If using the Create-A-World is crucial to you, then by all means avoid updating to the latest patch (1.17/2.12/3.8/4.5/5.2) or installing The Sims 3 Late Night. Word is coming in that CAW does not work, giving the same errors as users got when they installed The Sims 3 Ambitions. There is no telling when The Sims Team will update CAW or even issue a patch for it, so the best bet is to hold off until then.

This was fixed, possibly right away. You just have to uninstall CAW and download the latest from the site. (You might not even have to uninstall…)
The latest version is 1.10.09, while the previous was 1.9.16.
LefthandedGeek and Jonny – thanks guys! I was not aware of this. Now I need to get that updated. Yes, they should have made an announcement for that!
Yes. EA released a patch for it yesterday. Re-downloading the tool seems to do the job. I think EA should actually announce the update on the site rather than silently updating the installer.
The Ford Fiesta set was updated 🙂 http://store.thesims3.com/fiesta?intcmp=eaint505&sourceid=eaom695
Now has the 2011 Fiesta Hatchback and Sedan .
Jud it OK It was in the installer, it said this is required for CAW to work but you had to download a new CAW first
Ahhhhh….I’ve yet to install the new patch, thats why. I have to reinstall all my games again – got hit with the 0.0.0.0 game launcher bug with the last patch. Thanks, Riley.
Can you tell me the link on where EA has the patch so the game can work… Mine keeps crashing 2 seconds into game play.
What is the CAW, I’m so new to this stuff. Where would I download that?
What’s the patch i need for installing Late night?? the last thing i ever installed to my game was ambitions after that no other updates or patches.
I’d really love some help.
I can’t download that patch ..
Because i can’t even open the start window.
Does anybody know if i can download the patch anywhere else?
What I need to know is if you have a world in progress going in caw, and you uninstall caw (having backed up the world of course) and then install the latest patch and caw, will your backed up world be compatible with the new version of CAW?
Joyce, Jud always post a thread with all links for all regions when a new patch comes out. Take a look back.
I wonder why EA didn’t announced this, people should not guess that it needs to be updated, one that develops the software must warn their users of it’s incompatibility.
Next time we know, new patch new CAW.
I wonder why I have CAW if I never use it. Ha-ha… Anyway. 😛
It crashes a lot.and it’s made my custom towns’ sky turn red! some kind of bug.
This is no link from the above threads….
