FLSTRider dropping in to say hello

Just wanted to pop in and say hello to everyone. I don't know how many of you remember my Falconcrest world thread falconcrest Thread but as I said in that thread I was taking the world into the Unreal Engine and after what seems like forever I am still not even close to half way done. Unreal is a HUGE learning curve. I thought those that wondered how that world is going I would add a few pics and reintroduce my "Worlds Thread" to everyone flstriders worlds thread 

I also have been going through my old computer and am thinking about dusting off CAW again but have heard that it is not working with the new EA launcher. Anyone able to give me any information about this

  • Hi FLSTRider​ , how great to read you, it's been a while!! The pictures of 'Falconcrest' imported into Unreal Engine look awesome. I checked out Unreal ages ago but had no chance getting to grips with it at all 🙃

    CAW itself works okay and the EA App has no negative effect on exporting worlds but I'm afraid EIG is completely messed up. So you can still create lite worlds but can't add builds in CAW.
    There seems to be a couple of workarounds that people have tried but for me the only successful way was to install TS3 via my old disks and only patch to 1.67 as that will bypass the EA App then EIG responds as it should. You will also need to make sure that you have the right version of CAW.
    Hope that helps ...it would be great to see a new FLSTRider world! 😀

  • I am on a 1.67 install, having completely boycotted the EA app, and CAW works great for me. I can use EIG just fine. The only requirement is that I have a separate The Sims 3 folder dedicated to CAW with only the base game, all expansions, and all stuff packs. Occasionally, I will add a store item or two for a specific purpose. However, if all the store content is installed, it will not load EIG, and may not load CAW at all.

  • Hi FLSTRider​ , so good to see you here. Your pictures look awesome. I had never even heard of Unreal until today, haha. Good luck if you decide to get back into CAW.
