My sim came back from Egypt and the whole family's gone invisible! I tried to see if changing their outfits would help but it turns out that their ages are also f....d up! I quit the game and launched it back, but there's no change! Now everytime I go back to Egypt, sim still comes home invisible! I'd really hate to start the game from the beginning! Are there any solutions?

How come when sims go traveling the game manages to save without the errors, but when they're back in the neighborhood the errors are back and the game crashes?                   

i only manage to save the game twice before i get the error 12, then error 13 and after that it crashes to the desktop. i've edited the town and the game got saved but after a few seconds it crashed again. i'm getting very tired of this bs, coz i can only play for 20min at a time!
is there a new patch coming out anytime soon?! i'm on 2.3.3
