Game Crashing At "Preparing Town" Screen

Hey everyone! I just got my 3ds and started playing AC: NL (digital version) 3 days ago and it's the second time I encountered this problem.
The first time this happened on the 2nd day, when I exited to home screen to adjust the time (day light saving) while Isabelle was asking if the time was right. When I loaded the game again the black screen stating "An error has occurred. Hold down the POWER Button to turn off the power, then turn it on and try again." would appear. After being unable to fix it after numerous attempts, I gave up and started a new game ... assuming I had somehow corrupted the save file by exiting at that screen.
Now, two days into my second town the same thing has occurred, though I have been careful with saving and exiting. I had put my 3ds to sleep at the main menu after exiting before I went to work and the error occurred when I returned home. I really hope there is a fix to this as I've grown attached to the town (as I was the first one) and I'd be concerned about starting a new game only to have the save game gone after putting in hours of work. The thing is, it can't be completely corrupted as I can see my town and its villagers still moving about on the main menu? right?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hmm... problem appeared to be fixed after I redownloaded the game.
