Game Data Not Found

This is my first time trying to download and use it, but it keeps telling me the game data wasn't found and then mentions something about protected memory and corrupted stuff. The game itself works fine though. I've already tried removing it and reinstalling it and that didn't help. I also don't have Generations yet, so I don't know if that is the problem or not. Do I need the latest expansion pack for it to work?

    Hi,

    I can't get it to work and I sure didn't want the update. It was something I was going to avoid and yet EA sure did stick it to me. :(

    I can't run CAW with the update and all the stuff... You are not alone. :(

    Well, I had the same problem. But i downloaded CAW again, and it seems like it was a newer version, that worked with the new patch.

    ...But then I installed late night add-on, and the create a world tool won't work AGAIN. I've reinstalled caw again but it won't work.

    It's the Generations update making it not work because EA has not updated it yet for the new updates to work with it. But i assure you guys if it won't work for Rflong, one of the best Creators we have on this forum, it won't work for anybody until EA updates it.

    Well, I'm relieved to know it isn't just me then. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon so that I can use it. I was really hoping to get started with it-it sounds like a pretty interesting tool, if a bit hard to get the hang of.

    it works:
    Make sure the following:

    > All games are fully updated: (to these versions)
    TS3: 1.22.9.011001
    WA: 2.14.4.010001
    HEL: 3.10.4.010001
    AMBIT: 4.7.4.010001
    LN: 6.2.4.010001
    GEN: 8.0.152.011001

    **IGNORE THE 010001 thts my country code your game may be different***

    **TO FIND YOUR VERSION GOTO:

    A) C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin
    OR
    B)C:\Program Files(x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin

    **WA,HEL,AMBIT,LN,&GEN are all under the general: "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts" folder.. Each "skuversion" will be under the C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\XXXXXX\Bin, where XXXX is the game your looking up**

    From there look for "skuversion"

    In skuversion the top most line will tell you what each game is at.

    If your versions dont match..manually update I had too.

    Re-install CAW..theres an update for it

    Hopefully this helps
