CAW and SuperCAW EA App Edit in Game Fix V1.2 (Patch 1.69)

Basic Download and Install Instructions:

1. Download: Click the download link to save the .rar or .zip file(s) to your computer.

2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file.

3. Requirements

• Windows
• The Sims 3 version 1.69 through the EA App
• Create a World Tool version 1.22.10
• Stock CAW, SuperCAW 1.69, or both

Installation

1. Download the zip file and extract the entire folder. Do not run the installer from inside the ZIP.
2. Close Create a World, SuperCAW, The Sims 3, and The Sims 3 Launcher.
3. Open the extracted folder and double-click Install.cmd.
4. Accept the Windows administrator/UAC prompt.
5. Wait for the window to display:
CAW EA App Edit-in-Game Fix V1.X.X is installed.
6. Press any key to close the installer.

The installer automatically locates your CAW installation. It verifies each executable before making changes and creates a backup beside every patched file with the extension:

.ea-app-eig-backup

If both CAW.exe and the SuperCAW WorldBuilderCS.exe are installed, both will be patched.

The version 1.1.1 download contains the same EIG Fix 1 executables with an updated installation checker and support tool.

Checking the installation

1. Make sure the entire zip has been extracted.
2. Open the extracted folder.
3. Double-click Check Fix.cmd.
4. Review the assessment shown in the window.
5. A copy of the report will be saved as SuperCAW-EIG-Diagnostics.txt.

Fix Check does not require administrator access and does not modify CAW.

The report identifies:

• Whether CAW.exe and WorldBuilderCS.exe contain the current fix.
• Whether the installer backups are valid.
• Whether CAW, The Sims 3, and the EA App were detected.
• Relevant running processes.
• Basic information about the newest Sims 3 crash report, when available.

The report does not upload anything and omits usernames, computer names, personal paths, and crash call stacks.

Important: Do not run Check Fix.cmd from inside the zip or copy it without Check-Fix.ps1. If its required files are missing, Fix Check will display instructions to extract the complete folder.

Testing the fix

1. Start CAW or SuperCAW normally.
2. Open and save a world.
3. Select File > Edit in Game.
4. The Sims 3 should launch directly instead of stopping at the launcher.
5. CAW's editing surface should remain disabled while the game is running.
6. Exit The Sims 3 normally. CAW should reload the world and become usable again.

Uninstalling

1. Close CAW, SuperCAW, The Sims 3, and The Sims 3 Launcher.
2. Double-click Uninstall.cmd.
3. Accept the administrator prompt.

The uninstaller restores the verified backups created during installation.

If CAW is not detected

Open PowerShell inside the extracted folder and run the following command, replacing the example path with your CAW installation directory:



The installation checker accepts the same manual directory option:



If the installer reports an unsupported SHA-256 hash, your executable is a different or previously modified version. It will be left unchanged. Do not attempt to force the patch onto an unsupported file.
