Default World description does not display in Main Menu after exporting world in CAW.
Hello,

I am editing Midnight Hollow in CAW. When I want to export Midnight Hollow including the world description and world name, the world name appears in main menu, but the world description does not, appearing blank. I can load into edited Midnight Hollow just fine and everything works. I've tried looking in S3PE in the _XML file where the localization is set to en-US. My game's localization is set to en-US so I don't think it is that. But, I looked at another custom world's _XML file and the <packagedesc> and <description> in the metatags show the world description is present, but mine does not contain the world description and displays the world name instead (Midnight Hollow). I tried to replace the world name with the world description in Notepad, but when I loaded the game back in, I got the same blank text in main menu. However, the <localizeddescription> does contain the world description. I'm not playing with any cc or mods and I have tried taking out the world description in CAW and saving again, then exporting. I have deleted the caches in The Sims 3 Folder and The Sims 3 Create A World Tool Folder, but that hasn't solved the issue.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I'll be thankful. 😅

Hi,

Did you change the world name and description to text instead of the file path, which is set as the default? If not, copy the world description from the Fandom page of sims wiki and paste it in the place of the file path.
