Hi!I really need some help here!
After playing my self-made world for a couple of weeks, it suddenly crashes in the middle of loading. I tested the world like 6 times before installing it in the game and adding buldings, families etc(because edit in game modus in caw is so slow, I did most of the editing in the installed version)
I have tried removing all my cc without luck
The world is not so large that it should be a lack of memory problem
It does not happend with other families in EA worlds
Any suggestion of what might be wrong?
edit: updated info
This problem is now solved! Thank you for all help

I don't know if removing the CC you used in the world/building lots would actually help.
Have you deleted the cache files?

Good luck.
Are all your worlds lots place in CAW?
Did you add most of your built lots in CAW using EIG or in the installed world after?
The reason why I'm asking is, if you've done all your lot building while playing your world(edit town).
It will eventually become impossible for your computer to save & load.
Each time you make changes, the save gets bigger, until your computer can't handle it.
Your best bet is to save all your built lots from playing to the bin.
Then add them to your world in CAW using EIG.
When exporting this time you should consider changing the worlds WPID so new export is unique for original.
This tutorial explainshow it's done.
The less structural changes you make to an exported world the better it'll run/load/save over time.
I figured out this problem/solution because for quite a while I couldn't get EIG to work.
I'd exported my world's with lots placed but I would build everything in the installed world.
Saves over time got bigger & bigger, until loading or saving would cause my computer to crash.
