Got my new world into the game!!

It didn't work at first and I was completely heart broken. I stopped updating and working on it together. Google searches eventually led me to the right place tonight. I had forgotten to rebuild the routing data and now it works fine!!! I needed it to be exported because it is much faster to build within the game, then export the houses to be placed in CAW. I really thought I'd have to give up on this world.. But I don't!!!! Today is a good day, I needed a good day. Updates on this will be slow because we are trying to move, I'm 24 weeks pregnant 👀, and I'm currently playing Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Still, this was a very good day!!

Hiii,

So I have another update on this unnamed world.

First, lots of lots have been set, and reset.

Second, there is no foliage because I want my terrain just right before I start that massive project, and I think I'm almost there.

Third, it took me a few days to place all the routing. When I designed the map, I did it with routing in mind. I'm nervous about how well it will implement so I think I'm going to export the world to my game soon to test all routing, and so I can start building more houses without the massive CAW saving time while building.

Fourth, I have 8 Ports! 6 ports with linked boats, and two empty ones. It took a little to figure out, but now it's easy. I found it a shame that I had all this water and no ports, so I figured it out.

Fifth, I really need to name this world hahaha

Just some screenshots of the current project. Still have not settled on a name for the world yet, but it will have townhomes!

About CAW custom worlds..

I'm unsure how far this will reach, but I'm really curious about what the best approach to making worlds is. I didn't use an ounce of CC or store content in my last world, Simattle, but I did in my previous, Lemon Tree. It's very little cc that I realize I did not make it more apparent was needed when I watched Simplicity's review of it. It also used Midnight Hollow, Monte' Vista, and a store lot which makes it feel less accessible.

✨

P.S. Since Edit in Game is fixed I will be revisiting Lemon Tree soon, I've learned so much since I built that world!! I'm a master at making and laying down roads now 😈

✨Project update✨

World still doesn't have a name but I am still just sculpting away. Took me almost 3 days to figure out a dirt road. In the process I figured out how to make textures though! Even if I didn't use it, I still learned it haha. Maybe I'll make a few!

I can already tell this would is going to need some intricate routing placement and extensive play testing to go along with Island Paradise, but I'm up for the challenge!

GUYS!!! CAW EDIT IN GAME IS FIXED!!!!!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!!

I returned to the issue today, again, because I have this new world I have started. I was working on it despite CAW's edit in game not working. On the very same thread I posted my complaint on someone has now responded with a fix!!! AND IT WORKED!!!

**CRYING**

This ABSOLUTE GEM OF A HUMAN BEING has solved it!!

These are my steps if they help anyone:

My directory is : This PC > Local Disk > Program Data > Origin > Local Content (I had to search for my directory, the one I found under programx86 is where I found CAW, but it was not the current directory for the Sims 3. I noticed this was not the correct directory due to 'Into the Future' not showing up. I 'Search this PC'd for 'Into the Future', right clicked, and opened file location revealing my correct current directory.

I copy and pasted my CAW file into this directory

IT WORKED!!!

Please note that if you run on 12th Gen and need to use the PowerShell Script work around to launch the game, then you will also need to launch the PowerShell Script to run Edit in Game. No changes need to be made to the script!!!!!

Hello, I am from China, can I transfer mods to Chinese social platforms

Hi! How neat! You can :D

[ahemerson]

It's like if moveobjectson worked on surfaces lol

All my current plants sequestered in my Kitchen for a photoshoot. I was cleaning and rearranging their other homes in the house.

The little ones I've been working on cloning for my wedding in August to use in my centerpieces and that people can also take as wedding favors.

The Swedish Ivy clippings and the Green Spider Plant sprouts took root in water before I planted them.

The Lucky Bamboo and the Boston Fern I had to divide at the roots.

Hello,

Is there a highschool in Simattle? Where do the kids go to school?

Heya!

The school is on the second street from the bottom of the city. It's Gooder Public School from Showtime on a custom lot. Across from the soccer field :)

[ahemerson]

Simattle is ready.

This is a massive unoccupied world I’ve been working on since April. I have play tested a previous version of the world for months simultaneously and have fixed numerous quirks along the way.

“A very large world for the Sims 3. It has so much to do for the Sims who get bored easily. Plenty of skill building activities in walking distance of the school, and a lot of beaches to enjoy the prime location! Build your own home or move into one of the exiting houses and have fun!!”

World Size: Large

File Size: 105.4 MB

File Name:  Simattle 0.2 Simattle v2 

Name change and updated file. Lesson learned, do not put punctuation in your world file name. ( The 2.0 v2 is because I have a previous iteration of this world I have used to play test. )

Move-in Ready Homes: 65 ( 9 High Rises, 4 Single-Sim Starters )

Empty Residential Lots: 33

Developed Community Lots: 73

Empty Community Lots: 15

World Textures: Grass x2 Rock x2 Sand x2 

Spawners: All spawners are present other than World Adventures and Into the Future.

Required Expansions: World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, Seasons, University Life, and Island Paradise.

Required Stuff Packs: High End Loft, Fast Lane, Outdoor Living, Town Life, Master Suite, Diesel Stuff, and Movie Stuff.

Required CC: Absolutely none. No store content, no custom content. Was my goal from day one to keep all CC out. 

DOWNLOAD (SFS)  

Note, the festival area is the one from Bridgeport, and when the skate ring appears it glitches through the ground, it’s hilarious. I meant to delete it before exporting, but then there would be no festival grounds in this world. It has zero effect on the game, my sims have skated on it just fine lol

Also, I have plans to build a festival ground on a pier that I needed Simattle v2 to have the correct lot. Some of the community lots are built into the cliffside making them only playable from 3 sides. If you want a screenshot from that 4th angle just use TAB mode. None of the residential homes suffer this issue though.

Lastly, I built this world to play with my 2021 upgraded computer and so far has ran great for me. 

One more note: There is a save issue with the first file I put up, so if you can’t reload your save just uninstall ‘Simattle 0.2′ and replace with current download ‘Simattle v2′. You will not be able to load saves made with 0.2, but your new ones with v2 will work perfectly fine. I’ve never had an issue with a custom world so I did not know that this would happen, but if you put punctuation in the world file name it makes that glitch happen. So sorry to those, like, 4 people. 

Here is a screenshot of my CAW layers. I expanded one of them to show that I have layers inside of layers for organization.

I won’t admit just how long I spent placing guardrails. It was worth it though. I want to make a few non-lot walking paths in two neighborhoods next.

I need to build a few more houses, but I’m so very burnt out on building. This is okay though because I completely re-did one neighborhood’s layout so I have mansion lots now, which I realized recently were missing. Specifically a legacy lot. lol

Sooooo, apparently CAW ‘Edit in Game’ does not work with the EA app. 

Origin kept signing me out over and over so I did the switch and boi has it ended official progress on Simattle. I have quite a few houses to add to the world file. I have found this to be a universal issue and have added my small say on the EA help forum.  

One can only dream EA will fix this but, yeah, I am at least somewhat realistic and can admit when a cause is not worth the strain of hope. It’s a nightmare tho, ngl. Maybe we can blow up the issue to gain attention with the ‘Me Too’ button on the first post?

Heya! I tried installing your world in my game but it's coming up with "there are no packages to install" :( It's also only 88mb when I download it from sfs, I rly wanna try it out do u have any idea why it isn't installing?

Hi!

I am unsure, first I would quit origin or EA app and reopen the launcher and see if it shows up in game. That happens when I use custom worlds, I have to re-start the game before they show up (After a successful install). Maybe re-download it if this does not work? I really hope this helps.

I AM CRYING HAPPY TEARS!! 

I’m going to upload it, why not, I’m flabbergasted having found this world.

“A beautiful town built around cliffs. After 400+ hours of work this world has everything needed for any type of sim. 9 empty lots, 17 pre-built homes (2 starter) 14 townhomes, and 4 high rises. The only careers not preinstalled in this world are any from Island Paradise and Into The Future.”

I did not get enough time with this world before. When I updated to a 12th gen processor my Sims 3 refused to work again and I had purged everything Sims 3 from my computer trying to get the darn game working again. I really thought I had deleted this world, I mourned for you!!!!

File Name: Simattle Lemon Tree A Sims 3 Mystery

File Size: 91.1 MB

Map Size: Medium

Required Expansions: World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, Seasons, and University Life. 

Required Stuff Packs: High End Loft, Fast Lane, Outdoor Living, Town Life, Master Suite, Diesel Stuff, 70′s, 80′s & 90′s, and Movie Stuff.

Required CC: Store content- Monte Vista and Midnight Hollow were used for some of the builds. I’m sure the few things I used would get replaced.

I had big plans that I am excited about again. Today was a good day. Be warned, this world has not had all the kinks ironed out.

I really learned a lot building this world and I put sooooooo much time in it, not to mention the builds in it. I can re-use a few of my houses here for Simattle. Super helpful.

I found this looking for a backup file for current Simattle because I lost a few hours of fence placement work in CAW, did not find that, but this is WAY better.

This file also has Simattle in it’s name, it s the OG Simattle that my current world is a better tribute too. I haven’t stopped working on Simattle btw, I slowed down but I've just been building houses. Lots of houses.

I’ve been working on filling out Simattle with homes, I just spend so long on each house it is taking forever. This home sits at 18 Light Aspen Branch. Also, I liked testing this world so much that has also distracted me lol As well as I just started the first Witcher game. lol
