my sims 3 create a world keeps crashing lately when i click it to start it it says
"The sims 3 create a world tool-beta has crashed!
exception information:
attempted to read or write protected memory, this iften is an indication that other information is corrupt."
then another thing comes up that says
"The sims 3 create a world tool-beta has failed to shutdown properly. Please end the sim 3 create a world tool-beta using the windows task manager"
i want to get this to work again so i thought of just uninstalling it but i don't want the worlds that i am working on to not be saved. so if i uninstall CAW and then re install it will the worlds i am making still be saved so i can continue to finish them. is there any way to save them so that when i reinstall CAW they will still be there for me to continue.

Only if you make sure you've backed everything up on an external device.
You only need to back-up one folder. Take the UserToolData folder and place or copy it somewhere safe on your computer or a flash drive. Uninstall CAW, then reinstall. Then you can place the folder back where you found it. *Everything* you are working on, worlds, textures, brush sizes you have saved, patterns, all of it is in that folder.
The folder can be found Here: Documents>Electronic Arts>The Sims 3 Create A World Tool>UserToolData. Once you have replaced that folder after reinstalling, all your worlds and work will be there.
Copy and paste your Saved Sims and Installed world folder if you have any on going games in a safe place until you re-install TS 3. You can replace the saves folders back into the Sims 3 folder befor you start the game launcher. This way you wont lose your stuff.
For working in CAW I keep two Electronic Arts Folders Always,
rename one Play Electronic Arts - the other CAW Electronic Arts in my documents.
When you open CAW for the first time, CAW will create a fresh Sims 3 folder.
You have to take the first word off folders each time to play or work in caw, that tends to be a little annoying at times.
CAW doesn't' work to well with CC and store stuff in edit game, it will crash.
I find that it works good with Base game only and I have no problems with edit in game with CAW. I do have a low end computer. I hope this helps you out.
