I have the NON-Steam version of the game. I actually bought the game on disc the day it came out, but it was converted to the "go social" version through some Origin process.

Goodness, no, I am NOT trying to edit a finished world; I know better than that. I made a world a couple of years ago, so I'm familiar with the old version of CAW. I stopped working in CAW for a couple of years due to other interests, and when I came back to it, I found that the new, Origin-flavored version wouldn't let me use EIG.
(My account says that I'm a newbie, but I used to be active back in the Sims 1 days; I guess they purge old accounts that haven't been used for awhile. Rest assured that I've been simming for quite some time. :-D)

Yes, I've tried making a world, and it works fine except for the Edit in Game part. Origin comes up and then the launcher, but the launcher only lets me play completed worlds, it doesn't let me do EIG in CAW.
Could someone post a screenshot of what the launcher looks like when it's launching Edit in Game properly? That might help me figure out what's going wrong...
Thanks!
