Base game, taken from Default.ini :

GameVersion = 1.29.55.014002
CompatVersion = 14
WorldBuilderCompatibilityVersion = 11

LN:

GameVersion = 6.5.1.011031
CompatVersion = 11
WorldBuilderCompatibilityVersion = 8

CAW:

GameVersion = 1.13.7.014037
CompatVersion = 14
WorldBuilderCompatibilityVersion = 11

I don't know how can I further update LN.

And by 'Effects' in metadate I mean :


With older CAW versions 'Efekty' doesn't have '+' next to them and I can't use them.

The figures I've highlighted with an arrow are the relevant ones- your LN version does not match the CAW and Basegame version. So it could be why the patch is failing.

You cannot update LN any further- the limitation is that EA have not released versions of CAW for people who do not have all of the latest EPs.

To try to get around this you could edit the LN default.ini manually, so that the versions read as follows:
CompatVersion = 14
WorldBuilderCompatibilityVersion = 11
Not sure if that would work, but it's worth a try since some people have had success with making CAW work that way. Of course I could be completely wrong, but it's the only anomaly I can see between your game and mine, so it's worth a try!

I'm running into the same errors as mentioned earlier. I went through and found all my version numbers and compat numbers. Seems I have been running my CAW with completely mismatched version numbers. I figured it was running slow and being stupid was because of my computer, which only has 1GB of RAM. It might have been version mismatch instead. You learn so much by reading. I am currently going through patching all the games I have. I'm only missing Pets, Town Life, and Master Suite. I'll post my findings when I have completed the process

Ok I got the latest patches for all the EP's and my two SP's

However, I still do not have matching World Tool Compatability versions across the board, and thus still get the same errors. But there are no more patches/updates....

Basegame: GameVersion = 1.29.55.014001

CompatVersion = 11
WorldBuilderCompatibilityVersion = 8

OL: GameVersion = 7.3.2.011037
CompatVersion = 11
WorldBuilderCompatibilityVersion = 8

I can't find any newer patches listed at http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title...elp:Patch_Table and am at this point even more confused than ever- am I overlooking something else now?

Edit:
Tried renaming/editing the .INI files for everything. Didn't work, still several files red and can't merge/compile/whatnot.

Beyond excellent...thanks out to atavera and simsample for providing this. Good, clean install for me on win7 x64.

Baka , your numbers are the top ones while mine are the bottom ones . You might be a little over updated or I 'm really out of date. I was able to get the special caw patch to work without a single problem. My computers is running a 64 bit version of windows 7.

I can poke here as much, as I can say I have same patch versions as Baka - so I'm suggesting that on her case it might be something else than a patching issue. Ouer seems to have few EP's that are not patched to latest that they have, but he has the "super" caw working.

It's really really looking like the patches for EP's aren't the problem then- unless there IS some middle ground in patching that needs to be reached, not the latest... all in all though I'd guess that if other people are making it run without everything at same compatibility, that isn't the problem at all.

Has anyone gotten it working with something other than Win7 64bit as OS?

I have the Spanish tutorial written, you can find it here: http://createaworld.foroactivo.net/...a-que-aparezcan

Thank you for all

I couldn't get it to work on Vista, 32 bit either. Might be because I do not have Pets but who knows. Guess I'll stick to the other methods of getting water planes and objects from other worlds. Maybe when I get my new laptop I can try again. Anyways, thanks for the tutorial. I'll be back eventually.

To those having problems patching: what version does it say inside CAW(not the one in the INI, but when you click About>Version... in CAW).

Mine says 0.430.0.696

The Sims 3 Create a World Tool – Beta
Copyright 2009 Electronic Arts, Inc. All rights reserved.
Version: 0.430.0.696

Thank you all for the information!

Can I please ask you all a favour, in order to make it easier for atavera to collect information, could you please list the following information (I would like this from people who can make this work as well as from those who cannot make it work, for comparison).

Eps and Sps installed, with the SKUversions and regions. You can copy this figure from the game install default.ini for each EP/SP- for example C:\Program Files(x86) \Electronic Arts \The Sims 3 \Game \Bin\ Defailt.ini.
So for me, this is:
Basegame: GameVersion = 1.29.55.014002
WA: GameVersion = 2.17.2.011032
HELS: GameVersion = 3.13.1.011031
Amb: GameVersion = 4.10.1.011031
FLS: GameVersion = 5.8.1.011031
LN: GameVersion = 6.5.1.011031
OLS: GameVersion = 7.3.2.011031
Gen: GameVersion = 8.0.152.011001
TLS: GameVersion = 9.0.73.012001
Pets: GameVersion = 10.0.96.013001
MSS: GameVersion = 11.0.84.014001

CAW SKUVersion. You can copy this from the Default.ini in the CAW Game install files- for example, C:\Program Files(x86) \Electronic Arts \The Sims 3 Create a World Tool\ Default.ini.
So for me, this is:
CAW: GameVersion = 1.13.7.014037

CAW version from About>Version in CAW.
So for me, this is:
Version: 0.430.0.696

Operating System (you can get this info from right clicking on 'Computer' or 'My Computer' and selecting 'Properties'):
So for me, this is:
Windows 7 Ultimate, 64bit. Service Pack 1.

Also (for those people who cannot make this patch work), it may be useful if you could attach a screenshot of the error you are getting to the post.

Please also state whether the patch does or does not work for you! Thank you Inge!

I know many of you have posted all of this information before, but if you could please collate it onto one post it would be a lot easier to interpret. If you think the post looks too long, you can hide the information inside an infobutton:


Thank you all in advance, and thanks for testing!

[Double post so that I didn't get the information above confused!]



Thank you very much, Nilxis!

I will add a link in the first post, and in the Wiki article. Much appreciated!

Here are mine, copy pasted from desired locations, all though I could have just used the full copypaste from simsample and edit out the SPs (I -was- lazy and just opened your post for edit and took all the text, just replaced with my versions ^^)



Simsample edit: The patch works for this user.

Thanks Armiel, that was quick!

Can I just suggest something - if people would include in their stats whether they are one of the people for whom it is working, or is not working, ( ie - "works with these stats" or "doesn't work with these stats") would save going back up the thread to see whether they said so in another post.

Thanks Inge, good idea- I amended my post.

The modification process for CAW is NOT working for me.

Here's everything in the one post:

Microsoft Windows XP Professional, ver 2002, service pack 3


Because it does not even debug, I have not actually tried opening CAW with it actually, since I would assume that the programs saying nothing could be changed/merged/debugged/patched would make that kind of pointless...

Thanks Bakafox!

Finns are always fast (whether that is a good or a bad thing). And thanks for editing my post, I was busy elsewhere so did not see request to add "worky/no worky" on the post but just now.

Kimi's certainly been fast in Jerez testing!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/16932283
Although Webber was faster today.

Hehe, I forgot to specify about whether it worked or not until Inge reminded me, so I just tagged it in to make it easier for atavera.

The patch works for me






On a side note-I've been using The Sims 3 Patch Downloader to help keep everything in sync.
I've also had no error messages during my game installs, not sure that it matters...

Alrighty. Here goes.

This did not work for this user. I even went to the patches information on the wiki. As all I could find was the Super Patcher and the other one listed above it, I downloaded the Super Patcher and applied that to my game. It told me I was already patched to that for the Base Game but I went ahead and did it anyway. From what I have read throughout this thread, patch versions may not be the issue. Either way, I could not find any other patches for the individual SPs and EPs as it seems they are not independent anymore, at least from what I understand. Here is all my information. Error Screen caps are attached below. Simsample, please check your PMs. Thanks
