CAW won't start on Win10
Couldn't CAW to save my butt, but kept trying until windows 10 when it would briefly show the start screen then shut down with no message. New computer, (PC) figured why not? So installed CAW. Won...

@Vgrace573 The way you describe the crash (or closing out, no crash, as the case may be), it sounds like what would happen if your antivirus/firewall was blocking CAW. It would be weird for it to flag CAW but not TS3 itself, unless you've set an exception for the game. I don't actually know what the .exe is for the 1.69 version of CAW; I have a Steam/1.67 install. You could find out easily enough though, and try setting an exception. Or just turn off your your av temporarily while you test.
If that doesn't help, you might ask on the official Sims forums. Some players there still use CAW, and while 1.69 isn't particularly popular, plenty of players do have Origin installs. Maybe someone else will have ideas.

I'm sorry I don't have any better ideas.
roberta591 and puzzlezaddict thank you both. I looked things over but my (admittedly ignorant) eyes didn't see a problem. Turned off everything on Defender that could be and Malwarebytes doesn't run in real time. Whole thing reminds me of my old original x-box. Wouldn't start a game at all for months then suddenly worked perfectly, then decided not to work again.
Be that as it may, my system works great for everything else including gameplay not just ts3 but some other truly finicky games that I won't mention here. (One has its own Netflix series coming up that I'm kinda jazzed about!) I may butt into a thread on the forums as I can't find the spot where they'll let me create a new one.
Thanks again for your time and attention. Have a good one!
