The Sims 3 Create A World Game Data Not Found Error
If this is NOT the right place for this specific topic, then sorry. I cannot find a specific place for this. This is the best fitting area for this topic that I can find.

So basically what happened (or is happening) is that I installed The Sims 3 Create a World tool, because it really grabbed my attention. I tried to run it, and it came up with an error saying exactically this:

"The Sims 3 game data not found. The Sims 3 Create a World tool - beta may not function properly."

Then it closes. I have tried internet searches, but I have come up with no answers, so I have resorted to more desperate measures.

I really want to use the tool! But I can't because of this annoying error. Please! Someone help!

Do you have Ambitions? Ambitions broke CAW. Theoretically the new patch, plus the new version of CAW with a CAW patch has finally fixed it....

I am Ghost. My husband is sidneydoj. I post, he downloads, and I wanted to keep my post count.

What is your basegame version?

Have you downloaded the latest CAW from the EA site?

No I did not download it from the site, becuase I do not have an account there.

Here is all the info about my game version I found.

File Version: 0.2.0.128
DebugVersion: 2010-11-22-1441 (by codebuilder on SIMS-BUILD144)
File Version: 0.2.0.128
Internal Name: Sims3_Win32
Language: English (United States)
Origional File Name: Game_Win32.exe
Product Name: Sims 3
Product Version: 0.2.0.128
Special Build: Release

I really do not want to register on the EA account because I lost my game register code.

There is nothing to see here. Move along.

To find your game version, this is what you do:
http://www.simswiki.info/wiki.php?t...ind_Gameversion

If you are not fully patched then download the current patch for your region:
http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php...ownload/Current

Then download the latest version of CAW directly from the EA Site (they have the link in full view in the page source!):
http://llnw.thesims3.com/content/gl...w/worldtool.exe

Register your game anyway by finding the key from your registry:
http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php..._Key#The_Sims_3
You'll need it when you reinstall!

When you get CAW from a third party you don't know if you have the correct version for your game; the program has been updated several times.

If your game is installed you can get the registration key and register your game.

If you're referring to the Create A World tool, then that download is on the official Sims 3 website and is free with a registered game, and not to be redistributed. I can download it just fine, if you cannot then that means the problem is at your end. I will not be uploading it, nor will anyone else on this site.

Is there a download from another website other than the sims 3 website? I won't be able to get it because I forgot the password for my registered account and cannot re-use my serial code again

YasminBrat4711, the latest version is only on the EA servers, but you could try the direct download link:
http://llnw.thesims3.com/content/gl...w/worldtool.exe
That link is easily viewed in the source code of the CAW tool download page, so I don't see that EA can really object to people sharing it.

nice but i need help with my Sims 3 its v1.0.615 please how to update cause there is no patch Sims3_1.0.631_From_1.0.615.exe

That'll be because 1.0.615 is a pre-release build, which means you have a pirated copy. Get yourself a retail copy that you've paid for, and we might help you.
