The Sims 3 Not installed?

I got the worldtool.exe to make a world. But when I try to install it I get a error message saying: This product requires a installed copy of The Sims 3. Please install The Sim 3 before installing this product. I already have The Sims 3 installed. I downloaded it through Steam with the Showtime expansion pack. How do I fix this?

    Hi,

    It sounds like the CAW tool does not support Steam versions of The Sims 3 games.

    You can transfer your Steam Sims 3 game registration codes over to Origin and redeem Origin digital download versions of those games at no cost. This is made possible through the Origin download manager client. After you have registered the games on the Sims3.com website, the products will automatically be redeemed in Origin. The latest version of the Origin client can be downloaded from the following link:

    http://www.dm.origin.com/download

    Once the Origin download manager is installed and running, log into it using your Sims3.com login credentials. From the My Games tab you should find your digital games ready to download and install. Before installing the Origin digital download games, you will need to uninstall the Steam versions of those games first.
