I think the issue that you are having is not your PC being new but with the new EA app as others have complained about not be able to use CAW after being forced to switch from Origin to the EA app. There is a thread over on the AHQ site that others have posted in.

@EA_Cade has posted over in this thread about EA looking into it but can't make any promises on whether they can get it to work.

As another forum member has suggested to sticking with the disk installs on all of their Sims 3 games providing that you have an older disc version of TS3 that wasn't from 2012 as that is the one that tied TS3 to the Origin app. And as for anyone playing TS3 from Steam, I'm not sure if they are having issues with the CAW tool because if they aren't, then maybe you might need to buy the base game and all of the packs from Steam.
Hope this helps... :)
