Hi, my gf plays Sims3 and I fixed the Saver addon to her.. now from nowhere 2 times it has crashed the game and the town is just gone. When i load the backupfile its an 3-4 hour old version even tho it was saved in that intervall. Is there a specific location where the addon stores the saves?

Hi there. Saver is nothing more than a fancy alarm clock that reminds the player (usually when it's least convenient, but that's really just an illusion) that it's time to run a Save As. And it offers the opportunity to rename the resulting Save As file using sequential numbering, if that option is engaged.

That's all the mod does. It does not process the actual save nor have any say in where on the system the resulting saved game lands. The result would be exactly the same as a manual Save As run without the mod present. If the game is crashing upon saving or the saves aren't landing in what should be the actively in use TS3 user game folder in Documents, then yes something is wrong but Saver can't really be the culprit. One thing I would look for is having more than one TS3 user game folder. On Win10/11 installs in particular, the game can easily confuse the Documents folder within OneDrive (unless OD is uninstalled) as the location to be using rather than the proper one in the user Documents folder.

The auto-generated backup file is an EA "feature" and only engages when a Save or Save As is run and overwrites the existing saved game with exactly the same name. One of the points of Saver is to get away from relying on those exclusively so that the player has saved games in their TS3 user game folder that look more like SunsetValley1, SunsetValley2, etc. until some max number is reached and the sequence begins again.
