I'm not entirely sure I followed all your steps correctly, but the only way I could find my new directory was to search my pc for a Sims 3 pack that I own. I can't even follow my own directory path as it reads. I had to search my pc to find it again for this post! This new directory also has my Sims Medieval and my 3 Dragon Age games in it.
1. Search " The Sims 3 " or " Into the Future " or any pack you have in file explorer. Make sure " This PC " is selected when you search.
2. Wait for them to load, my pc always takes a bit.
3. You might have 2 or more places, for me Into the Future doesn't show up in my old directory so I use that one. Right click on the pack in file explorer after the search is done, then select open file location.
4. Make sure this is not the Programx86 location, but rather one that says 'Local Content'. It does not say 'Electronic Arts' but rather 'Origin' in the file directory (for me at least).
5. Move CAW folder into this directory. 'The Sims 3 Create a World' should sit between 'The Sims 3 Ambitions' and 'The Sims 3 Diesel Stuff' if you have them.
6. Test Edit in Game.
If this is exactly what you did and it didn't work, I'm so sorry I can't help more!!
