Good Suggestions ALL!
I read somewhere that if there is 2GB of objects in your Downloads folder installed, the world will glitch when using CAW/EIG.
I make sure it is well below that - and do not install any clothing, hair, or similar objects. That includes any similar objects into the Mod's folder or in the Program Files/Electronic Arts/CAW/Packages folder. In Mods folder and CAW/Packages folder I do not have any CORE or control packages.
When I'm ready to populate the world before Export - I add clothing, hair, makeup, and pre-made Sims. This is only after I'm finished with the world and ready to publish. I keep a copy of both Documents\The Sims 3 folder and the Program Files/ EA/CAW folder to a separate Drive/Folder (using the current date and what as the folders name.
The trouble is getting there.
