Modding the Create-a-World Tool to Unlock Hidden Features [A.K.A. 'SuperCAW'] by simsample @ MTS

simsample wrote::new: For all people having issues with getting CAW to run, please download the latest version from EA here. You will notice that the latest version is 1.18.5, for me it is running well and I can export, save, EIG etc. The 1.18.4 patch works for 1.18.5 too, and I have put a compiled exe in the developer's thread for those who wish to test it.


It has been discovered that the Sims 3 Create-a-World Tool Beta has many hidden developer tools that are not included in the consumer version.

I have written a tutorial to explain how to patch your copy of CAW to unlock these hidden features.
