way to force "rapid immigration" of a specified number of families. The NPCs are generated by the game to fill certain essential roles, but otherwise, immigration can be slow, and besides, the sims generated will have all their sliders set to zero, so they'll look pretty similar aside from skin, hair, and eye color.
