![]() More in depth explanations and examples will be shown later. Here I will cover the basic tool mostly used in CAW. ![]() Now I can continue to use CAW with the 1.67 patch as usual.Starting CAW - first contact Starting CAW will open you a window with plenty to look at and wonder what is what. If something has been uninstalled, you should do it correctly, otherwise there is a risk of confusion. (The game didn't even uninstall properly, thanks EA ) Instead I imported the keys from the Origin version, which are useless since Sims 3 (Origin) was uninstalled. Omg thanks for the tip with the registry fix! Even though I had already applied the fix, I was a bit too stupid to find the right keys in the registry. Some people have said in the comments that it's not working, so I can't say for sure if it will, but it did work for most people in the past, so it's worth a try. CAW never worked with the Steam version of the game by default, so the registry fix has always been the workaround. The alternative is with the Steam install, trying the registry fix. That would involve you going back to an Origin install and making a few changes to a file. I'm going to hold out hope that it will, for now. The only reason I was so hopeful for alternative fixes is that I worry that at any point, it could stop working. One of them, I know works as it's what I'm using for now, which is the abovementioned fix on Reddit. Right now I'd say you have a few options. I've searched for several solutions but none of them worked. The Sims 3 Create a World tool - beta may not function properly." I get an error as soon as I try to run CAW: Until then everything works fine.īut with CAW there are still problems. Now I've decided to downgrade Sims 3 again by installing the Steam version and uninstalling the EA app version. As previously described, CAW no longer works as it should with the current EA app. I own the Steam version of Sims 3 and am currently playing on version 1.69, which meant the game was running on Origin at the time, which is now the EA app. Only thing that worked for me was downloading Origin and entering the code in Origin xml file. Quote: Originally posted by EpicNumberONE I'd love to know if someone tries this and it works. I'm thinking that whatever behavior there that tells the launcher to close and go directly into EIG has somehow gotten mucked up with the EA App. I've been an Origin and CAW user for a very long time, and I've noticed that sometimes when opening EIG, the launcher opens in the background and closes itself before launching into EIG. Which makes me wonder.if you do this and try going to Edit in Game, it might bypass that launcher getting stuck because it won't even need to open in the first place. ![]() Their launcher has a "Bypass Launcher" option which when selected, the next time you click to start the game it will no longer open the launcher ever again until you force it open from the in-game options menu and disable the bypass setting. ![]() I have long held a theory, and I've tried to get this out to as many people as I can because I haven't switched yet and am unable to test it and would love to know if it works, that the Lazy Duchess launcher might be a possible workaround. You might have to reinstall from time to time (not sure ATM because I'm still testing this), so it's a temporary solution until this entire thing gets sorted out. I say this because it seems that whenever you close out Origin completely, it makes an incremental update and will keep doing so until you get the last one where you're asked to switch to EA App.ĮTA: I don't know how long this trick work, but it worked for me this morning. You might even want to leave the computer running overnight so you can have Origin still running in its current version. Just keep Origin open for that day regardless of whether you're at the computer or not. Once you successfully install, run it in Offline Mode.Īlso, don't update it, and don't close out Origin on a day when you want to spend a long session on worldbuilding. There's a temporary solution in case you're suddenly forced to switch: you can try rolling back to earlier versions of Origin, located here, preferably to one that came out earlier last year, maybe even earlier (like 2021, 2020). If you're a worldbuilder, you know this is is a disaster, because EIG doesn't work in EA App. PSA: To Continue Using CAW and EIG, Go Back to Older Versions of OriginĪs of yesterday, many players still on Origin and using it in offline mode were suddenly forced to switch to EA App. ![]()
