Ah, forgot to check that!

Mkay, then - pictorial confirmation of EIG working with BG 1.29 and CAW 1.13.7 only installed - per my setting last time. All is good and running!
I didn't test with addons. If needed, I'll do it next week after the upcoming patch, next addon and CAW version is out...

Ooh, good! Did it save okay, especially large worlds? I hope they've fixed this up!

Ella, should we close this thread altogether? Not much point having this, since general problems and patching/ updating are dealt with in the other thread.

Thanks for all the help, yeah I know I've just been trying not to break anything. but I'm giving up, I'll be out of school soon and won't have time anymore, so I'm gonna give my games to one of my brothers let them mess with it.

Thanks for trying though.

As discussed with simsample, we were gonna wait until the next patch before making any decisions on locking this thread.
But, since today's patch 1.31 arrived, and with CAW still not updated, this workaround is still needed. I'll be on the lookout for the next CAW version in the coming days until after Showtime is released...

The way I'm reading this situation is : as long as EA remembers to release a CAW version whose CompatVersion matches the patch's Level No (the Level Column in the Patch_Table Wiki), this workaround is not needed. But for the interim until such new CAW updates are released, this workaround is still applicable (I just tested with patch 1.31 (level 15) and CAW 1.13.7 (CompatVersion 14) - Default.ini needed tweaking).

So, in summary, how to know which situation applies? Read Game Help:Patch_Tablewiki. If workaround needed for CAW, it would have the superscript as indicated.

Hi. Followed all the steps and now both the two defaults say CompatVersion = 15 WorldBuilderCompatibilityVersion = 12
however the create a world tool still says that they are not compatable :S

The latest version of CAW needs basegame 1.31-1.33, so you need to patch that:
Game Help:TS3 Patching:Patch Download/Currentwiki
Read this first though:
Game Help:Issues with 1.3x Superpatcherwiki

Also LN, HELS, AMB, WA & FLS are unpatched, which in the past has caused problems with CAW. So you could patch those too, to avoid issues.

For me the "CAW and Sims 3 Version Mismatch Work-Around" has helped to a limited extent, as it now doesn't come up with any error messages. CAW now just appears briefly but will not load, I've tried "Run as administrator", but that just has the same effect of not loading. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think I have a version mis-match error, I've made the CAW executable Large Address Aware, I've got the corresponding patch level and I've removed in-game CC, I think I've cleared the caches as specified, I used The Sims 3 Dashboard. But it still only appears briefly before disappearing again. Is there anything else I could try not specified in the previously mentioned thread.

What are your game and CAW versions? Give me the numbers for all of your EPs, SPs, basegame and CAW.

Right, The basegame is 1.24.3, World Adventures is 2.0.86, Ambitions is 4.10.1, Late Night is 6.0.81 and CAW is 1.10.9.009037. I hope this will help.

The CAW is mismatched indeed. For base game 1.24, you need CAW 1.11.12.

Ok, thanks, I hope it will work with that version then.

I'm not so sure myself, so post back when you've tested. You may need TLS to use that version, as per the Patch Table.

If not, you may need to go back further to the LN 6.5 version (as this is the last pack you have), and the BG and CAW corresponding versions for that row. ie BG 1.22.9 and CAW 1.11.10

Why haven't you updated to CAW 1.16 and base game 1.33, may I know?

Well it didn't work with the CAW 1.11.12 as that took me back to the mis-matching versions error. With the newest game update, will that effect any CC.? It takes forever to download and update which is why I have been putting it off, The internet in my village can be incredibly slow, and that's just when it's working. Should I update my game as well?
