World won't save after tweaks
This is the greatest CAW forum. I've learned everything I know about creating my own world- some valuable information, tips and help - just by reading. However, I did not find my problem so far. I bet the answer is in deed here - I've just not found it yet. I like editing premade worlds (for my own playing pleasure of course) tweaking it here and there. I don't like meteor and willow the wisp spawners so I find them in the layers wherever they exist and delete them. But in this particular world that I'm working on - when I delete these items and try to save, the world fails to save and I get a list of about 6 or 7 errors. When this happens I can no longer open the world file in CAW ever again. The backup world file seems to be "corrupt" as well. I have to start all over with a fresh Test world file and import and all that from scratch. Over time I have downloaded several premade worlds trying to find just the right one - tweaked it and successfully exported it so I've run into just about every problem and error there is and managed to fix it. I want to conquer this one too. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Lets see, I'll throw out a few things I might try.
I'm running out of thoughts now. I'll try the last one , just pm me a link to to the original world download.
Do a "save as" instead of a save.
Clean the global layer first, then do your deletions.
Go into EIG first, then editing
Do your editing, then go into EIG
Have some one else try and see if they get the same results
I'm running out of thoughts now. I'll try the last one , just pm me a link to to the original world download.

Thank you Auntie!! I knew either you or Simsample would help.
I was thinking there may be some bad lots so I deleted a few empty lots and attempted to "save as" at this posting. The world has been "saving" for nearly an hour now. I don't think i'ts going to.....lol....
I read the tutorial on cleaning the global layer but I was going to do that when I was done tweaking just before I export ......I'll rethink that.
But next - I'm going into EIG and edit. The word file size is 113,513 kb (!!) So I'm going in to try to reduce it. I didn't know it was that big. It really doesn't appear that big. Must be the trees.....Idk.....I'll be back.

Well "saving as" worked in CAW. I also went to EIG and bulldozed 3 lots and then saved. That initial save took well over an hour for me but saves after that took only about 10 minutes - bulldozing a few lots at a time. I'm moving along vey nicely now with the file size whittled down to 64k (almost all lots gone). Thanks again for your help.
