Every time I try to use the Edit in Game option, it goes to a black screen and hangs up.
The game never loads
What am I doing wrong? Anyone else having this problem?
How do I fix this?
Thanks,
Shadowglass

Yes, I have to remove the DCBackup and DCCache Folders to be able to run Edit in Game.
Do you have downloads installed or Store stuff?
Have you waited about 30 minutes the first time for it to load?
I have to remove Riverview from the Downloads and install before I run edit in game but after removing the folders~ I really like Riverview stuff.

I am having some problems with the Edit in Game and DCCache that I heard many others have too.
I can't use EIG unless I move the DCCache folder away from C:\Documents \Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 as recommended here
BUT
that leaves me with very limited possibilities in the buy and build mode.
Not only third hand CC disappears - so does all store items
And the things you use to decorate your houses disappear if you put down a lot from another world in your new CAW project
An example:
I build a house in Sunset Valley and wanted to use it on my island and after being put down on the Island in EIG it looked quite different – many things where gone or changed .
So note:
You will only be able to upload a world with base game items in buildings
You can’t use all the houses you have spend time decorating - I can understand it because that way you would give away Store items for free.
But I only wish they where there to see if people who downloaded your world possessed them - like in TS2
Any ideas or comments on that?
if a user downloads a world with such content then the item will either be replaced with something similar or removed, thats only if u dont remove any files from their correct places.
its the same with WA items, place them on the map and a basegamer downloads it then they will be replaced by something else or removed (bridges being removed iv seen)
im sure i read that on a post about CAW from EA or something or might have been a vid on utube cant remember which
I really had to move the DCCache folder else loading would take up to half an hour and working in Build mode in EIG suffered terribly from lag making it impossible to create or work on lots.
The worst part of it is that upon replacing the DCCache folder to your game the houses in your world still show up with those default base game items. Once my newly created world was installed in my game I had to go through all the lots and houses in my world manually removing the base game lots and replacing them (from my lot library) with the store items purchased lots. A hassle but as far as I know it`s the only way.
I`m aware that not all people will have the store items or sets you may purchase and upon downloading your world will see the houses and lots you create with store items replaced with default base game items. It`s unfortunate but you really just have to put up with it as it is (at least for now).
I just wished the items would be visible for those who had them in their game
And johnscott10 - I have no idea what you mean about "in regards to the last post, the giving away store items is indeed false " ?? In fact I wrote that if they would come along it would be giving them away - but obviously they don't
I used to so hate removing all the stuff some people would pack into houses to try and make the look cool. Now I just don't download.
The funny thing is, building houses I stick with the same rules and it's made me appreciate custom content less and less. Sometimes I'm looking at something in my game that I wouldn't mind sticking in a house I'm building but I won't do it so I start asking myself why I have it in the first place. I can really only use one household of furniture in each town I'm playing and while I enjoy decorating those houses differently, I don't need 500 different objects for them.
I even downloaded a mod the other day from MTS that puts a little icon on in-game objects just so I can make double-sure not to add CC to anything I build.
For all my grousing about CC in downloaded houses, though, when it comes to finishing The Shire I'll have to use CC or it just won't look right at all.
