Corrupted save
« on: December 20, 2011, 10:02:02 AM »
My kid launched my game the other day and clicked yes to install 1.29.  It failed at 99% installation and corrupted everything.  I tried to restore back before the patch, but it does not affect documents, so everything was still dead.  I had to reformat and reinstall windows 7 and all games.

Now 90% of my saves says something to the effect:  Cannot load this save game.  It may have been saved with Expansion Pack data no longer present..blah blah blah.   I own every EP and SP and they are all installed in release order.  All are currently updated/patched and new saves run perfectly.

Well, I did have a custom sim that was lost, so I redownloaded him.  I do have multiple saves (I save every 30 minutes and the saves are always: Savename1, Savename2 format), they all say the same thing. 

My game has NEVER generated a .backup to restore back to.  When I get an error 12 and have to delete the .bad file, I have to go to the 2nd newest save and replay what I lost, hence the reason why I save every 30 minutes.  I have tried everything and I cannot get them fixed.  Is there anything I can do?
