"Cannot load world template file" on Mac

No known changes, all of a sudden I cant open a save or a Perfect Team instance. Game starts up fine but when I try to start the file I get these errors:

I've uninstalled and removed the deleted the OOTP Application Support folder twice and reinstalled, but running into this on every occasion.

If you have an uninstaller program of some kind, you might try that before reinstalling OOTP. When I had a problem on my Mac recently, I found that simply throwing away the app wasn't enough. Some files will remain embedded in your computer that you're not aware of, and they may cause whatever is corrupting your game from one install to the next.
