Did you remember to use the uncracked TSLHost.dll too?

My game was also crashing to desktop when I tried to create or load a game. (I have a retail copy of the base game, but an Arr'd copy of WA.) Replacing my cracked WA .exe with the original (and using Awesomemod to bypass the CD) also fixed my crash-to-desktop issue.

Editing the Resource.cfg file and moving the contents of the DCCache into the mods folder worked for all my downloaded content (purchased or otherwise), with the exception of Riverview. I tried copying the contents, so it was in both locations as Simsample suggested, but it made no difference. I then installed Riverview via the Launcher, and though it said it installed properly, it is not in the drop-down menu for town templates.

I have not tried downloading Riverview from the exchange, and probably won't bother. If I can get the CAW to work, I don't need their templates anyway, I guess.

Hmm, I can't seem to be able to place a cross-section of road. I'll select it and only a regular road appears. Ugh. And are terrain paints *supposed* to look so choppy? Can't seem to figure out how to soften the edges.

     And is it just me, or is CAW running slow or taking a toll on anyone else's CPUs? Seriously, my computer has been able to handle most everything so far, but I load up the create-a-world tool, and the thing starts humming as loudly as can be. Not to mention switching between tools or windows in CAW seems to take forever, gives the appearance of freezing for 15 seconds or so. Surely that program can't require higher specs than TS3 itself....!

This worked.  Fixed my crash to desktop when loading a saved game/new game.

I.Am.She, did you try that?  You have to run the game through the .exe, and not the patcher this way.

I hope this shitty crash gets away soon! Btw, I attached the dump file if it going to help.

i've been playing ts3 since it was released and it NEVER crashed, then when this latest updated was released, i installed it, my game crashes every time i try to load my family! it just crashes without any error messages and just goes to the desktop... i tried everything! i even tried reinstalling the game,removing my ccs.. still nothing worked! please! i am SO STRESSED with this game, pls do something about it!!!!!!!!!!

Before I moved AM, it crashed at the first one. After I moved AM, it crashed at loading a saved game

Edit: Also when I run the launcher, it says cant connect to EADM although I connected to the Internet

I just patched my base game and WA. Unfortunately, my game crashed to desktop in main loading screen. I moved AM from directory and the game is able to go through loading a family and it crashed again. I try to move all mods and run the game without CC but no luck. Is there any fix for this?

I iz stupid whatever face I pull!!  But no that is the delectable Drew Barrymore!  We wuvs her lots and lots!

Seriously, we are a couple and we post on the net as a couple so you never know which you are talking to.  Not that there's a lot of difference, we're both stupid!

OWWWW!!  *Gets hit around the head by wife who doesn't agree with above generalisation!*

Thanks, I was just about to uninstall and reinstall - you've just saved me that nightmare 

I've got my game running with a cracked .exe for convenience.

But, like always, I forgot to backup 

Has anyone got the original WA tslhost.exe and TS3EP.exe so I can update?

Toddler's body no longer deforms when "Watching TV" after "Learning to Talk."

What the eff EA!?

Wasn't this fixed in a patch for TS2 though? Damn, looks like they'll be issuing about five patches before the next EP at this rate.
