I really hope there is a way around this! We latecomers want to play, too!ДЄuntielynds, well done on the edit, I hope that solves it for some folks. I purchased Sims late last year as a bundle with Seasons from Amazon. If I uninstall Origin and try to run the game I get an error that says: 'Origin is required to play this game'.' Origin is installed first without asking me whether I want it or not. It's not an option for me like it is for most people.

I know I can't install the games (I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice) without installing Origin. I'm wondering whether the new base game bundles have some sort of new DRM on them. My base game was purchased in December as a bundle with Seasons. I just had a moment of clarity, rereading the MTS thread you linked to. Meanwhile, I am attempting to make available more storage space on my hard drive to free up more room for all these programs to work. you can just open it up in a text editor, then you save it with the extension. It is easy to work with batch files if I'm remembering correctly.

Edit in Game should work with a download of the original (non-'Go Social') base game. You can Direct Download it from Origin, just like the 'Go Social' version. This is the cover art that does not say 'Go Social' on it.

The only solution I have found was to get a second license of the base game predating Showtime. This, so far as my experience goes and others having this problem, does not allow you to use Edit in Game. If you are getting stuck at the Launcher, you may have the 'Go Social' (post-Showtime) version of the Base Game. You may need to reinstall Origin to do this. If you are getting stuck at the Origin login, try changing your Origin preferences. Any more ideas? Should I try reinstalling AGAIN? I would be HUGELY grateful for any solution or work around for this! And so would a bunch of other people who are in the same boat. Are there any other work arounds? At the very least, is there a way to take modifications done in game and somehow export them to a world file for CAW? I really want to be able to build a world working between Edit In Game and CAW.

I am totally at a loss as to how to fix this. I drag my test.world file to the batch file, drop it, and the launcher pops up and stays there. The batch file by zaide_chris at MTS seems like just the kind of answer I need, but it just does the same thing. The default.ini file of CAW and TS3 are both CompatVersion = 22, WorldBuilderCompatibilityVersion = 19, with the game versions 1.37 and 1.17 respectively. so mods, CC, store content, caches, these aren't the issues. I just did a clean reinstall from base game up through IP, with a fresh install of the newly updated CAW, fresh reinstall of Origin, thoroughly cleaning out my registry before reinstalling and working with a fresh Documents/EA/TheSims3 folder. This problem seems like it is often due to a version mismatch, and maybe that is true for some, but I have all EPs. Over at MTS there are several others posting the same issue. I have searched these threads and MTS for solutions and followed all that seemed reasonable, to no avail.

I test it out with the simplest world possible and still nothing happens. I can leave it for hours and hours and nothing happens. It is definitely not a matter of waiting around. When I click Edit in Game, it swiftly opens up the Launcher, and it stays there. I do all the necessary steps that I know to correctly export a world, doing routing etc. I can export worlds and load them, but this does not allow me to build a world with lots and sims added. This is a longstanding issue for me, not being able to open Edit In Game. Hey awesome CAW creators, I need some help!
