Eeeerk my Sims Life stories won't save anymore!

[Ceenab]

I hope there is another way to go!  I only got my laptop three weeks ago.  Hate to think I need a new one already (but you could be right!).  I've been trying some other things with it today...nothing would save on Vincent's Story or Riley's Story, but YAY YAY YAY it will save progress in Free Play neighbourhood.  Maybe EA made the two Story modes with a limited save catch?  The houses in Free Play are pretty topo but I will miss my old families!
