Such as when you have brain surgery scheduled to have your plantar warts removed?

Don't know where I'd find the patch information as there's nothing anywhere that says what version it is. It's the latest one via the launcher, that's all I can tell you unless it's hidden in some secret file somewhere.
You need to patch every EP & SP you have installed. The launcher doesn't do this. The Sims 3 Patch Downloader utility over at MTS will check if you're missing any patches, download them and install them. You can also use it to check your version numbers.
This may or may not solve your game issue, but at least you'll know your game is properly patched, and you will be able to give a direct & non-rambling answer to the question: what patch versions are you running. Your tendency to ramble makes most of us want to skip your posts.
BTW, don't presume you are alone in having health issues. Many people live with health issues. Having health issues doesn't make you particularly special and listing them doesn't make us feel sorry for you - it's more likely to make us point and laugh at your attempt to play the "speshul snowflake" card.

It's obviously too late now, but in addition to making sure you are fully patched, and ensuring that you have no background programs interfering, you could have renamed The sims 3 folder in My docs. This recreates all the folders the game needs without any of your downloads, saved games, or CC, and without having to reinstall the whole game. Then you could have added/reinstalled the downloads, CC, worlds, and saved games gradually, which may have isolated the problem if it had to do with add-on content. I had to do this after installing Late Night. I felt it was actually not a bad thing to purge all that extra crap on occasion, although I never isolated any single cause of the problem. I suspect it just had to do with the changes made by LN.
All that said, I am sorry to say your saved game is likely corrupt and unrecoverable. If this is occurring every time you try to open and try to save a brand spanking new game, then yeah, I'd be writing EA and giving them a rant, too.
ETA: Doppleganger sims are occuring for many players, I have seen them in my last 3 saved games; and I see other strange bugs on a regular basis. Just today I probably encountered a half dozen or more when I played one of my neighborhoods, although I haven't played the ghost hunter career in awhile so I have no idea about that error. Sims getting stuck in interactions, or actions not completing. I need to keep better track! Anyway, not sure it's just the bugs that are the problem, it's the serious error that is your problem.

Cheers, had no idea the launcher was that unreliable. I'll go check out MTS, got faced this morning with "A serious error has occurred" on what is now a fresh new game on a fresh reinstall of last night and the only mods I have are AM and the 2 by Buzz to fix dig site and unhappy mood bugs.
Update: Nope, seems it's not the issue. All of the expansions and the base game are all up to date according to the downloader, so guess I did it right by running the game once after each install.
TS3 1.19.44.010002
WA 2.14.4.010002
Amb 4.7.4.010001
LN 6.2.4.010001
No idea what's causing the error then. Gonna start writing that email. :P In the meantime giving a reinstall another shot, this time running ccleaner first to clear every single trace of crap off my harddrive and I'll use that patcher instead of running TS3 each time to patch it up.

It wasn't an attempt to make anyone feel sorry for me, I don't need pity. Someone was hinting that there was maybe a problem with me and not the game itself, I was responding in my own way in saying other than all the things that are wrong with me there's nothing else.
