EDIT2: I feel blind... I saw the Create a World sticky, it was very helpful! I got the program to work again, SO please ignore ^-^ haha >3>

I tried browsing the web in search of answers for my problem but i can never find one that is exactly like mine.
Well the issue is CAW crashes now. I had installed it and it worked [somewhat] perfectly - it may have crashed once or twice, or was slow, kinda glitched sometimes- but then today after i had edited my world in game, then saved and exited the program [Btw, i save in game and also save in the CAW program].
After i went on a CC rampage and installed over 200 files [haha :D ], i tried opening CAW and I got this message:
"Please select a valid texture file: Must be a square with a power of 2 resolution (i.e. 256x256, 1024x1024)."
So I click ok, but theres no option to select a valid texture... then up comes this:
"Unable to load file. 'C:\Users\Jeff\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims
3 Create A World Tool\UserToolData\Worlds\Kaaaaaa Island Unfinished.world':
Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown."

I tried opening one of my backups and the same thing happened.
Then after a few minutes of opening and closing i just got the "Please select valid texture" message over and over.
I then restarted my computer and CAW wont open at all, it crashes on start up. I uninstalled then reinstalled and it still crashes upon start up.

Sorry if this is long. I like to be specific with my issue.
I'm going to try taking out some CC and see what happens. Hope to get some replies.

EDIT: I have all the EP's
and i also have 2 of the stuff packs[but that prolly doesn't matter]
I have the latest patch as well
