I have just verified, That after getting E12s and E13s, you can save without problems when you go on vacation. The game will utilize the cache for the destination selected.
I definitely do NOT recommend doing this. This worked for my wife, but when I tried it, it somehow saved a corrupted Riverview without crashing, appearing to work properly. Then when returning from vacation, it would CTD every single time. Since it saved properly on vacation, it also backed up the corrupted Riverview over my last good backup forcing me to use a 3-day old Windows Shadow Copy backup. Had it not been for the fact that I leave my computer running for hours, I wouldn't have had any backups at all and would have had to start over from scratch - losing the last 6 months of progress.
Moral of the story is you're taking a HUGE risk trying to get past E12/13 by sending them on vacation and saving there. It may work, or it may irreparably grenade your town.

I keep getting a CTD randomly while just playing. I can save just fine, but it seems like after a few minutes, the game crashes for no apparent reason, and I'm on XP. :P
My sims were just standing around talking to each other and wump! CTD. It's getting annoying. I thought maybe the new patch would help, but it hasn't.

The only time I was getting random CTD in WA was, I believe, due to a custom hair. Been playing with out CTD's then suddenly was getting them. Realized I had put back in a couple custom hairs around the time the CTD started. I've been feeding my CC back in a bit at a time to catch crap like this. Took out one of them - an Abby pooklet'ed hair from GOS. Kept getting CTD's. Put Abby's hair back in and took out the file with Dreadlocks and Braided Ponytail, also from GOS but the name of the creator escapes me. Haven't had a CTD since. I was using the Dreads and Braided hairs before WA without problems. *shrug* I give up on anything making sense anymore with this EP.

I am very suspicious of the custom hairs. I will do some testing, taking them out - some of them also look really weird after installing the expansion. They did something to the heads of the sims, me thinks.

Interesting, mine worked. The mysteries of the Error 12 never ceases.
I did however had some interesting findings when I installed the updated Awesomemod (11/28 build I think) After returning from Vacation I had a CTD at 1am ( didn't know at the time that it was an issue on that build) So I tried using Nukeimpostors and I got 38 sims out of 1 household impostors and also with Destorycorruptsims, I got my first corrupt sim. Checking the town inhabitants I noticed that the corrupt and impostor sims are the same sims that the vanilla WA game also deleted. I don't know yet if there is a relation or just a coincidence.

I remember that the first Custom Hair by peggy did have an issue with CTD. I believe it has to do with the polycounts. perhaps the dreadlock and braided ponytail uses more resources than what your machine can which results to CTD. With WA, perhaps there are additional items in your neighborhood which added with the dreadlocks causes your game to crash.
