Reason: re-categorizing!
This user has the following games installed:
Sims 3, World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, Seasons, University Life, Island Paradise, Into the Future
"CAW has experienced an error" - please help, I've tried everything!
I was able to use Create a World about a week ago, and then it stopped responding. It started doing that thing where the logo pops up for a second, then disappears and the program won't start. I used to get around this by selecting Run as Administrator, but that didn't work.
So I uninstalled and reinstalled CAW and tried again. This time the logo stayed up for a longer time, but then a popup appeared saying "Sims Create-a-World Beta has experienced an error". That's all it said. I followed all the instructions I could find for CAW start-up errors. I uninstalled and reinstalled. I ran as Administrator. I deleted CAW cache files. I deleted the cache files in my Sims 3 folder. I removed all mods and custom content. My game is patched. It's still having that pop-up.
At the moment I have Base Game, Ambitions, Late Night and Generations installed. I uninstalled my other games because they were taking up so much space. I cleaned the registry after uninstalling.
