EA App: Sims 3 Create a World Edit in-game doesn't work

For some reason when I use edit mode to edit the world I'm editing in The Sims 3 Create a World Tool, the program doesn't launch the game correctly under EA Desktop. The game instead opens The Sims 3...

Hi ! I'm sorry you encountered this issue, but my error is a bit different... As I said, it seems that the CAW 3 won't launch because it doesn't recognize that I am the user who installed it. 🙂

Anybody tried downloading CAW in 2024? I found a link to download and install it but when I try to open CAW I get this error: Sims 3 CAW has crashed! Exception information: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
I am using the EA app but do have copies of all my discs. I'm suspecting that it's an EA problem? Wondering if I uninstalled and blocked the EA app, then reinstalled using only CD's, it might work?

  @65b52ed45f2ec52b I don't know whether this particular error would be resolved if you switched to an all-disc install. But I do know I don't see many posts about CAW not working aside from the known issue with Edit In-Game with the EA App version. So I would guess it's relatively stable.
  
  The other possibility is you've downloaded the wrong version of CAW. There's one for patch 1.67 (disc and Steam installs) and one for 1.69 (Origin/EA App installs), and neither works with the other type(s) of install.

    Thanks for your input. I did select the right version. I think I'm just too late to the party lol.
