:( You really should tell people at the outset that the Expansion Packs are required to play this world. According to the write up in the exchange, the world only needs the basic game. Wrong!!
Unfortunately the listing of items used in a world (or any creation) is very buggy on the site, that is not the creator's fault. Those listings almost always contain items/expansion packs that were not used and do not include ones that were. While it may have been a bonus for niac to have included the info in the description he wrote, I can see that he was going for a roleplaying type of description.
Just a suggestion, but I've found that when I'm interested in a world I now Google it to try to find the creator's thread and/or website on it as that will give me a LOT more info than the poorly designed Exchange pages. Niac does go over what he used and what's required at the beginning of this thread. I've had many worlds I downloaded and couldn't play because I didn't look into them further :(.
Sadly I don't think you'll be able to play this world without at least Island Paradise and the Monte Vista world from the Store. The world is HEAVILY dependent on IP which is probably why it's crashing on you :(. If you'd like another world to play in, Riverview in the Store is free (and actually quite nice). Or, look around for expansion packs on sale for really cheap - a lot of them are now, or you can get some bundles with more than one EP. Most EP's come with a world. Also, and this is a bit more work, but you can visit the CAW forums and look at worlds lists, or just post a thread asking for help finding base-game only worlds. I KNOW there must be some good ones there. Best of luck!
