So in your case that would mean a backup and reinstall, as you are going to an older game version. cbenn- did you solve your problem?

Katie Turner Lab Assistant Join Date: Sep 2011 Posts: 80	to the patchs for base game and WA. cause I'm reinstalling again (I messed up somehow before) so i wanna get all base game things done before I put WA in) and every time I install it goes to 1.0.631.00001 and the only up date is 1.29. And WA goes to 2.6... And when I try to update from simsprogrmas.com It says " the installed version of the application could not be found the application will now terminate." if I don't put in WA what version of CAW would I need. And would CAW still include the WA options Am I missing something?

Simsample is half asleep Game Help:TS3 Patching:Patch Download/Archived^wiki As far as I know, the only version for non-WA was the first release-- and I don't know if a copy of that still exists. If you did not have WA installed you would not have the WA features in CAW, the same goes for all EPs and SPs.

And do I have to the patches in order?

LittleSquare Test Subject Join Date: Feb 2012 Posts: 7	I'm so angry. I've followed everything, tried downloading, installing, about seven/eight times now and it still doesn't work. I've looked everywhere, and I have all ep's apart from Ambitions, and no sps. My game is up to date and I don't think I need any patches. I'm at my wit's end trying to get CAW, but to no avail. Should I just give up?

19th Feb 2012, 01:02 AM	#59
Katie Turner Lab Assistant Join Date: Sep 2011 Posts: 80	Simsample. I know they are executables but the downloads folder is where everything goes the minute i click download and when I try to run it still says "The installed version of the application could not be found the application will now terminate."

Do you get an error message, or does CAW just not do anything? Katie Turner- Perhaps you are downloading the wrong locale? You need to download the correct patches for your region.

Can you tell me the full SKUversion of your WA install, including the region code? If your basegame is 1.0.631.00001 as mentioned earlier, then you need to install this patch to take you to 1.8.25.

Katie Turner Lab Assistant Join Date: Sep 2011 Posts: 80	don't worry image was put by accident. And what is a SKUversion. If you mean what it goes to when I put it in: 2.0.86002001. I haven't had a chance to put WA back in yet, I was waiting til this morning, should I put it in or do the patch first

simsample Original Poster 'Death, death, death' Until the sun cries morning Join Date: Feb 2005 Posts: 16,822 Thanks: 7862 in 83 Posts 18 Achievements View My Journal	You can do that basegame I linked to first, if you like. Assuming that your WA is the same region as your basegame, you would then need this patch for WA when you install it.

This sounds like something is blocking the patch (UAC perhaps). That's assuming you have your game installed to C:\ Program Files (x86)?

LittleSquare Test Subject Join Date: Feb 2012 Posts: 7	Simsample: My error message is: Your currently installed version of the game is not compatible with Create-A-World, etc, etc.. My game versions are: World Adventures: 2.0.86.002002 Late Night: 6.5.1011031 Generations: 8.0.152.011001 Pets: 10.0.96.013001 I'm pretty sure I've patched everything up fine, and I don't have any new updates. Any ideas to why I can't get CAW?

You need to have administrator priveleges to be able to install the patches. LittleSquare- What is your basegame version? Your World Adventures game is unpatched. Make sure your basegame is fully patched (version 1.29); if it is not then download the superpatcher here: Game Help:TS3 Patching:Patch Download/Current^wiki And install it. Then patch WA- use this patch: http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownload...1032_Update.exe And apply it. After that, uninstall CAW, clear your browser caches and download the latest CAW version, which should work.

Katie Turner Lab Assistant Join Date: Sep 2011 Posts: 80	anyway I re-installed CAW and tried to install patch 1.5.126. and it said: "The setup had detected 1.13.007 of The Sims 3 Create a World Tool-Beta is already installed. this setup installs an earlier version of The Sims 3 Create a World Tool-Beta (1.5.126 ) You will have to uninstall the previous version before installing this version." I downloaded CAW from the sims 3.com. So maybe I have to download it again from another place(so if you have the link, and to another version of 1.5126,) please

I know that the site only has the new version. But I had to download the thing itself first didn't I? and I got the link from where you said.

and that wasn't a very helpful

Katie Turner Lab Assistant Join Date: Sep 2011 Posts: 80	OK I unstalled CAW that I downloaded from the offical site, and just did through the 1.51.26? patch I need. right clicked run as admin....started working. suddenly it says CAW cannot run while sims 3 program is on please turn other programs off and try again. or something along those lines. I did, then computer froze and had to log off and back on. went to try CAW again and ... "The sims 3 game data was not found. The sims 3 Create a world Beta-tool may not function properly." and "The sims 3 Create a world Beta-tool has Crashed! Exception information: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt." THIS IS SQUARE ONE AGAIN base game version: 1.8.25 World Adventure Version: 2.3.33 Create a world version: 1.5.126
