@simmerLella The fine print on the back of the disc should have a copyright date, and 2011 and older means no mandatory Origin tie-in. The newer discs also have an Origin logo on them.

I've had this issue since the EA app launched (Create A World Tool worked fine, but Edit in Game did not), as of yesterday I got it up and running again. I posted how I solved the issues here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Sims3/s/MDecWzpGjb
Hope it helps some people, I have been so frustrated and heartbroken that EiG stopped working, especially since I just had gotten into making worlds and was really excited about it.

Hello,
I see lots of forums on this subj that are hit or miss and I am at a dead end. Is there a workaround for CAW to edit in game via the EA App? It goes to the sims 3 launcher but when I click play it opens the regular game to the menu and then crashes when I exit. This is very like an EA App issue but I am wondering if anyone has any workarounds?
ive moved the Sims Create a World around to various spots to try and prevent this from happening but no joy

As far as I can tell there's no current workaround, since they've done away with Origin. And EA is never going to fix this. They don't care that we can't play a game we spent hundreds of dollars on, because they already have our hundreds of dollars.
