I've just downloaded the Sims4 on my MacBook Air (2021 - Ventura os). I previously played it on an old computer but haven't installed it on this one.

I can't save any files. The game exits and starts as new, or when I try to "save as", I get "error code 0". 

I've tried to repair the files in origin, I seem to have space on my computer, I've deleted and redownloaded both origin and the Sims. Still having the same issue.

@allison1530 Have you tried renaming the user folder yet and see if it works on a fresh folder ?

Hi.  Suddenly I'm getting error 0.  I've taken out my saved folder but it still gave me the code.  I took out the mods and can't save.  I can "save as" with no problem, but would really like my "save" back.  I made a new sim and started a new game.  The game saved.  I wonder if my file is corrupt from being so old.  If I take my sims into CAS I'm unable to get back to the game and have to shut it down.  Can you help pls?

@leahxrix If you can use save as that would still be the same save game, just a different name. Do you have to do save as each time ?

Hi.  Yes, I have to use "save as" each time.  I could go on doing that, but now I can't get out of CAS. Thank you for replying!

@leahxrix how much disc space do you have left ? Error 0 is usually a permission issue but there have been other causes. Are you on Windows or Mac ?

 

It could also be one of your Sims is corrupted.

Hi.  So I have only 30.2 gb left.  I have 2 drives and have to figure out which one the Sims is on to figure out if that is accurate.  I sort of do hope it's a Sim!   

Edit - its on a different drive with 931 gb left.  I'm on windows.

@leahxrix Then It might be a corrupted Sim

Would you mind sending me the problem save ?
