Default Edit-in-game not working/running
Hello, the purpose of this post is to resolve the problem I'm facing, which is the EIG does nothing at all.
I clicked the EIG button and the CAW have this message: "Do you want to open TS3.exe" and i clicked ok.
The EIG never opened, but i still can use CAW as if I had not pressed the button at all.
Please help me to use the EIG in CAW. Solution is much appreciated.

Notes:
I have TS3W.exe, My TS3 is working on patch 1.67, have pets, generations, seasons and island paradise expansion pack installed.
CAW version is 0.2.0.197, downloaded from www.sims3createaworld.com
Please

Do you have the newer (Go Social!) or the older version of the base game?

I believe it is the older version, but was updated.

Okay, so then it's whole other problem. Hmm... you might have a better luck in the CAW section: http://www.modthesims.info/forumdisplay.php?f=616

I wonder if the Batch file would make any difference: http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=453161
Updated version up to EP10: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/po.../15/691109.page
Remember to always make backups first. Also, check that your game is fully updated, don't just trust the laucher if it says so. Many times it lies.

Helpful solutions in the CAW help thread also: http://www.modthesims.info/showthre...d=1#post3513489

Thanks, the batch file can make me go to EIG without CAW. So, thank you.

I had this issue, Many painful hours later of trying to talk to EA support (worst customer support EVERRRRR) and they had told me that older game and newer games do not make a difference. these are the things they said to do...
Back up any saves then remove them from your sims game and try it then
Clear all the cashe for game and try it then
Remove ALL mods and CC then try it
uninstall CAW then re-install, as it could of been corrupt during the original DL
if all else fails then....
Uninstall all your sims 3 and EP and re-install just the base game, try it then, if it works, install one EP at a time trying EIG after each EP is installed (I haven't tried the last one yet as had a problem with my laptop that i needed to fix but will be trying it tonight will let you know if it works)

This site has an old section for caw, you should go there instead: http://modthesims.info/forumdisplay.php?f=616

At the top there is a few sticky threads and some of them are about the same problem you have. If they don't work you might find someone searching in that forum, or just on google.

EA probably just expect everyone to have a fully patched game. If you don't you have to install the version for your game. Links should be provided somewhere on this site, but it's such a long time ago, and I've been fully patched since 1,67 first came out.
