Well, surprise, surprise! Sunday week 3 in game and I've just experienced another bug! The saved game can't open and causes an error which causes Sims 3 to close down. I've closed down the game, rebooted the computer, cleaned the caches etc, but no luck. So, I return to my previous save, which was done on the Saturday of week 2, which I understand I can do without needing to seek permission:
From the ruleset
If you have a bonafide bug, then you may return to an earlier save.
On Sunday, week 3, the first death in the family occurred, and as I posted earlier in this thread, the sim that died went to a party, taking the family motive mobile with him, and parking it in the spare parking spot at the house where the party was held, resulting in the Spirins losing their motive mobile.
My question is: as I know he'll die, can I take different actions (eg not send him to the party, or put the motive mobile into a sim's inventory) so it isn't lost to the family, or do I need to take the same actions that'll result in the family losing their motive mobile?
Many thanks for your answer.
