I am having some problems with the CAW tool. [SOLVED]

I downloaded the CAW tool from the games4theworld site, precisely, from the link given here. It seems to work but I can not get the EIG to work. When I click on edit in game, nothing happens. Just the GUI in the CAW tool goes Sims3 Blue, giving you a feeling that it will launch Sims3 but then, it refreshes and goes back to normal, CAW GUI. 

I have been reading stuff for like a few days now and most of those stuff are related to/regarding the original game files and origin stuff. All my base game and expansion downloads are from the games4theworld site and all are, naturally, pirated versions. 

I also found some information that advices me to fresh copy the documents ea games files and I did that, tried with no mods or cc, and it still did not work. 

I found some advice on disabling DEP for CAW but I think that was not a smart advice, as DEP can not be disabled for CAW because it is an application from before windows 7. SO that did not work either. 

I found a batch file, claiming it might fix this problem but comments told me the reverse and I did not try that, anyway it would be better to work this around without any third party as more third party means more problems, most of the times.

So I ran out of options. I did not use CAW before in my life, I always thought it was frustratingly vast and time consuming but at this point, customizing my game came to a close that game would plainly offer so I really needed the CAW tool.

Any help would be appreciated. Perhaps I am using the wrong version of the CAW tool, as these posts are quite old and the version could be a mismatch. I just don't have a clue on that. Only informational help I can provide is that I downloaded the CAW from the above link, my base game version is 1.67.2.024002 and the rest of the expansion versions are as follows: 



I updated all of my expansions with the update patcher. Does anyone have any idea or know anything that can help me? Thanks in advance.
