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

Thank you, @KetaLiren for assisting us with this. When you say "CAW file", do you mean the entire CAW folder? I pasted my entire CAW folder into the new directory, so it sits beneath and alongside each expansion folder, and loaded my world-in-progress from this new location as well, but Edit In Game refuses to load.

The path I used was PC>x86>origin games>thesims3.

All of my expansions are found in this Origin games folder. The only two things I had in my ElectronicArts>The Sims 3 folder were Create a World (w/o my saved worlds) and one Expansion, University Life.

UPDATE: I've tried to paste the created world into both Create A World Folders; the one from Origin Games, and the one from Electronic Arts. The saved world loads, as per usual, but Edit in Game just forces the TheSims3 launcher to appear, nothing else.

I've probably got a few more minutes before the EA App inevitably crashes because "Something Unforeseen Went Wrong", so I'll keep trying until then.

I'm just miffed that EA is forcing us to use the darn EA app at all. I've tried for months just to get Sims 3 to properly download, and now that I'm editing my 3.5 gigabyte world file again I just wish everything WORKED like it used to.
No more editing registries, no more selecting a single processor to get the Launcher to work. I get Sims 3 is an older game, but it should not be this difficult to get up and running, and CAW should not be having as much trouble as it is.
EA is never going to fix this. They only care about their new, inferior Sims products, and their buggy launcher. Sigh. At least my game runs now.
