I'm not sure if this really falls into the category of The Sims 3, as it is an external program. However it is official by EA, so they would be responsible for this problem. Over the course of the last few months, I've been building a world in the Sims 3 create-a-world tool. However, due to the EA app and fully patching off Origin, it is now impossible for me to edit my town ingame. This means I won't be able to edit any lots. Is there a way to get it to work again? I've been very passionate about the project, and I don't want it to be put to a stop just because of disgusting promotion of a new app.

    @Rockhopper2020 Unfortunately, there is no way to use EIG with EA App unless EA releases an official fix.

    If you own disk versions of the game (with a 2009/2010 version of the base game; you can check the year on the disk), or if you get the game on Steam (packs are currently on sale), CAW for those versions should be able to run in EIG mode. I understand that switching versions is not something you might have wanted, but right now that is the only way to use EIG.
