This user has the following games installed:
Sims 3, World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, Seasons, University Life, Island Paradise
New Sims 3 installation "A serious error has occurred loading "Name.world""
Okay, I get the message "A serious error has occurred loading "Name.world"". every time I try to load my game. This is a new game. There is no save file. This happened after I had my computer sent out for repairs. I reinstalled several times. I removed the files from the electronic arts folder so the game would make new ones. I unchecked the "read only" box. I cleaned the registry. I reset my entire computer to factory conditions. I tried with and without CC. I got it to work when I deleted anything with the word "cache" in the sims 3 folder. The problem was it only worked until I ran the game and it made more cache files. I could settle for deleting caches every time I play, but I would need to know which cache deletes my installed worlds. If someone could tell me that, or what to do to fix the problem in general, I would really appreciate it.
