Rflong - Did you make sure to have the Sims 3 in the DEP exception and CAW as well?
I know I saw something about that as you describe - I can't recall if it was in Crinricts thread, or over at the modthesims threads for CAW and IP or if I saw it in something AuntieLynds wrote. But I am leaning toward the modthesims Sims caw discussions.
Not being an actual CAW user although I read everything those in the know seem to discuss - I don't always "get it" especially when a new ep comes out and I read that like the first few days the ep was out - also when I had the issues with Vampire Lounge in you new world I went searching out for patch creating problems so I did a lot of reading - but it all being so new nothing seems really to have stuck - but I just know I saw an instance or two of what you are describing.
Either way putting stuff on a save would be okay also if that is what you need to do.
As for your video card do you have the latest driver as that sounds at least like a driver issue. There wan a Nvidia update just recently and it made a difference. I'd also make sure your flash player is up to date as well as they use flash player a lot for this game and it's mechanics. In the meantime I will check some of those spots I was reading and see if I don't find something like your problem that people were talking about before. I do know one thing - before IP I could choose to launch my game via the launcher or go via the base game shortcut - but since IP I have to launch my game via the direct shortcut to the base game or everything is drastically slow. I also have to delete all those temp files in the DCcache if I have downloaded anything from the store or anywhere after installing other wise they slow the game starting a lot. They come back of course, but just cleaning them after downloading and installing anything seems to make the start up faster - sort of like cleaning all cache files do. Anyway - off to see if I can't find any solutions -
