I'm finding that 'edit in game' is running very slow. To the point it took me about 7 minutes to place a couple of tables and chairs in the non-rabbithole portion of my diner. I haven't used CAW in a while, and am just getting back to creating Avian Valley, but I don't remember it being so slow before the patch.
It has always been slow as molasses. The more your world grows and the more detail you add to it; the slower it gets. One of the things I do to work around this is to create all lots in the actual game, rather than CAW's game mode. Then I package them up and I only have to go into CAW game mode long enough to set the lot down. If you are working with custom shapes, creating a tiny world with no detail, just a few lots that match your needs would be helpful just for building purposes. If the custom shape also includes odd terrain shape, (like on a cliff) this method won't work as it will cause problems to set a flat lot onto a cliff.

Ok, so I tried placing some of the pre-made lots in edit in game mode, only to find at least one white box on each lot. I figured it was something non problematic, so I placed one, but when I went to delete the box, it was labeled "Should not appear in game" and wouldn't let me delete it. Needless to say, I quit without saving. Also, now that I think about it, they only seemed to appear in front of staircases.
Does anyone have any idea what these boxes are?

I answered this one over here.

Deleting, and replacing them worked! Thank you. Here is an update on Avian Valley:
One thing to note about my neighborhood, is that most rabbit holes will have an accessible extension! (Usually, but not always a basement.) For example the mausoleum will have a tomb underneath. The diner, a WA style restaurant. The bookstore, an actual WA bookstore underneath, etc.

When you visit lots sticking into the water, their textures DO fix themselves in map view, but they will always look terrible in sim view. You should make sure no lots are sticking into the water the way yours are.
