Sims 3 Create A World Download Not Working 2020

Hey there! 

I was having the same issue as yours, but I found the solution. When you click on the download button, press "Ctrl D" as the second tab is popping up. This might take a few tries, but it'll create a bookmark for the page that keeps closing. After you successfully bookmark the page, click on the bookmark and should begin downloading the Create A World tool. 

I hope this helps!

I had the same problem on my new desktop (I use Windows 10). To go around this I used Microsoft edge. I got a pop up that said it was not a secure download, but I allowed it anyway. When I tried on chrome it wouldn't even allow the download to pop up, and I didn't feel like changing my settings.

I just now had this same exact problem but i ended up using Microsoft Edge & in the corner it gave me a notice saying couldn’t be downloaded but i clicked the three little dots & then hit “Keep” & it installed like normal

How to get the CAW downloads working in 2024:

EA apparently messed up once again and now both of the links on the official site point to the same file for the 1.67 version of the game (if you can get them working at all). I managed to find/guess the correct links though:

CM Edit: Removed links

Hey @Juhannuspukki , where are you finding the links that give you the same 1.67 version? Is it through this link https://www.thesims3.com/game/tools/world ?

I would test it myself but whenever I click on download I'm just getting a blank popup unfortunately...

That's correct.

The download icons on that page are not links. They are in fact div elements that are programmed to be like buttons: they trigger a javascript function on click to start the download. On modern browsers this fails, but the download links are still clearly visible in page source if you right click the download button and choose "inspect" (this option is not by default visible on all browsers).
