Error codes 12 and 13 along with crashing.
newperson:
I have been receiving error code 13, almost from the beginning (about 2 weeks after I began playing). I have had them with and without CC; with and without Awesomemod; playing for long periods of time, or short. I've tried all the "voodoo" fixes and some worked...for a while. I added memory, which seemed to help...for a while. I don't remember when I began to get error code 12, but it seems just as random. I had someone look at it and he surmised that it looks like a video leak. There was a place in the logs in which, he said, it seemed like the game was trying to use the video card memory instead of system memory. He also pointed out that, if this is indeed the problem, there would likely not be a fix for it because too much would have to be recoded. The best I am able to do is to save about once an hour and shut the game and restart after two hours. Unfortunately, I sometimes get involved in the game and don't save or shut down in time, which brings on the inevitable error code (either 12 or 13). Saving more often than once an hour doesn't seem to help, and sometimes I get the error if I save too often!
I can only share what I've been told, as I just play. I love mods and appreciate the people who create them, but have no such talents myself.

Prior to this happening, I noticed that the path finding AI of some sims are disabled. When I direct them to a door, they go straight to that direction and stop in front of a wall that is between the sim and the door. And visiting neighbors, the ring doorbell becomes inaccessible and only functional if you do it outside of the neighbor's lot. Succeeding in ringing the doorbell, the neighbor inside the house just keep doing what it has been doing ignoring the bell. I had similar experience two months before and it also ended up in an error 13 and then error 12.
Yes!! The same things happen to me since I got error 12s!
Edit:
I used s3rc, deleted derelict car, deleted duplicate sims, and the same happened as yesterday. I could save for the first time and I got error 12 during the second save so I had to quit without saving.. again..
I recognized that after first saving the size of the save file became as big as was before I compressed it with s3rc. I mean my saved file was 89MB, then I used s3rc and it became 70 MB. I started to play and after the first successful saving the save file became 89 MB again.. And the second saving gave me the error 12..
What more can I do? My game is unplayable in this way..
Please answer to my previous comment too.

I had error codes 12 and 13 until I followed the advice of Jordi and only Saved, not Save and Quit. I also cleaned out my downloads and was fine for a week. Now unfortunately I have two layers of my Sunset Valley neighborhood, a blank one on top of the real one, with holes in the blank one where buildings would be. I have no idea how I fixed this when it happened to my Riverview Neighborhood. I'm playing in bootcamp Windows 7 on a newish MacBook Pro with 4 gig of memory and have tried emptying all my caches, shrinking my Saves folder, reducing downloads again, and will just keep fiddling until I find a solution. At least I'm not facing error codes 12 and 13 anymore so I suppose that's progress.

Something seems very wrong if your neighborhood is 89 MBs.

How many MBs would be normal?
