    here is a method that saved my game:

    1. Start the Sims3. Start a new game in the same world/town that your error 12 game was in.

    2. Create or choose any sim and move him into any lot, and play him for a few seconds.

    3. Save the game as "Recovery". Quit the game.

    4. Go to the folder: Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Saves.

    5. Open the folder with the name of your error12 game. Select and copy the file with the name that looks like: "TownName_0x000000000.nhd" (TownName will be replaced with the name of whichever world you were playing)

    6. Now, go back to the Saves folder and open the folder named "Recovery.sims3"

    7. Inside this folder, paste the nhd file.

    8. Start the Sims3 game. Once it loads to the main menu, select the "Recovery" game to play.

    9. Once it opens you should see your original family in your original home. Go into the menu, and select "Save As" and save it under a new name. Quit the game.

    10. Start the Sims3. In the main menu, select the new file you created in step 9 and play.

    Its saved my game quite a few times,
