It's important that you make a new save every time you save. A single save file in this game gets corrupted when it is repeatedly overwritten. So use "save as", name your save, and I typically use a number in the save, combined with my household name. So first is Carter 1, second Carter 2, third Carter 3, etc. Once you have around 40 saves you'll want to delete all but the last 3 or so and start over with the numbering. The saves are located in Start>Documents>Electronic Arts>The Sims 3>Saves.

If you want to 'Save and Quit', instead 'Save as', make your numbered save, and then choose 'Quit' without saving.

The save and quit option is known to add up to save file corruption. So this may be a save file on its last legs.
To find out the answer you need to try saving with a brand new save file and see if the same happens (back up the old save file first to test it out). Because if the result is the same then we need to think on what other issues may be happening

The technical term for it is "save file bloating". A save file that is saved over and over and over on top of it gets bloated and thus corrupted. Then it takes longer and longer to load up and eventually does not even load at all. For now since I have 2 worlds different from each other and play both households I use the world name on the save file, since both are different worlds and I use romanic numbers -Like Bridgeport, Bridgeport II, etc..then I delete all of the temp saves and just leave the latest one to not clutter the save folder. I know you can rename it and just needs to have the file extensions preserved so I remove the temp romanic numbers from the latest save after clearing the Saves folder and make a backup copy of the folder

Sorry for i using Thailand language, so he/she may understand answers better, and my answers also similar previous comments too.

ตามที่คอมเม้นต์ก่อนๆพูดเลย แนะนำเน้น Save As แทน Save หรือ Save and Quit หากอยากให้เซฟปลอดภัยและเล่นได้ปกติสุดๆ
หากต้องการจะเซฟแและปิดเกมใช้ Save As จากนั้น Quit โดยไม่เซฟจะปลอดภัยที่สุด
ซึ่งกรณีใช้ Save หรือ Save and Quit อาจทำให้มีโอกาสเซฟเจ๊งหน่อยๆได้ (แต่ส่วนใหญ่ Save จะปลอดภัยอยู่ นอกจากเราไปเปิดหน้าต่างโฟลเดอร์เซฟพร้อมกัน อาจทำให้เกิด Error Code ขึ้นและเจ๊งได้)

Error Code อาจเกิดขึ้นได้ส่วนใหญ่คือ Save แล้วเปิดหน้าต่างโฟลเดอร์เซฟพร้อมกัน หรือ จำนวนไฟล์เซฟเยอะเกินไปมาก (ซักประมาณ 4GB ได้)
และทุกครั้งที่กด Save แทน จำนวนไฟล์(ระบบขยะ)อาจเพิ่มขึ้นเล็กน้อยด้วยและอาจมีโอกาสทำให้เกิดระบบผิดพลาดและรวนตามมาในอนาคตได้

ใช้ Save As จะปลอดภัยที่สุด และใช้ชื่อเซฟยังไงก็ได้ประมาณ "Sunset Valley 1" 2 และ 3 แบบนี้เรื่อยๆ (เปลี่ยนชื่อเซฟที่โฟลเดอร์ภายหลังได้)

โฟลเดอร์เซฟดูได้ที่ Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 > Saves
