If it catches an error it can’t correct, it “traps” the error and logs it so your save file can still load.

This mod is a life saver! It catches and attempts to correct script errors that too often corrupt your save and render it unloadable. This is probably the game’s biggest weakness but the good news is that thanks to talented modders and players who have written good tutorials on how to tweak the game files, The Sims 3 can be the enjoyable experience it was meant to be. It was unstable back in its hey day and is arguably even moreso now with modern hardware that the game no longer recognises. However, even diehard fans of this installment can’t deny that The Sims 3 is rather… unstable.

Even though The Sims 3 is not my favourite of the series by a long shot, I still find myself revisiting it fairly often these days for a few of those nostalgic features I did enjoy and miss in The Sims 4, like horses, teen rebellion and milestones, and being able to invest in real estate. There’s no doubt that The Sims 3 holds some nostalgic charm for a lot of us.
