Hey All!
I wanted to share something that could potentially be very useful.
It happened yesterday after finally installing Ambitions and then the new CAW. I nipped into the normal game to get a look at the new lots and what sorts of things they each had inside, so I restored the DCCache folder so all the objects were available.
Once finished, I closed it down and went back into CAW. It wasn't long before I went into Edit In Game so I could finally furnish my fire house I made months ago.
Now, this is the interesting bit; I clicked the EIG button and selected yes to all the prompts. It was only when the screen went black to load up the Sims that I realised that I hadn't moved the folder!!
I steeled myself for a looooooooong load up time as it always taked the best part of twenty minutes to load up with the folder in place!
BUT.....
It loaded up as though the folder had been removed!
Then even whilst in Edit In Game, it was fine and wasn't laggy or stuttering at all!
Those few times I left the folder in place, it was dreadful and I'd have to wait ages for it to catch-up. This time was different! And I can carry on building as I would during the full game!
I thought I'd share this with you all to find out if this is just a one-off, or if anyone else has noticed this?
Do you think that they've re-coded (I think that's the right word) CAW to work better with store-bought and CC?
Has anyone else experienced this?

Fabulous find!!
Thanks
I almost totally quit using CAW due to all the lagging issues, I hated removing the DCCache because I would always forget to put it back when I went to play the game, and then all my store stuff would have to be re-downloaded again.
I've just come out of EIG and back into normal CAW - and guess what?
It recognises the store objects and the cc objects!
So I can see the church I built with the Castle Kits set items from the store showing!
As you can see below:
Though this isn't world shattering stuff - it's made me quite happy! Now my world looks like it should!
Thanks for adding this feature EA!!
