There's nothing as far as I'm aware (from a general troubleshooting standpoint) that would cause settings changes to revert at random. Crashing due to corrupt data is one thing but as Sebastian has alluded to before, that's nearly always an issue with Onedrive's read/write process causing havoc during the games save process otherwise it would be a more widespread issue affecting multiple users.
Have you set a custom data path/install location for the game or are you just using the default? Is this just a default game you're playing or did you edit lots of things/custom game?

I tried the custom data path to get it out of OneDrive after I read this reply and started a new save to sim up to the same point as my previous one. A few hours later I reopened the game, and my settings were all reverted again and continue game is no longer an option, same issue as before. I tried to load the new save I just made after changing the data path, still crashed to desktop at 64% on finished loading. This makes me think there might be an issue with how the game installed as a whole, since this problem has gone over every save I have done to this point.
