I've had the Sims for many years now. I've recently encountered not being able to save my Sims 3 game as the whole thing freezes & there's no point continuing to play as I cannot save due to this problem. Please create a patch EA!! I've spent a fair bit of money on each game & expansion pack so hope the problem is rectified very soon. It's taken long enough!

The game started freezing every save once I started my 4th generation. The game is totally useless and unplayable due to this issue. I have tried downloading the game to mu console, saving often, saving to new files, deleting inventory, and decreasing the size of my family. Nothing works. It is irresponsible for a company to continue to allow people to purchase this game, knowing full well that it's garbage. This needs to be fixed or a recall and refund needs to take place.

I Was Happily Playing Sims 3. All Was Going Well, And I Decided To Stop Playing For A Day. So, I Saved It. I Expected It To Be Saved Any Minute, But It Didn't. So I Left It On Overnight. Got up, Did My Day To Day Activities. And When I Did Check, It Was Still Saving. So, I Had No Choice But To Unplug My PS3. This Can't Have Somthing To Do With The Disk Because So Many Of Us Have Experienced It. Down With EA!

This should be fixed immidiatly!

I just bought the Sims 3 today and it is a piece of crap. Every time I play I have to keep turning my Xbox off and reloading it. EA needs to fix this problem. It is very frustrating.

Not only was I saving CONSTANTLY, I tried my console's hard drive, as opposed to the flash drives alone. Lost a lot of time and content from each data file. Went to EA online and their "servers were down". For such a well financed corporation, EA isn't showing any appreciation for its gamers.

F**king disgraceful I cannot believe they are still selling this game with this incredibly annoying bug/glitch thing going on! What is the point playing for hours and then not being able to save it does my freaking head in! There shouldn't be a question of compensation, they should fix the bloody game so you can save without problem. EA I'm so disappointed I cannot believe it, only got the game a week ago and already having this problem, it is not my console or the disk and I'm not on xbox live, the problem is you and you should get it fixed.

I don't know if the day will ever but I beg of you to please put new patches and updates for the sims 3 Xbox 360 & PS3. You guys really don't know how many people you will make happy.

I can't advance because my Xbox freezes everytime I try to save. The likeliness I will continue to purchase EA games is very slim if an update is not made for this issue.

Whenever I have a save that's at least 3 weeks old (in sims time), ALL of the areas dissapear, and I get unpainted concrete walls and patches of fluroscent grass even though it's night. I can't interact with any buildings. I eally do hope this gets fixed...

I'm frustrated that Sims 3 locks up when I try to save. I love the game, but this is getting ridiculous.

Elizabeth kugler

Please fix got so far and I'm unable to continue..... :(

This is unfair make a patch!!!!!

The game freezing during a save is highly annoying. I can play for 5 minutes or 50 minutes, it doesn't matter, the game freezes during the saving process.

Always freezes when creating a pet, whole xbox 360 freezes up.

Kelly Booker

I have brought a new copy Sims3 on The Ps3 and after playing it for ages of it working fine it started freezing when i went to save. I then brought a 360 and a Sims3 copy for it and it worked fine aswell then after a month of playing it also did the same so i tried getting a new game again and it just keeps freezing.

Listen EA!!! ALL of us and I MEAN ALL of us have loved this Sims game. I too play The Sims 3 XBOX 360! I loved that game and sometimes I feel like playing it for 6-7 hours because it's soooo good! So let ME tell you this!!! IT'S ALREADY 2014!!!! AND THE SIMS 4 IS GOING TO BE RELEASED!! YOU'VE BEEN DODGING PEOPLES ANSWERS AND IT'S BEEN 4 YEARS SINCE THE SIMS 3 XBOX HAS BEEN RELEASED!!! AT LEAST MAKE A PATCH!! I'VE HEARD IN THE SIMS WIKI THAT YOUR MAKING A PATCH FOR OTHER GAMES!!!!! I MEAN LIKE WHAT THE HECK?!!! pls fix this game!!! I've started since the beginning of 7th grd to the end of 7th and I still get mad when the screen freezes after I save. I was on week 14 day 5, and I have six household Sims. And once my child sim who I always play as got taken away by the social worker even though she is perfectly fine honer student, best friends with a girl and many friends she has!!! Also whenever I save after and hour of playing, my screen freezes after all that fun and hard work that I want to save!! Whenever I the screen freezes, I always have that sad music that when your child sim get taken away music stuck in my head when the screen freezes!
