Far as I can see something could be wrong with coding? Sorry I'm not the person to ask I'm only good at senery and foliage NOT animals.
Delete the files from dulpdate so it at least stopps crashing.

Hmm, I had this too, when I started designing.  But I am not too sure anymore of how I solved it.  This is one thing I do:

you have the description panel in Ape.  There you have to fill everything in.  After you save.  Save it again then.  In the summary, you can fill in a short sentence (for the time being).

I know my game crashed when I didn't fill everything in, the same way, mousing over panel.

Okay well...
I change the tooltip, usally wrote loooooong descriptions for the animals, and change the name and phrase no crashing. One time I made an animal to picky and it kept getting taken away, though.

You did change the English description?  You have to fill in everything and re-save.  If you save it the first time, it doesn't work.

Other then that, I could only think of the uca file.  Did you change anything in the uca file?

Tigeress_10, it happens when I don't change anything in the description, tooltip lines.  Just leave it like it is, then save it, then load it ingame, then the game crashes.

Make them SHORT tooltips.
And the description size doen't matter.
