Rflong - Well this is a work around that a number of simmers are all saying is working for them and yes they are having the same crash of EIG as you - I copied the whole post:
This is a post by a simmer called BenCO722:
"I experienced this too. But I have good news. I have discovered a work-around.
Here's what I did, step by step:
1) Initiate or start CAW, or it's otherwise running.
2) Start up EIG.
3) Alt-Tab out of TS3/EIG.
4) Close CAW. Keep TS3/EIG running.
5) Change whatever you want in EIG.
6) Save in EIG.
7) Close TS3.
8) Open the world in CAW to work on it more, if desired.
The changes will save.
The technical reason why the save failed? Well, only one program may have a file open at any given time. As CAW had the files open, TS3/EIG couldn't write to them. Solution? Close CAW.
Before, CAW "released" the files (so CAW didn't have them open) after EIG started, but the latest version didn't do that for some reason."
So far the only thing lots of people say works - Hope it helps you. Hugz Reggie
