- If you have The Sims 3 on Steam, you'll run into a very annoying error if you try and use Create A World. I'll show you a fairly quick way to fix that problem!
This method was one that was posted on The Sims 3 forums, it worked for me, so I decided to share it for those of you who wish to use Create a World and have The Sims 3 on Steam.
10 years later and this tutorial is still a life saver. Thank you! 🙏
Well done bud. I've been testing and modding the sims all ready for a custom world and just stumbled across it not working on steam. I can't stress enough how good this video is for step by step help.
I'm watching this and I'm like "wow this is amazing" and I go to subscribe... and I realize only at that moment during the last 3 seconds of the video, that it's the Sims Supply... The dude I've already been subscribed to for a year and just spent 4 hours watching only to come here and click this video. Thank you. you made my day! Clearly I have already subscribed
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU ARE AMAZING!

I had to redo it a few times due to doing it wrong, and all other types of tutorials were shit. Yours is the only one that worked. You have earned a permanent subscriber.
Oh, thank you!!! I am SO glad I found your video! I was looking for a clear-cut, easy explanation on how to do this with easy visuals. Much appreciated!
You are doing DIVINE work, sir. Thank you for everything you do!
I've been dying to use CAW again and the limitations of Steam have left me wracking my brain!
This was published on the 16th but the date on his computer is the 17th....

Thanks man I can't express how grateful I am for your help. I had almost completely given up on creating my own world. thanks again!
This is the first comment I've ever made with my youtube account in all the years I've had it, thank you, thank you endlessly for this video you're the best! It fixed my problem.
thank you soooo much. you're literally life saver. I'm so happy now and I can't wait to edit and make my own world. Thanks
OMG IT WORKS. for anyone looking for this in 2021, it actually works and is legit! I was scared to do all this when I was reading about it in the forums but this shows how simple it actually is!
YAS, thanks so much! Way easier than the other "cures" I've found!
I love Steam
Thank you so much! I tried following a text tutorial on the Steam website but I couldn't figure it out. This was so simple to follow and worked on my first attempt!
You know....I was really being to think I was screwed when I heard of caw and tried dling it and that happened, thank God this video came up
Works perfectly as of 2024 on Windows 11 (if that matters). There's no deleting, editing or replacing any original files, so there's no chance of screwing up your game. Thanks dude!
Damn, It worked! Thanks a lot, you saved me the effort of having to reinstall Sims with all those expansion packs again from Origin.
Even 8 years later this still works! Thanks so much!
Do expansion, custom content, etc get redone as well? I am thinking about trying this method.
2024 and this tutorial is still saving people! Thank you very much for helping me 😍
Thanks heaps for this tutorial. I am pretty bad when it comes to using computers, but this was a clear step by step video, which matched everything I needed to do on my PC to the letter.
Thank you SOOOOO MUCH! I was doing hours and HOURS of research (that was all confusing) and I finally found an easy way!
Thanks for this even two years on. Exactly what I needed to find and fix.
You are a lifesaver!! NEVER DELETE THIS!! Thankkk yoouuu
THANK YOU, you beautiful human being!
I am forever in your debt!
This is so helpful! Thank you, I didn't feel like I was going to brick my computer!
wow it actually worked bro thank you so much james fantastic video
...and 5 years later I say thank you for saving my day! :-)
Almost 2018 and this still helpful. thanks a lot!
thank you james! was confused about it for ages
dude this is some serious hacker skills yo!! Im subscribing!! thanx a lot.
Thank you for this video, I really didn't know it'd be this easy. Thank you!
Thank you very much! I was trying to use this tool for 2 days! :)
No reason really, just the fact that I have about 230 games on there and it's just kinda annoying having to use a similar program for a couple of games. Nothing wrong with Origin itself, just the fact that in competing with Steam it just creates a bit of inconvenience for the users.
oh my god, thanks ive been searching for ages for a way to find out how to do this
I owe you one. Instant like
Still works for Windows 10 in 2023!!! Sometimes you have to reopen the program a few times for it to run, but it works!
It installed fine but when I went to open it something pops up and it was the it has experienced a error. Help me please.
Same for me
Me 3
I tried this 5 times and it did not work for me. Can some one tell me why it’s not working for me
I don't know how this works, but the fact that it does amazes me.
Never thought an tutorial from nearly 12 years ago would still work after such a long time. lol.
I would have followed this man to Mordor and back, thank you kind sir.
Wow man thank you, this worked perfectly. I appreciate it.

It worked! Thank you so much XD
hey, thanks a lot man! I really wanted to use the caw tool :)

OMG THXS! I've always wanted to use this tool but it wouldn't work with my sims 3 on steam. Thxs alot!!
You're the best!
** After it is installed you have to go to search > "create a world" and find the program to run.
Except way better :D
Thank you so much! This worked perfectly!
i installed the game on the steam version and when i got to the sims 3 page to install the create a world tool it says that i have to put the game serial code i put it and says its wrong, help!
Thank you it worked!!
until Flab does a new version of his CAW tutorials. On the channel you should see the Old CAW Tutorials.
THANKS SOSOSOSOSOS MUCH
Now i can make my own world! Huge help!
I downloaded CAW on my mac because i can open it with wine but i get this same message but i don't have the "wow6432Node" file. help?
I did everything you did in this video exactly and no problem was fixed.
I just bought and installed The Sims 3 for Steam. After installing it, I clicked play and it did it's little first time startup things and it goes straight to the welcome launcher or whatever with the big 'Play' button on the left, news and shit in the middle area and other BS on the right...
It does give me my CD key for it and says on startup I will need to input it. So I DO get a key for it..
After clicking play, the screen goes blank, kind of faded black, as if it's starting up, a windows buffering icon shows up in the middle(the one that appears as your pointer when something isn't responding or is loading) and after about 5 seconds, the screen goes pitch black, then after a couple more seconds I am returned back to the desktop, but with the Sims 3 icon still running in my taskbar and I am able to 'open' it, but the same thing happens. It kicks me off.
And yes... I uninstalled and re-installed it.. Twice.
I have not found ANYBODY on the internet with the same problem so if ANYBODY reads this and has the knowledge to help me out with this, I would really appreciate it and I would really rather not try to contact EA. Thank you...
thank you for helping all of as how play sims 3 on steam.
thank you :) it worked and was quite easy
it works! thanks
Thanks man this helped alot!
Amazing Job !! Thank you so very much. Your a genius.
Thank You SOOOO Much This also helped for creating sims 3 CC You Are Awesome

You are awesome. Thanks so much!
Thank you!!! So helpful :)
Fair warning: regedit is very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. Apart from that, this fix works fine on Windows 10.
Awesome!!! :D Thank you!
Thank you, you are my hero😘
Thanks! It worked! Can I delete the reg file from my desktop now, or must it stay there? Just being on the safe side, because I heard messing with the registry can literally destroy your computer.
Thank you it worked
In what way is it way better? I use Origin for The Sims and SimCity and Steam for other games. I have no problem with Origin. It used to suck when it was Origin beta but now it's brilliant!
I've been wondering too. EA's CAW/CAP are "anti-mac". :/
Dude thank you!!
Thank you SO SO much!!
Hes a stupid question, do you have to update CAW when you get a new expansion or something... ? You said as long as my game was up to date, that I should have everything in CAW but I only have basic game content on my CAW
My sims folder isn't in the wow6432node folder. Can I still copy it to the desktop and use it that way?
what do u do if it says the sims 3 game data was not found. the sims 3 create a world tool - beta may not function properly
Thank you so much for this!!!!
I'm not sure whats wrong. This worked the last time I did it. Now I am on a new system, with a new install and the other week I remember doing this and it worked. Today I went to use create a world and somehow it wasn't installed, I pinned it to the start menu but now it's not there, nor in add/remove programs. So I go to where I installed it and it's there....all files and whatnot. But it won't run. I tried the regedit again and it didn't work. I tried to use the installer but couldn't find my install. Doing the regedit again didn't work. I can't install it, or uninstall it. Somehow I don't know how it just decided to go all wrong. I swear I remember doing this to get it working when I moved it to my new system, I booted up my custom world I'm making and everything to make sure....But now...
This create a world tool has to be one of the most inconvenient things. I wish somebody could make it just work, I have programs older than this that just work to this day with no fiddling. I hate computers.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
YYYEEEEEEEESSS!!!!! Thank you!
followed your instructions but it doesn't work :(
xtina same for me
Same
Still Usefull thanks a lot !!! Best Regards
so helpful thank you :)
YES, THANK YOU!
