The original thread was here; not much is left now I'm afraid. CAW and Sims 3 version mismatch work around explained Please first follow all steps in this guide (regarding removal of custom content and clearing caches.

This should work in all cases where your game is newer then your CAW version (that is to say after a new patch), but isn't likely to work when you don't have the latest EP or SP (see below). This condition will usually result in the following error: STEP 0 Be sure that you are using a CAW version that is compatible with your game version; if you have the latest EP or SP then it is likely you want the lastest CAW: Download it from the EA Site at this link. I haven't used CAW since I began with the Sims 3, but decided to start tonight. Upon looking at the version when I opened CAW I was a bit concerned that it might not be the right one for Pets, so I started looking around, and was lead to this thread. When I opened both of my default ini files they said 'CompatVersion = 13 WorldBuilderCompatibilityVersion = 10'. I'm assuming this means that CAW has already been updated for Pets, as I have it installed, and everything matches up.

Now I get to figure out how to use CAW, and eventually I might learn to make some CC of my own. I've been playing the Sims since the beginning, and using lots of custom stuff all along, but am anxious to learn how to do some of this stuff on my own. Thank you again! I've already tested this one out yesterday and it didn't work: the start up screen flashed before it shut down without giving an error message. I've already tried running the application as administrator (didn't work) and changing the DEP (didn't work either). I'm going to try to make the application Large Adress Aware and see if that works.

Hope it will! Edit: So I made it LLA and it didn't work. As a last resort I tried the fix given on this thread and it still doesn't work for me! I don't know why it doesn't work because before I updated to 1.26 - then to 1.29 - it worked pretty well. I'm wondering though if the latest version available is really the one I should get as I don't have Pets. Won't CAW try to find Pets objects in my game folders?

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?:blink.

Katie Turner- Are you on Windows 7, Vista or XP? 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 And install it. Then patch WA- use this patch: And apply it.

After that, uninstall CAW, clear your browser caches and download the latest CAW version, which should work. 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.:):D:D:D:rofl::rofl::rofl: 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.' :blink::wtf::faceslap: THIS IS SQUARE ONE AGAIN:cry: base game version: 1.8.25 World Adventure Version: 2.3.33 Create a world version: 1.5.126:help::help.

CAW and the game cannot run at the same time. There's no WA folder in the User Documents path. Only Program Files. Is this your first time trying to use CAW and installing it? I mean, CAW has never been installed and run on this machine before?

How much RAM memory do you have? Perhaps we need to look at your specs. Game Help:System Specs And WA is the only expansion you have, yes? Have you done a FULL and clean Uninstall + Reinstall since all this started (the link is in the Wiki's Patching series - the header with the link 'If all else fails'? I haven't been following your issues.Why aren't you patched up to 1.29, I mean?

What's the reasoning behind staying on an outdated patch 1.8/2.3? Because you thought CAW 1.13.7 on base game patch 1.29 doesn't work on your machine? And now it turns out WA's install has issues? If that is the case, then a full Uninstall and reinstall of all games (yes, again) is the only cure. You already have a post deleted and merged, that means we discourage double posting. Don't make the Edit button feel neglected.;). The game wasn't on I don't know why it did that.

It was there before. No I've used it before, what started this, was a virus over a year ago. We cleaned most stuff out. I have, ambitions, late night. Fast lane, generations an pets. But WA is the only one in.(the others were gifts, I played them to not be ungrateful, but all they did was cause more issues) I was told to try 1.5.126 first but that I would need 1.8/2.3.

Define full uninstall, I've already done it nearly 10 times in two days. I don't know how much RAM memory I have, and no offence you should go back look at my other post.(it's alot easier then trying to explain) This NOT my computer, it's my mother's and including myself there is six users on it. So I have to be careful with what I do. And yes I know about the multi-posting, I keep forgetting where I leave off. Sims should come with the warning: may cause stress and the urge to use the game as a frisbee and or smash your computer. @ellacharm3d- Katie is trying to get CAW running with only WA, and it seems that she will need to have a very old game version and CAW version to do that. The current version of CAW requires the latest EPs.

She has done an uninstall and reinstall so that we can get to this older patch version. Not sure if it will work, but we are trying!:lol: @Katie Turner- the links in the first post are to older complete versions of CAW, not just patches. So, you were correct to uninstall the new version of CAW and then install 1.5.126 from the link in the first post.:) As you are getting this error: NOW try checking for version mismatch as in the first post. SO, you need to go to C: Program Files Electronic Arts The Sims 3 World Adventures Game Bin and open Default.ini with notepad.

Then, go to C: Program Files Electronic Arts The Sims 3 Create a World Tool and open Default.ini with notepad. Check the CompatVersion and WorldBuilderCompatibilityVersion as in step 6 of the first post. Telcordia sr 332 handbook 2. They should match in both default.ini files. Do they match? If not then change the WA one to match the CAW one. Then save it and close all files. Does it work?

@Ella- If you look at the table on the first page, to use CAW with only WA Kiritra found that you need to have basegame 1.8.25, WA 2.3.33 and CAW 1.5.126. However, for Katie it seems that this is not working!:( We know definitely though that you can't have 1.11.10 CAW without Generations, and so the latest CAW definitely needs later than WA. Katie Turner- If you are still getting errors with no version mismatch then the only thing we can try is the next version, 1.6.72. For that you need this patch for the basegame: And this patch for WA: And then this patch for CAW. Note- this is a patch; so do not uninstall CAW, just extract it and run it as you do for the game patches! This is the only time EA ever released a patch instead of an updated version of CAW. After that, again check for a version mismatch and correct it if there is one.

Then, test CAW but test with a fresh set of user files. By that I mean drag Documents Electronic Arts The Sims 3 Create A World Tool to the desktop before you run it. If that fails then I'm out of suggestions; I would advise you to buy the latest SP and patch fully, then use the latest version of CAW!

Okay, I'm going to try to show you how to find this information yourself, instead of me having to find all the links (as it takes a lot of time!) Look in the table in first post; for Ambitions you need basegame 1.15.34; Ambitions4.3.4; CAW 1.9.16. So go to our Patch Archive page- the link is HERE (but you could also find it by clicking Help Sims 3 Installation FAQs at the top of this page. Then go to basegame patches.

Your current patch level is at 1.11.7 and we know your games are region 1, so you need to look for a patch to take you from 1.11.7 to 1.15.34. So look in the archive and find a region 1 patch for that, then download it and install it.

Now go back to the patch archive page and look in Ambitions patches. We know from looking at the MTS Patch table (that the unpatched version of Ambitions is version 4.0.87, so we need a patch to take you from 4.0.87 to 4.3.4. So look on the Ambitions patch archive page for a Region 1 patch for that (assuming that your Ambitions disk is also region 1; please check that first). Then download that patch and install it. Remember though that we need to also patch WA as you have that installed too- look at the patch table again and you will see that the equivalent gameversion for WA for basegame 1.15.34 is 2.10.5. So you need a patch for WA to take you from 2.6.11 to 2.10.5. So look in the patch archive, go to the WA page and find a region 1 patch to do that, download it and install it.

Now, you are ready to download CAW. So uninstall your old version of CAW, then download 1.9.16 from the link in the table on the first page. (The link is actually broken; give me a few minutes to fix that. If it doesn't work at first, try later).

Then install that, and test. Now you know how I found the link, you can find them for yourself, so that you don't need someone to keep showing you.:).

:new::help: Hello, As of Feburary 20, 2012 These are my game versions. Launcher Version 10.0.96.014017 EP & SP Versions Base 1.17 World Adventures 2.17.2.011037 High End Loft Stuff 3.13.1.011037 Ambitions 4.10.1.011037 Fast Lane Stuff 5.8.1.011037 Late Night 6.5.1.011037 Outdoor Living Stuff 7.3.2.011037 Generations 8.0.152.011017 Town Life Stuff 9.0.73.012017 Pets 10.0.96.013017 I have no clue what my CAW version is. How do I find it? I can say that I redownloaded it 2 days ago from The Sims 3 offficial site. And since I've read they update their link with the newest version as they put out new EP's & SP's. I assume it's their newest, perhaps for Master Suite? What is the version # for it?

I do NOT have Master Suite, however I DO have every previous EP & SP released. I have had the same problems with CAW as many others. The 1st time it would not work, was over a year ago. At that time, it stated incompatible. I assume it was due to me not having Fast Lane at that time, but did have the next EP & SP after FL. I eventually bought FL & did uninstall & reinstall CAW from the offical site & still the same result. I had also uninstalled & reinstalled all EP's & SP's in order along with their updates/patches after each EP & SP.

As well as the Super Patch. 2 days ago, I downloaded it again & still have issues with it. I currently have no plans to buy Master Suite, however I may buy it when I buy Showtime next month. Until then I would still like to figure out why CAW won't work for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!:) P.S.

CAW pop up with. The Sims 3 Create A Wolrd Tool-Beta has crashed. Exception Information Attempted to read or write protected Memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.:wtf: P.S.S. I am the only Administrator & only person with access on MY Windows 7 pc.:rolleyes: Edit Apparently I need CAW version 1.13.7. Is that the one listed on The Sims 3 Official site?

If it is, I have it, but still have the above pop up when I try to use CAW. Edit #2 I also get this pop up. The Sims 3 Create A World Tool-Beta has failed to shut down properly. Please end The Sims 3 Create A World Tool-Beta task using the Windows Task Manager. Edit #3 ( Last one, I PROMISE):) I hovered my mouse pointer over the new CAW WorldTool Setup.exe I downloaded & installed 2 days ago.

It says File Version 15.0.0.498 Too new for my current EP/SP????:blink. Not knocking Kiritra's earlier work on this as the issue did exist once, but I think EA made some changes to fix it since then. I did some testing with the following combinations and didn't need to edit the Default.ini at all!

Not knocking Kiritra's earlier work on this as the issue did exist once, but I think EA made some changes to fix it since then. I did some testing with the following combinations and didn't need to edit the Default.ini at all! @ ellacharm3d I have come to the same conclusion.

I tried everything else here & elsewhere. Either those methods didn't apply to my issue or didn't work.I am completely patched & up to date on all EP's, SP's, Base, & Launcher. I had the newest download from The Sims 3 official site, which I believed to be too new for me. And 1.11.12 was too old. So I downloaded 1.13.7. It works where the others would not.

I can not load a map to create a new world. Says the maps are not a png. I am going to try this as well ( )& that's why I downloaded the 1.13.7 because you can only do it with 1.13.7. Maybe that will fix something. Does anyone know about the png problem??:blink.

Does anyone know about the png problem?? What png problem? Do you mean you cannot load any HeightMaps? The defaults ones or custom ones? Should I put everything in and try the super patcher?You have never updated using the SuperPatcher to know how the process goes? Or you don't know where to locate the link to the current SuperPatcher 1.29 exe?

Simsample's walkthrough on how to find things for yourself so you can do it for the next patch and the next after that, is also still too confusing? Have you read the PatchTable Wiki page at all and the other pages in the whole series on Patching wiki? If you're just asking if you should patch to current 1.29 - then yes absolutely.

Which is what puzzled me before on why you haven't, remember? You have never updated using the SuperPatcher to know how the process goes? Or you don't know where to locate the link to the current SuperPatcher 1.29 exe? Simsample's walkthrough on how to find things for yourself so you can do it for the next patch and the next after that, is also still too confusing? Have you read the PatchTable Wiki page at all and the other pages in the whole series on Patching wiki? If you're just asking if you should patch to current 1.29 - then yes absolutely.

Which is what puzzled me before on why you haven't, remember? I have trouble understanding certain things I read.

I've read every blasted page i can find. 1.29 is what nearly destroyed my game I put it in and sense then I can't play, like I said before E. I have to be careful as I go, cause if anything happens to this computer. I'll probably be grounded til I die:blink:. So I'm trying to do this the safest/easy way without breaking anything. You really should post in Game Help (as we've already established the subject of this thread is not your issue. From what I've read from your other postings you had a symptom where the game screen went black and then you had a crash - that is an indication of driver issues.

If the game cannot start, CAW won't either. But, you cannot proceed with things as they are currently, as your files are probably messed up. That's why the need to do a FULL Uninstall first and then we can start on a clean slate. If you post in Help forums, we can do as much hand-holding as you need without going off-topic in this thread as the Help thread is essentially a place dedicated to helping you alone. Also, we can only go so far in providing links and stuff for you to read. If you don't want to read or don't understand what you read, quote the section or the sentence (not the whole page) and point out which sentence you don't understand so we can elaborate for you further, or find other laymen terms to explain it in. Just saying 'you don't understand' or 'everything is confusing' just tells us that you're not interested to troubleshoot, so in turn, why should the helpers bother (especially when our games are not broken)?

We can go as slow as you need to, thus why in Help thread and not here, OK? So, what's the next step?

Read the Uninstall FAQ again, and then follow along until you get stuck. When you do get stuck, tell us the sentence that you got stuck at and what you've done up to that point, in the Game Help Forum section. Start your own thread and be as comprehensive as possible. And we'll proceed from there. Since you're using a shared family PC, all the more reason to read everything multiple times until you understand. And again if you don't understand, Ask!

- ps: how to 'quote'? Put the text in between the quote tags like this: (quote)Here she comes round the mountain.(quote) with instead of ( ) or if you go into the Advance Editing window (click on the Go Advance button at the bottom of the Quick Reply box), you can select the text you want to quote and then click on the button from the toolbar. Ok just to be sure my versions are right Base game:1.01 World Adventures:2.17.2.011031 Ambitions:4.10.1.011031 Late Night:6.5.1.011031 Generations:8.0.152.011001 Create a World:1.37 I do NOT have: Pets or 'any' Stuff packs in Are they correct?

And I don't know if this is the problem but I noticed when looking for my versions including CAW have: CompatVersion = 11 WorldBuilderCompatibilityVersion = 8 Except Base Game: CompatVersion = 14 WorldBuilderCompatibilityVersion = 11 Could that be the issue? Ellacharm3d- thanks for the testing, I appreciate it! Did you also test EIG mode with each configuration?

One of the problems with certain versions was that EIG was either inaccessible, or unstable, or had saving problems. Katie Turner did patch to 1.29, but it would not work for her which was why we tried older CAW versions.

Simm374- The png problem seems to indicate a corrupt CAW install, the only solutions I've seen to this are to remove CAW, clear any remaining registry keys or files, and reinstall cleanly. Katie Turner- Yes, as Ella said, you need to have your game working to have CAW working. It would have saved us a lot of time if you had mentioned that the game did not run!:D I know that the information you are being given is confusing and that there is a lot of it, but we have written our tutorials and guidelines based on a lot of years helping people and answering questions, so you have to do a lot of the work yourself by reading what we link you to and following instructions. Unfortunately, we can't come to your house and do it for you (if you want me to do that, it's £50 per hour and I'll fix your car, your plumbing and your roof too if you need it!) so you have to try things out yourself.:). 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.:)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 PatchTable 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:PatchTable.

If workaround needed for CAW, it would have the superscript as indicated. I think I've sorted it, CAW now works, but the actual game is now playing up, I've sorted out the CC and mods, some of the CC still isn't working how it used to before the update, but it still functions. But when I come to save and end the game it started saving and never finished. I left it about half an hour but when I came back it still said it was saving so I forced it to close withouot saving. But CAW now works, I now need to get used to it and sort out the actual game. Thanks for the help getting CAW working.

Alright, I have all of the below stuff, but not the Showtime expansion (yet), and not the Master Suite, Katy Perry, or Diesel stuff packs. Getting the same message as before, about the version being off. So, which files do I need to modify? Hi LadyGreenEyes649, yes- you need to make sure each EP and SP is fully patched, as CAW seems to sometimes have problems with unpatched EPs (although this should not be a problem for playing Sims 3). Check out the Patch table for the links to download the patches: Game Help:Patch Table If you click the 2011 'more info' button you will see the links to the last EP patches (as the later patches are only for the basegame). So try those first and see if that works for you.:) Will check that then, thanks!

Figured it was a patch issue. Well, at least till I get the new expansion. Will post if this works or not. You're a treasure.:beer.

Alright, checked the chart, updated all that weren't (World Adventures, and three of the four stuff packs), and all should be up to date, but I still get the error. Tried the newest CAW, reinstalled, but no good. Any other ideas?

Is this when I have to edit the world versions or something? Hi All, i'm having problems running CAW. I've had problems for a long time now but I've put it to one side and just played other peoples pre made hoods but I'd rather like to get back to building my own.

When I try to save (or any point really) i get the 'The Sims 3 Create a World has crashed - Attempted to read or write protected memory.yada yada'. It won't run for more than 5 mins before it crashes. I've read various threads about CAW issues and they all seem to be pretty old apart from this one, so I guess most peoples are running properly now and I'm the slow coach of the simming world:-). I've checked my patches for all my games (I have every game installed apart from Katy Perry and Diesel) and they are all up to date, my default ini.

Files are all the same, so I don't think it's that either. GameVersion = 1.18.3.017037 CompatVersion = 17 WorldBuilderCompatibilityVersion = 14 GameVersion = 1.02 CompatVersion = 17 WorldBuilderCompatibilityVersion = 14 I'm really stuck as to what it is. I hadn't tried CAW since installing Showtime and when I launched it two days ago it said it wasn't compatible so I uninstalled it and redownloaded from the sims 3 site and thought 'Yay!' It might actually work now.but no, still no joy, I loaded the Sv lite world, tried 'save as' and it crashed again.I'm running 64bit and from what i've read LAA crashes are caused running 32bit, so I'm sat here scratching my head. Could someone help? Don't triple-post, please use the EDIT button if no one has responded on the thread. So are both the game and CAW, CC free at this time?

Everything is on vanilla settings, when you've worked through the FAQs and suggestions? That may mean it is the hardware and access controls looks like. What Operating System, CPU, how much RAM and what GPU do you have? If you produce a DxDiag report, just copying those 4 lines would be sufficient, the lines with those models and information, not the whole report. Game Help:System Specs Oh, and this is the first time running CAW on this machine, ever? So, no way to compare if it had worked on earlier patch versions, I mean? It didn't work and I REALLY want to start on my world now, annoys me:( Now what happened was that after I did everything with the compatibility and copying and pasting, it said I had to save the notefiles.

So I tried to overwrite the old, uncompatible default file with the new as following the toturial. When I answered 'yes' to the overwriting, a message sayin': 'access denied' or such(I have an norwegian PC and a norwegian game, basically it said 'ingen tilgang' which means about that). What did I do wrong? Why does it deny me access to overwrite the friggin' file?:/ Would be great with fast answers, It's getting on my nerves:/ - Layla PS: Maybe you'll need some info about my PC to check out the problem.:!: The system it runs is Windows 7, it's a Toshiba Laptop. This is the three lines in the 'default' file of CAW: GameVersion = 1.18.3.017037 CompatVersion = 17 WorldBuilderCompatibilityVersion = 14 And this is the default file lines from TS3: GameVersion = 1.38.151.018002 CompatVersion = 18 WorldBuilderCompatibilityVersion = 15 Now I edited this like it was said in toturial, but it wouldn't save, so this is the current state of the files.:help: - Layla.

@LenaShan and Wolfbandit- the problem is that EA have not released the updated CAW for gameversion 1.38. They usually take a few days after a patch to get a new version out, but someone on the Sims 3 forums mentioned that EA may be on vacation until Tuesday (I don't know if that's accurate or not).

So you'll just have to wait until the new version is released- there is no way to tell from the download page, but if you look on the Sims 3 site CAW forum you'll get a good idea of when it's updated by the posts there (you'll see 10001 posts complaining that CAW doesn't work until they do update!). There is no way to make the old version of CAW work with gameversion 1.38- this trick will not work for that. I have searched (I feel) the whole wide web for a solution to my problem - Your game is not compatible with this version of blah blah blah Create-a-World.

I uninstalled, reinstalled, uninstalled, reinstalled forever, days on end, but no. (Bear in mind that I even installed Windows via Bootcamp on my NEW MacBook Pro JUST for the CAW!) And somehow, I found info on CompatVersion and WorldBuilderCompatibilityVersion and checked. Both Diesel stuff and CAW was the same, but it still wouldn't work. But nobody had had THAT problem. Everybody else got their compatibilityproblem fixed. (sons of.).

So, in friggin desperacy, I checked the default file on Sims 3 base game. And, seeing it was different from CAW and Diesel, I changed it so they'd all match. AND IT WORKS!!!!!! I am bloody serious. I thought I was hallucinating, but it actually works. I will now be titled the queen of CAW-fix.

But for all of those who, like me, want to send a seriously harsh letter to EA for this troubly-but-awesome-program, try it. PS: I registered on modthesims.info just to say this. Now I'll play God.:king: PPS: I tried to upload a photo just to prove it, but I couldn't be bothered searching for how to prtscrn on Windows on Mac. @LenaShan and Wolfbandit, If you cannot save the edited Default.ini directly from withing Notepad into the Program Files path, means you're getting blocked by UAC. Save it to Desktop or elsewhere and then, move and replace the original copy (already backed up I hope) with this edited version. This workaround still works, I was just using it the past few days, when I can't hold off patching to 1.38 anymore as I need to see the differences before I install SuperNatural. But, by the time you read this, 1.19 is available.:).

I came here to post my opinion about the CAW. I downloaded the latest file version 1.18.3.170037 and rewrite the last two lines of the file on 'Default' in accordance with the final version of my Sims 3: CompatVersion = 18 WorldBuilderCompatibilityVersion = 15 (last updated 1.39) Previously, I had tried to start the CAW, but without success, but after 'upgrade' the Default, lol, I'm usually working on it!!!
