I’m gonna have to pick up a pre-2012 disc in order to make CAW work. ~sigh~. But I’m longing to get back into CAW again.
CAW needs a disk? Good to know. I don't even have a CD player on my current gaming laptop, so I would also need to factor that into the price of using CAW.
Yeah because ever since EA decided to get rid of the Origin app and replaced it the EA app, people can't get CAW to work with the new app. People can still use CAW to create worlds with but I think the problem is with the 'Edit in game' that world creators are having a problem with not being able to use that option.
This is what I've found in another thread where someone posted what happens when they to use EIG.

The Create a World program is working fine but due to the new EA app the Edit In Game mode is not responding any longer. If you click on EIG the app greets you with the message 'The Sims 3 is already running. Go ahead and start playing. It's a good one!' or just redirects straight to the launcher which means the game will open as normal but not in CAW like it used to do with Origin.
Changes to a world in progress and adding builds in CAW is now impossible. This obviously makes the usually fun world building experience very frustrating :'(
If you can find a game disk that is a pre-2012 disk, you can buy an external CD drive to install the game on your laptop. I've just brought me a new PC desktop last year that doesn't have a CD drive in it but was able to get an external CD drive to have so when I do want to use it, I can. I got for the sole purpose of installing my TS3 game with it but then chose to do digital install instead but it's still good to have just in case I ever decide to uninstall the digital version and install all of my disk.
