Error codes 12 and 13 along with crashing.

I had the error 12 and 13 problem--including .bad saves, crashing, and neighborhood loss--about a month ago and noticed that it only happened after a long gameplay session--I'm talking about 7+ hours. Neither the frequency of my saves, or the length of time between them seemed to have any effect on my tendency to get error codes. So on days when I intended to play an indulgent amount I started exiting the game after 6 hours or so and then restarting it. Since coming up with this strategy I haven't had a 12 or 13 error code since. Perhaps this could be helpful for the rest of you.
I think that is very helpful, at least to me. Because the particular time that I was being constantly smacked with error after error, was when I had played my game for about five hours, then left it on screensaver and gone elsewhere for a while. Once I came back I wanted to move my elders into their retirement home, cause my house was full, so I did and added another house for some other members. Then I tried to save, which didn't work, and I came here, then went back to my game where I pressed save and boom it just crashed.
Also when times I am trying out mods and removing and adding custom content, I turn my game on and off, sometimes entering a house and saving. I don't remember getting error messages then.
I will most definitely be trying this method, of playing for about 5 hours at most and then restarting the game. I'll report back here with what happens. I'm hoping this will work!

This started happenig to me about two nights ago. I had turned on my game and had to do something unexpected,and forgot to turn it off. I returned about five hours later and played for about ten minutes before I saved and it threw an error 12(I haven't had a 13 or a crash). I was very careful to save frequently and not use-save and quit. I did it again last night so I'm pretty sure it has more to do with how long the computer was on verses how much was being saved. My game is about 77MB. I run Sims 2 with 9 gigs of CCs and the Megahood without crashing or major slowdown. My computer isn't new, but it was made to run the Sims well.

So I'm thinking we might have the answer?... You will most probably get errors 12 & 13 if your game runs on for an extended period of time. Not sure what might cause this though.
I remembered something from sims 2 also. When I'd play sims 2 for a very long time or leave it on for a very long time, I had no trouble with saving, but my game would become slower and jerk the screen when I tried to scroll, until I'd get annoyed and quit. But when I restarted it, it was always back and performing fast.
I think this is just the way of a machine. It's why people are urged to turn off their computers when not in use, for fear of viruses, and it's good for it to cool down and rest. (unless you have a mac, which can't get viruses)

...for fear of viruses?! Dude, just disconnect from the internet if you're worried things might download themselves.
Current uptime: 19d 11:45. I had to reboot a while back for some updates to take.

Oh yes, yes, disconnect blah, blah.
I not ascared of the big bad virus though.
I was talking about the poor folks in my real world family who barely know how to connect to the internet. Heck, they barely know how to turn on their computers. And in that case it's best not to use big words and just tell them to turn the dang computer off.
