I have been unable to have a save work properly for more than a couple days before it starts to crash when I load it. Usually after that point, the game resets all my settings (changes the window size, disables facegen) and I can no longer continue the game from the home screen. So then when I try to load my save, I get a long pause on import players, and then it finally crashes on 64% on finished loading. This has happened across multiple saves among other issues, such as the game crashing when I try to sim the first game and getting an invalid database version message when I try to load a game.

I have tried just about everything I could think to resolve these issues and while they work temporarily, after a while the game eventually resets all the settings and then begins crashing again. I have tried reinstalling the game a number of times, resetting Windows permissions, running the game as administrator, replacing the continents file in my save with a new one, loading the backup files, removing the face pack I downloaded, among others. These all ended in either a temporary fix or no fix at all. Just looking for any help I can get because I really enjoy playing this and have been frustrated with it not working properly.

I uploaded my most recent save to the FTP Site with the folder name "The Waiting is Over Crash"
