Creating a world for OKW

[Jolie Rouge]

Weather just cut my wlan connection, something is changing. Whatever.

 

Yep, NRaas does the job, reducing traffic and some settings for ice- and food-truck. Should have a look into more of NRaas-mods.

And your help is very much appreciated.

 

 

 

 

[Jolie Rouge]

Note to myself: place three parking-spaces and one food-truck. Set NRaas_traffic: residential, active lot true, night true, parking-space required false.

 

Note to others: works with Simsamples download on MTS.

[Jolie Rouge]

Decided to clean up the Downloads-Folder, followed the Guide-to-OKW, renaming and all.

Still takes time to install some missing stuff, but overall loading time for the launcher is reduced.

 

A question is, where do you find stuff, you save in edit-town-mode?

CAS is clear to me, mydocuments-electronic arts-savedsims, where is everything else?

 

And I learned a thing about CC (had to test this...), installed the world into the fresh game, without any CC installed and all CC used in this world is there. Don`t want to create a world and make anyone go download-hunting.

One Texture disappeared and four items were deleted, as they were not installed at that time.

A thing less to worry about.

 

The screenshot is inside of the Hospital.

good thing making it with no CC...although i would have loved some lots made for cyclonesues abandoned train-lots

I have all her cc ( I think) but have a hard time placing her lots without it looking weird (need to tweak _alot_ to make it look okeyish)

btw do you use cc-magic? did wonders for m loadingtime/lagging and my cc-mania (Do not recommend starting to use it in the middle of a project though, as it took me some time to get used to)

i know that hospital will look so cool with some cc from the13thsim and aikea guinea Can`t wait to dl your world and start tweaking

(oh don`t rush it though...I am just happy someone is doing this, as i have wanted to try learning to do that myself for some time, but just don`t have the drive to begin such a huge project )

[Jolie Rouge]

Oh. some misunderstanding, I use CC and yes, it is all cyclonesue (textures, roof-deco, some objects), just don`t want to use too much stuff from other creators and this clean-up answered the question, if it would still be there, without having any CC installed in the game itself.

You know, installing any lot whatsoever by cyclonesue adds a ton of her stuff to objects and textures, without having to download that stuff, to make that lot work. That is what I like.

 

The stuff you see on the screenie is part BS_funeral_embalming, part AC_hospital_stuff aaaaand (yesss, I found your link!) 13thsim.....(big grin).

[Jolie Rouge]

Weird things seem to happen out of nowhere. Placed a Rave-Club (arrrr, forgot the pole) and the world goes laggy.

Not really bad, but a second every now and then, just noticeable.

No problems, while it was an empty lot. Any solutions, ideas, suggestions, whatever?

[maraas]

Maybe routing problem?

Very close, was my first thought too.

 

But it was some minor detail: fences need gates. Rapist behind fence, fence has no gate, cop cannot arrest rapist......lag.

Just fixed it.

 

 

 

[maraas]

lol. glad you found what caused the lag

[Jolie Rouge]

Update: Laundromat and DanceClub are now added to the world, missing gates are fixed.

The Laundromat has a condom-dispenser inside.

Added a lot for grocery, next will be some apartments, beach needs a parking-space for the food-truck.

 

Spooky: a sim-world without lag.......

 

[maraas]

sounds amazing

[lungpaul]

sounding like its coming on great I am ready to test it as soon as you an release it

[Jolie Rouge]

Note to myself: Overwatch--clean up outfits and stuck check set to false.

Second note: add Lady666 to personal-heroes-list for washing-machine-animations!

 

Talking about release: I think, there will  be more than one, as it is,...hm...., early alfa-stage.

But I think about uploading some lots, so you have a backup (you know, Murphy and The Law (Who needs Murphy? Judge Dredd!*)).

 

Would help a ton, if someone more familiar with CAW would show up and lend me a hand, base-game-roads and textures are booooring.

 

* I....am the law!!

 

Enough of this, I`ll go and install overwatch.

 

 

 

[lungpaul]

I'd love to have some of your lots also I'm sorry I can't be any help with the construction

[Jolie Rouge]

I need addresses for my lots, so, would "13 South Fleabottom Row" be valid (the Row-part of this)?

Is a "Fleabottom Lane" outside city-limits? Or Fleabottom Road?

 

Basically "address-terminology 101".

 

An explanation, please.

[maraas]

No idea if this is helpful, but here goes :

Adding streetname:

Adding adress to your lot: http://modthesims.info/t/386467

[Jolie Rouge]

I guess this will sort things (you know about the thanks-button!).

 

Oh, and judging by how often this is asked, I think I`ll place more than one condom-machine (grin).

 

Update: placed a dummy-apartment-tower, for NPC only, "High Rise Heights" by Cyclone Sue.

 

Which one has the better sound to it : "East Fleabottom High" or "Fleabottom Educational Facility"?

[lungpaul]

I prefer Fleabottom Educational Facility as they will all need educating

[Jolie Rouge]

Just created a new one: "Fleabottom Federal Facility for Educational Correction", only this one exceeds the maximum length for lot-names.

 

 

[maraas]

ok I will from now on start to use the reputation thingy as a thank you/like/i agree button...

 

I agree with lungpaul fleabottom educational facility sounds better Oh and i like the alcatras. gloomy and scary!

[Jolie Rouge]

Alcatraz is, what comes to my mind, when picturing an "Educational Facility". Weird, weird, weird.

 

Found something in my collection, an abandoned asylum, creepy. Wall-writings and all.

Try TSR, abandoned asylum and another one is Carson-Library (also TSR I think).

 

I`ll place them into the world and see how this looks.

 

 

[Jolie Rouge]

Update: renamed "East Fleabottom High" to "Fleabottom Educational Fac.".

 

"Facility" is too long, hope "Fac." is right.

 

Added two lots, one for a science-lab, other for corporate-tower, the beach now has a parking-space for the Food-Truck.

Seven small residential-lots added to Fleabottom Row, renamed one other residential to "Rushdon Heights" according to Cyclone Sue`s naming, this is the apartment-tower.

 

 

 

[maraas]

sounds very good can`t wait to try it

[Jolie Rouge]

As Master Yoda would say: "Hmmmmmm......patience! Always in motion the future is!"

[Jolie Rouge]

Hm. Weird.

 

After renaming to "Educational Facility", some of the adjacent lots seem to be reset to "no visitors allowed", need a closer look at this.

 

The grocrey seen on the last screenie is replaced by a small market, means register, counter and all.

 

Have to rebuild the science-lab, forgot to save it (grumbling). No big loss anyway.

 

Still need to think of the corporate-lot.
