I've lost yet another save....

I don't know if it's coincidence or not, but ever since the 9/3 patch, I've lost 4 saves now. Last night and today I tried to play a household in a save I don't use much, and it keeps crashing to desktop (the other saves are ok). I tried repairing the game last night, and it didn't work.
This is the kind of behavior I'd expect from an old computer with a failing hard drive, but my comp is only a year old. I only have one mod (for woohoo). When my other saves crashed, I removed the mod entirely, and it made no difference.
What is going on here?

Once the latest patch hit, I learned from the mess I had previously, and just started anew. This time I used my original Erik. I'm much happier now, but still I feel your grief. A crashing computer is no fun at all. Losing saves is heart-rending, too. I make a backup prior to patching. I probably could have grabbed the saves folder from that, but for the fact it was the 'other' Erik. Didn't feel right after a time.
As to what's going on, I'm going to suggest in my less than knowledgeable self on tech stuff, is that the old saves get corrupted during the patching process. At least that's been my experience.

You probably know this already but just in case it helps... there are backups within a single save that you can revert back to. Have you tried that?
I forget what the option says exactly but when you select a save you can revert it back to 5 save points before the final save.
I got a 124 error recently I need to report, but no crashes thankfully.
If it's not that, then your sims maybe have corrupt relationships, that can cause the game to crash as well. You can try saving your household to the gallery, remove them and then place them back in your save.
I had no idea that I could roll a save back, or that there are backups, thanks for the info
Not sure...I only have a handful of households in that save, I'll try another one. They are at home when the save crashes. I may have to move them to the gallery and then add them back. Maybe the lot itself is corrupted?
You can test that by visiting the lot with another sim on that save.
One odd thing--it will not save that couple to my library. It says they've been uploaded to it, but they don't show up. That's ok, though--as long as I have them in gallery, I'm good. Thanks for everyone's help, I appreciate it
I did, but to no avail. It's ok, though--it's really only one household that I care about, so I can start a new save with them
