Since the last Origin update, I suddenly cannot save any of my existing games and new games on Sims Medieval Pirates & Nobles. The Save Game messages says: Cannot save. Error Code 18.
I've tried updating the game and repairing the game. Nothing works so far.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thank you for the clarification!
My confusion was with the save files in the second folder. I followed your instructions and now it is fixed!

Hi @PoloHunkerton,
It might be some kind of file corruption that is making impossible to save. Let's try this:
Can you save now?
If you can save, then:
Good luck,

Hello. I'm back in the game (after over a year long hiatus!). I had uninstalled Sims Medieval and also Origin. I just reinstalled Origin and Sims Medieval. The same Error Code 18 and inability to save occurs.
I tried to rename the folder as you advised (although, the folder was located at > Program Files (x86) > Origin Games > The Sims Medieval). What happened next was, Origin got me to download the game again — which I did. But still the same error message.
I tried started a new Kingdom, but this wouldn't save either. I hope you can help.

I am getting this now, after installing pirates and nobles. Done as instructed here and no joy.
Also repaired the game and again, no different 😕
Never had the problem in all the years with the game.

i didn't see it until now, but it's irrelevant really as that was done before i played my 1st and only game. 😓
The first part of what you guys did, DID work for me, but then when doing 2nd part - nothing
Repairing game - nothing
Clearing cache (deleting all 3 packages) nothing
Uninstalling and reinstalling - nothing
EA's answer (Which I have not accepted)
"It's a browser game now, not supported on a server - take a free game instead"
