CAW - create a world crash - other memory corrupt

[rajaawahbeh]

Heyy! I really, really need help here. 

create a world will not launch. I have bought the sims 3 base game from Origin (I don't own a disk) and have a couple of expansion packs from Origin too. 

I wanted to start creating my own world, but after downloading CAW for version 1.69 every time I try to open it it says: 

The Sims 3 Create A World Tool - Beta has crashed! 

Exception Information: 

Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. 

I read that many have this problem, but I couldn't find a solution and I really need this tool! I would really appreciate some help.

@rajaawahbeh  Please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

And just checking, but did you download the CAW version for Origin?  You want the one labeled as compatible with patch 1.69 here:

@puzzlezaddict That link won't let me download. When I click on the download button it just gives me a blank box.

@Musix1741  Are you signed into the site when trying to download?  If so, please try using a different browser.

Or you can use these direct download links:

1.67:  https://www.thesims3.com/content/global/downloads/caw/worldtool.exe

1.69:  https://www.thesims3.com/content/global/downloads/caw/ts3caw.exe

Once you got to this page

Did you log in? Or did you just agree to the TOS and click for the download? If you've not logged in it just gives you a blank box.
