@MemoriiValentine I am sorry to hear about the crashing. I think you need to fix the crashing because I have found it very useful to actually use EIG for building rather than keep exporting and adding lots that way. If EIG is being very sensitive about store content when you return the world to CAW, after exporting to add lots, store content will be missing or swapped out for base game items.
The method which sorted out my EIG crashes was to decide what store content I really wanted for the new world and then to uninstall the rest. I was pretty ruthless about this with the result that many of my saved games became unplayable. Before uninstalling unwanted store content I took a copy of the DCCache and the backupDCCache and saved them to my desktop. Then I read somewhere EIG doesn't like large download folders so I went into downloads on the launcher and cleared out everything it would allow me to, having previously saved a copy of the download folder to my desktop. I can't remember if there is a backup for the downloads folder but if there is that should be copied as well.
All that worked for me but as I said I am IT illiterate so it would be best to seek advice in the CAW tool section. I would also add I use a disk installed game and am on version 1.67 so if you are using version 1.69 there might be better ways to resolve this issue for you.
The best of luck in getting it sorted. I am really looking forward to seeing more pics.
I will be doing this today. Only install what I think I will need. I have added a lot of new lots to the world all over the map. I also will try to add dive lots. But I may have to make the water area bigger
