Can't open CAW worlds in Edit in-game: new thread for kostamaja

This thread is for a new member who can't create their own. Any help would be very much appreciated.
  • Hi guys

    I downloaded CAW a few weeks ago and didn't have much trouble. Until I wanted to use the edit in game mode. Unlike many others, I don't have a problem with the game not opening but a bit further along.

    The game does open and does load but then an error pops up every time. 'A serious error has occurred while loading . It is strongly recommended that you restart the application.'

    I tried restarting the program, the computer, removing mods and cc from the game file.

    Neither mine nor the pre-prepared cities work.



    I have: ambitions, late night, pets, generations, university life, seasons, and master suite.



    Can I do sth about it or am I just destined to fail?

    Hi, @Kostomaja :)

    What update level are you using?
    Do you have CC or Store installed?
  • I guess this maybe caused by too much store contents. As someone here said, "EIG doesn't like store content."

    Since you're not using CC/Mods/Store, generate a new The Sims 3 folder by renaming the folder (rename The Sims 3 folder in Documents\Electronic Arts to Holding ).
    Opening the Launcher will cause the game to generate a clean TS3 folder. Close the Launcher,Now try to run EIG.

    I also use a batch file to run the world in EIG instead of opening CAW first. It takes some strain off your computer.

    I downloaded the 1.69 version of CAW and my game is a 1.69.43.024017

    I did try removing all cc and mods from the game folder and nothing changed
