the only other thing I can think of is. There was a thread on here (Answers HQ) were someone could not log into the CAW. They had tried everything also. I am going to copy and paste what they did to fix their problem: (I have no idea if this would pertain to you or not - but its worth a try):
This is from the thread http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/Can-t-log-in-to-download-CAW/m-p/6102121#M223129
with thesims1depot fix for their log in issue
"I figured out what happened, and you'll never believe what caused all this!
I did a little searching at my ISP's forums and learned about something I had never heard of before, something super obscure called a "BOGON list." Apparently, when my router got knocked offline Saturday, I got a brand new IP address when it reconnected. But it was put on this list. To fix the issue, I had to power off my router for a few hours and then turn it back on to get a new IP address. Well, as of this morning, everything is back to normal. I am able to log into the site and download CAW and everything.
Here is the thread I found that talks about all this: https://forums.verizon.com/t5/Fios-Internet/Verizon-FIOS-blocks-some-sites-Can-you-see-these-sites/t... "

If you have this problem now it seems to disappear after you delete the overwatch mod file.

@flward Can you log into Origin? Can you log into thesims3.com site using the same login and password for Origin? What version of Windows are you using?

@EA_Kristi wrote:@hpoole14 Just to confirm, did you get a chance to test out the steps below:
- Open Internet Explorer 11 (not Edge)
- Go to Tools - Internet options - Advanced
- Select 'Reset' and check the box 'Delete personal Settings'
- Restart IE
Thanks!

I don't know if you still need help but I was able to log in once I looked at my information security settings and realized that the program I use (F-secure) was blocking my access. Hope this helped someone.

@JazzyDeadpool Did you also clear Internet Explorer's cache? How to do so is already described above, in post #66. Even if you never use IE, the TS3 launcher does for some purposes. Be sure to uncheck the box to preserve data for favorites.
If you're still having trouble, you can try dragging your entire TS3 folder out of Documents and onto your desktop. Then launch the game and try logging in again. A clean folder will have spawned with no content and no record of your login credentials. If you can now login, you can transfer your saves and other content from the old folder to the new one.
