My Saved Game Froze, And I Think It Reset Itself :(
« on: June 29, 2013, 07:11:14 PM »
I was playing The Sims 3 Pets for PS3 today and on occasion my game freezes and sometimes I can press the PS button and quit and start it again from my last save and sometimes I press the PS button and nothing happens.  In that case I have to take my game out of the PS3 and turn my system off and restart it.  In this case I pressed the PS button and nothing happened so I had to restart it.

I eventually get to playing the game again my autonomy level was at high autonomy or something where basically the sims do what they want.  Also, my lifespan moved to epic life or something like that which is one step away from immortal.  I didn't move them to that.  I had them set as puppet for autonomy and normal life span.  Also, the tutorial and hint thing was checked to come on which was my first indication that something was wrong.  I only had that checked in the beginning when I was first playing, because I didn't know what to do.

Next, some trophies I had earned, karma powers I had unlocked and my karma meter thing were messed up.  The challenge "Miracle Worker" I had completed.  Then, I see it is down to five points or whatever they are.  I don't know if it's supposed to start over.  I had unlocked most of the karma rewards and now only about two or three are locked.  Also, my karma meter (the blue meter that goes up and down when you use karma powers and when you fulfill wishes) is at 200 and there is a lock button that goes from 200 to 250.  It has always been unlocked.  I thought maybe it was overloaded with unused karma power and thought that maybe if I used some it would go back to normal but it didn't.  Some of the karma powers I can't use now because they're locked and they cost more than 200 karma powers.

Can someone tell me what happened?  This has never happened to me before.  I've had the game freeze on me before and have had to restart my system.  I don't know if my system just went haywire or what.

Please help.

Thanks for reading.

I didn't see this earlier, this really sucks! If I find a solution I'll let you know, I've been looking though. It seems like there's a few really bad glitches on the PS3 version that are likely one-offs. It has quite a few in general..although I do love it (getting off track LOL). Was it saving when it froze? I know that's a big thing for corrupting any game save files.
Anyway, I'll definitely keep looking. Not sure if you've fixed it or decided to carry on but I'm curious to see if there's a solution...
On a side note, isn't the freezing slightly irritating? A few times I've made a fair bit of progress, like sims got promoted or got skill points or aged up and stupid me forgot to save...mostly my fault though haha.

Thanks for responding. :)  I've been at the point where I have to deal with it.  I read online this happened to someone else but it was for The Sims 3 not Pets.  Someone suggested that you make multiple saves instead of overwriting saves.  So, if this happens you can go to a save before it happened.  I'm OK with it now.  Not a lot I can do.

No problem :) Yeah, I think I found with a similar problem but it was on the PC version..the multiple saves is a good idea though.

It has to do with updates or the level of video quality within the game. I had tons of trouble with that and simply reduced the video graphics within the game. If I want to set it higher, then I just save -- like -- every -- few -- minutes.  ::)
