Default This method doesn't work fo me
Thank you for posting this. It doesn't seem to help me, however. I have downloaded the Superpatch from your link but when I try to install it I'm getting told I can't because "The Sims 3 is not installed". I have not done any custom installation of the game or anything like that, it has been installed the normal, default way, and I did turn off Origin and the game before I tried to install the patch.

I have seen somewhere that you can patch to an older patch by re-installing and patching up to the patch you want, but every time I re-install the game it is patched to patch 1.69 when I start the launcher - and this is regardless if I turn off automatic game updates in Origin or not.

Any advice someone?

Just after I wrote my request for help I checked Thesims3.com - and now they have two downloads for the CAW - one compatible with patch 1.67 and one for 1.69. I downloaded the one for patch 1.69 and it works. So sorry for a question that really wasn't needed.

Thanks guys! For the record, the direct download links are as follows:

1.67 Patch:
http://lvlt.thesims3.com//content/g...w/worldtool.exe

1.69 Patch:
http://lvlt.thesims3.com//content/g.../caw/ts3caw.exe

Get them and save a backup, you never know when EA will take them down!

I'm sorry to say I was a little quick to say that it "works". I downloaded the 1.69 version and it is very unstable, lot of crashes and when you try to use the Edit-in-Game function it doesn't seem to work, the CAW crashes and you get to the main menu instead of into some edit-mode.
