riccifacce I'm not sure what the issue is here. CAW not working with Steam is a known problem, but it's fixable with a registry edit:

What error are you getting though? I can't imagine a proper install from either Steam or the EA App would be missing some files that CAW needs since CAW doesn't need anything other than the game itself. But the error message might be misleading.
And of course it needs to be noted that there are two versions of CAW, one that works with patch 1.67 (disc and Steam installs) and another for patch 1.69 (EA App installs). So if you originally downloaded the 1.67 version and subsequently tried to use it with your EA App install, maybe that's the issue.
puzzlezaddict Thanks for the quick reply!
The error I have consistently received is: "This product requires an installed copy of The Sims(TM) 3. Please install The Sims(TM) 3 before installing this product."
I found the problem just now. Somehow the GameData files were... in a different folder from the rest of the Sims 3 files? I have no idea how that happened (it's probably because I am bad at things lol), but it's letting me install it now from the EA version. So, I suppose problem solved, because I didn't actually know what the problem was.
