Hey, Amber here telling you how to get rid of your pesky error code 12 (at least for a little while). Error code 12 has been occurring a lot more since the release of Generations back in May and it's been getting on so many simmers nerves (INCLUDING ME!!). I hope this video can help just little bit, and hey, if it does, leave a comment, like the video, and share it with your friends!
-Amber-

  • Hi I did everything you said and I'm still getting error code 12 :-(

  • @RastaEmpress1 Sorry to hear. I guess it doesn't work for everyone, try restarting your comp[uter and THEN doing this.

  • Hi how often should we do this??

  • @RastaEmpress1 Everytime you get error code 12, shut down your game, restart your computer, do this method, then open sims back up.

  • Wow, Thank you, your videos are very informative.

  • @JoshLS96 Thank you a lot, I'm glad to help out my fellow simmies :)

see all

  • thanks that really helped i was abt to delete a sims but you saved him hahahaahh....no really thanks a lot

  • thanks for the info =) and yes restating your computer helps

  • you can also remove the Bad files on the Save files. . :)

  • @DragonOfManga Well clearly I am not a liar, considering the fact that this has worked for dozens of people (as you can see in the comments) as well as it having worked for me.

    So, on that note, fuck you for being jerk-off. :)

  • Can you do this while your game is still open?

  • Im confused, so Im just going to lose what I have currently? :(

  • Can you send me the link for the no memories mod, I found them completly useless and the origin of a lot of issues and slower games.

  • help please , my movie "The Sims 3 Problem"

  • I have this problem all the time and am going to try your solution. I just had a quick question, though- you said that the memories system takes up computer memory that you would otherwise use to save your gave, and that removing the files from the EA folder "gives the files a breather". What exactly is happening there? Are the files still being accessed by the game and taking up memory, which is freed up when you delete them? Please let me know so I can pass the knowledge on to others.
