Awesome! I hope it works for everyone. SheenaFin is everything the way it was? I mean did you have lots that vanished initially and return with the updated update etc...? >_>
I was lucky one, cause I was just starting new world and adding first lots and after I noticed this problem, I deleted all and now starting again Hope others can tell you did they get all lots back or not.
Just download that update and now it works! :thumbup:
Sorry but no, not for me. Downloaded the new CAW, installed, removed all cache files, copied un untouched backup from external hard drive, opened the world and tried to save... and still got the read-only lots -warnings. At that point I didn't even try to open the EIG to see if it still crashes, since the first problem still stays. :?
I also noticed another issue, related or not. While CAW is out, I tried to do some lots in a normal Edit Town -mode and every now and then the game freezes - the cursor keeps spinning around but nothing happens. Also, after a manual closing, there is no crash logs in Sims 3 folder. This also started to happen only after Supernatural. In normal playmode this doesn't happen. Odd.
Ah I made a forum post about this last night and found this today. OOPS! =(
Anyways, not having any issues with lots disappearing. However, I was not able to go into EiG until I deleted lots that were actually EA built. All my custom lots that I created were just fine. Upside, I got to load up and save all my hard work by uploading my buildings one at a time. Downside is I can't export my world.
I have tried using spe3 and pulling the stuffs to make Bridgeport, Hidden Springs, Sunset Valley, and Appaloosa Plains and NONE of them will export. I can edit all of them in game however, just can't export.
Yeah I asked a question on that page and still haven't been answered. Where do I get the update from? I just re-installed the entire thing again but I don't know if its automatically updated because I don't know what version the newest one is. I wish someone could answer me..

I assumed that they were talking about updated CAW. At least that is what I dowloaded, even though it didn't do any good.
Oh okay, so just reinstall and it should be updated? Cause thats what I did. I think it said I am on version 2.0 is that the current one? Btw, THANK YOU so so so so very much for responding!
EDIT: Also, didn't fix anything for me either. Getting more error messages and still unable to export. =(

This is strange. The one I downloaded from the official CAW site and installed, is a version 1.0.4653.38584
I don't know if it's a personal problem or a CAW problem, but I'm having issues exporting my world and installing it now. It's never showing up as an option to play in game. When I install it, it says it has been installed on client. Play the game, can't find it, exit game, open back client, and it's no longer showing it's installed.
I installed them before fine. I deleted the two DC file folders. I even took my .world file and copy/paste it into the installed worlds folder
Two days ago, created a world that I was not really excited about, but I was planning to export. Tried to open CAW and was told to update to the new one Decided to scrap the one I started before and start fresh with the new updated version. Placed all of my roads and trees then went to edit in game to place my lots. Had some saving issues, but finally got things to start saving one lot at a time (in edit in game mode). Went back to CAW and all lots were gone! So frustrated! Decided to try and export the world as is and place lots again during game play. World exported fine, but when I installed, it didn't show up in my worlds list. When I reopened the launcher, it was as if it never installed. I happened to upload it to the exchange as well (as a foolproof backup since I lost some others on my last computer when it died and haven't been able to retrieve the data). When I went into my studio page and clicked on the world, it said "Contains: Please update your game." I have all currently released Sims3 expansions available. I saw that they updated the launcher to show Seasons, but I didn't think that could be the issue with my world...Until now? The size is only 16.83 MB so I don't think it is a size issue. Hope they fix this soon!
Just noticed that if you don't save your world before clickin EIG and saving, EIG will crash. If you save and Then click EIG button, it does not crash.

Doesn't help at all. I always save before entering EIG, always, and now everytime I save, I get that read-only lots -warnings. If I continue to EIG, it will crash in EIG right after a UI + blue background instead of a neighborhood view.

Only one test, but the issue I had which I failed atleast 15 attempts finally worked after updating with the 11/1/12 CAW.
So I'm happy..... :evil: FOR NOW!!!!!

EDIT: Looks like thats bad, I think my version is way lower than yours. =/

No luck so far.
If you mean DCBackup + DCCache folders, then you really shouldn't delete those two.

This is mine and doesn't work.
I downloaded it and it worked. The lots were saved in edit in game mode but then I tried to continue my work and edit in game keeps crashing...
I hope you'll get new update soon, so you all can start making worlds again!
I think that's the next big problem. I'm starting to see people talk about that too.
