What's going on is that EA app can't find CAW EIG to launch it.
Under EA app there is a new place that it launches the Sims 3/ Medieval / CAW EIG from. I HAD to search my PC to find everywhere my Sims 3 was installed. You MUST search your PC to find them.
1. Open File Explorer
2. Click on 'This PC'
3. In the search bar in the upper righthand corner of file explorer type in 'Sims 3', after a time it will bring up everywhere 'The Sims 3' is installed on your computer in a short list.
4. Two 'Sims 3' files should show up. One of those is in your old directory, one of them is in your new directory. If you right click on 'The Sims 3' on this list of located 'Sims 3' files you will see an option in the pop-up menu to 'Open File Location'
5. Open file location to "The Sims 3" If this directory houses CAW it is your OLD directory. COPY the 'CAW' file and press the back arrow in the upper left hand corner to bring up your "Sims 3" file locations again. Where you were in Step 4. (Or search your PC again)
6. Right click on the second 'Sims 3' file and open that file location. All of your EP's and SP's should be there as well as other games you play on EA app.
7. Paste "CAW' into this new directory.
8. It will work. If it doesn't you probably didn't find you new directory. I HAD to use these steps to find the new directory.
I will reword this as many times as I need to. I truly hope it works for you.
This fix worked for me for a hot minute but now it doesn't... I wonder if the latest EA App update did something to make it stop working?
