@raestacey With EA app your Sims 3 has a new directory.
1. You should "search your pc" for a Sims 3 pack, I used my newest one, ITF. ( The directory I found under programx86 is where I found CAW, but it was not the current directory for the Sims 3 with EA app.)
2.Right click to open file location. This file should have all of your Sims 3 EPs and SPs. ( My new directory is : This PC > Local Disk > Program Data > Origin > Local Content )
3. Copy and paste entire CAW file into the new directory.
4. Load Edit in Game.
IT WILL WORK! It's amazing, Dona_Neve in this thread, a few comments above this one, figured it out!
***Note: If you are 12th GEN and need the powershell script work around to play the Sims 3, you will need to launch the powershell before edit in game, but no changes need to be made to the script. If you don't know what I'm talking about, ignore this note :D
