Overview

This Windows utility restores the Edit in Game function in The Sims 3 Create a World Tool when using game patch 1.69 through the EA App.

The original CAW tool sends its Edit-in-Game launch information through Origin. Since Origin was replaced by the EA App, clicking File > Edit in Game may only open the regular Sims 3 Launcher, launch incorrectly, or return control to CAW before the game has finished loading.

This fix patches the installed CAW executable so that Edit in Game launches and is monitored correctly again.

What this fixes

• Launches the installed TS3.exe directly with CAW's original Edit-in-Game arguments.
• Bypasses the obsolete Origin launch request.
• Allows time for the EA App authorization handoff.
• Monitors the actual Sims 3 process instead of the temporary startup process.
• Keeps CAW's Render Panel disabled while The Sims 3 is running.
• Reloads the world and restores the camera after The Sims 3 closes.
• Supports both standard CAW and SuperCAW 1.69.

Compatibility

This fix is intended only for:

• The Sims 3 version 1.69 through the EA App
• Create a World Tool version 1.22.10.024037
• The original CAW.exe supplied with that CAW version
• The SuperCAW 1.69 WorldBuilderCS.exe released by kapaer

No expansion or stuff packs are required.

This fix is not intended for The Sims 3 patch 1.67, Steam installations, macOS, or older versions of Create a World.
