Create-A-World Tips, Tricks, and Annoyances
Zazazu:
There are a couple of possible causes I know of. For one, have you checked to see if sims are getting stuck anywhere? Especially if you've placed rabbit holes close to the edges of lots, or on uneven ground, you can have sims get stuck and this will cause lag spikes and skips.
Do you have Late Night? I don't, but I'd heard that people have had issues with lag spikes as the game is trying to assign celebrity sims but not doing so successfully.
Claeric:
Make absolutely sure that you "rebuild routing data" before testing, too. Even a tiny change can cause a big routing issue if you don't make sure to do it.
Mekare:
All the rabbit holes are in the middle of town, and there's no slopes in the map at all except for 1 hill and the edges, it's definately slopes. I do have late night, and the only Celebrities are the goths, so that might be it. Does Late Night have a celebrity quota I need to fill? It doesn't make much sense though since maps like sunset valley and twinbrook still operate just fine without celebrities.
I didn't even notice the rebuild routing data option until just now... so I'll give that a try too.
ETA: Well I went over my map with a fine tooth comb, and I may have found the culprit. I turned on the view routing data tool and found 1 discrepancy where the sea level was a little too high and "invisible water" was blocking the way for any sims to get to the beach. I'm hoping by squishing this I'll have a working map.
Thank you both! ^_^

After some annoying attempts to save different versions of the same world for export (for example different versions with stuff from only base game/expansions ect) I figured out how to do it. As this was not easy obtained info anywhere I am posting it here: Save a copy of the world in caw, name it anything, lets say Riverview-Redux. Close the world. Open with s3pe. Delete resource called WPID. Save, close. Open again with CAW, save again - of course with name, description and pic for the export. Close file. Export. Install. Rinse and repeat for as many copies of the world as you want.
Rolfy:
CAW... Okay, so I finally finished building my world and saved it. But then it would not export, so I created another save with a different name and saved that, and it still would not export. I keep getting the dialog box "world failed to export" or whatever. So I copied my files to another location and re-installed CAW. Then when I restored my old files to CAW it would not work AT ALL, I get the Could Not Load File Error.... If anyone has any light to shed on this, it would be very, very appreciated. ???
PS: We all know that CAW crashes constantly, even more often with Late Night, so I'm not sure if any of my saved files got corrupted, but I have several different save versions, and none of them work, so just thought I'd mention that.
PS2: I was browsing\googling around and found someone else with the exact same problem as me (hopeless carrot) none of the responses solved the problem, So that's a little more info. http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=422463
