I've taken the plunge into sims 3 create a world program. I don't know that I'll ever have the finesse of some of my favorite builders like Rflong I do hope however to get half way decent at worlds in the tiny to medium range. My first attempt at a tiny world was every definition of the words clunky and noobie. As you can see from the second and third pictures below I had a few issues. The wonky road was a result of learning how to place roads. The one bit that worked exactly as I wanted was Rflong's trick of placing the dumpsters in the open world. I've learned that there is one other handy item I can place in the open world, the showtime trailer for sleeping in. I also figured out that all of those sculpting tricks from the ZooU threads in the main ea s3 builders forums are very helpful for world building. I've upped the ante on myself, and jumped straight from the tiny world above to a medium world. I started with a flat map under water and have sculpted out a decent sized island. It will take me several days to finish, but my end goal is a playable empty world with roughly 31 empty residential lots of assorted sizes, and a nice range of commercial lots. One particular bit that I took note of in all the tutorials and threads I was reading on working with caw ... Layers, specifically different layers for different elements. So now that I've got the terrain sculpted to my satisfaction, I'm adding and labeling the layers according to what I'm going to want on them. It will be interesting to see how much of what I want to do I'll be able to do. Update, here's where I left off the other night.
This space is at the base on the back of the big cliff in the above picture. I've got the mine, actor trailer, and a street light. Along with 4 lots, 1 micro 4x4 (?2x2) lot for a homeless sim to start out on, a slightly bigger lot which will feature an abandoned mine worker locker room, a 20x20 criminal community lot - just right for the Rustler's den & a few items, and a 20x30 junkyard designated lot.
