EA App: Sims 3 Create a World Edit in-game doesn't work

[Dona_Neve]

Hey! So i managed to solve the error on my computer, the thing i did is:

- I saw what directory my The Sims 3 was installed on.

- I moved my CAW world files to the same directory it was installed.

- It worked!

I have been using Create a World since its release back in December 2009 and have created many worlds albeit not for over a year.

The problem is today I started a new world, added a layer and created a few lots then saved the new world. Secondly I chose to Edit-in-Game - the world closed and looked like the launcher was starting - however it is opening the launcher for the Sims 3 game and not the CAW program with this new world that I have started. The launcher sits there waiting for me to press and play (which I did DO!) only to find it is only my saved games.

I have tried restarting my computer, doing some computer maintenance (disk clean-up etc) but to no avail.

I have tried editing other worlds I have created and still have the CAW files and it still does the same thing - i.e. launches my Sims 3 game.

Is this unique to the EA app - I think it was the origin app I was using before.

Thank you in advance for anyone who can help.
