Creating a world for OKW


Recommended Posts

Posted

I like the world!

 

For the bowling alley, I assume you mean the building at the end of the road, sitting between Blackwater Island and Basic Home Park.
 

(Toilet. Professional Bar. Four little separee-type seating areas. And a large empty hall with some lights, but nothing else.)

It shows as "Community Lot" on the map, standard icon. When I click it, it says "Visit Community Lot". 

 

Toilet and sink work, so does the condom machine. (Edit: It took a little while until the "Dance" option appeared on the loudspeaker, but it also works fine.) ... anyway, it will only take a few dozen clicks to transform this lot into a bar or club, and I like the layout.

 

Oh and Blackwater Line Park is an empty lot, does that make it a good place for some early whoring?

 

Awesome map so far!

+ The first time I'm playing a map using rugs ... nice.

+ The world seems a bit more challenging than usual to start in (Alchemy shop without Alchemy Station, no Library that I could see, Gym without TV or shower.) Nice.

+ No Graveyard, so no early death flower. (Also I think I read that not having a graveyard slows down the game once sims start dying.)

Yep, that`s it!

 

Hey, this means, I could change the text saying "requires" to "would be good to have".

Blackwater Line Park is empty, cause I don`t know, what to build there.

It`s...hm....imagine all the viaduct lots in a continuous line connected by bridges and all that railroad stuff; that`s the old line. Then the subway was built (Fleabottom Row Station and Fleabottom Shores Station) and the line was abandoned. So those lots are the remainders of former glory (haha).

 

Early whoring is best in the Speak Easy Bar, later you can go over to Castle Black, or the Criminal Hideout (still no name for it, something like "Vito`s Garage-Making you an offer, you can`t refuse").

 

It`s the poorest part of the city, they can afford the shop, but no alchemy station....and I imagined the library in the science lab, just upstairs. Place some bookshelfes and chairs, an old PC and there it is.

 

Will have to test a graveyard, I remember having built one for another world.....

Just had a look at it, it is in the ingame community lot/subtype list, so I guess you are right, it could be important to have one in a world. Something to find out.

Thanks I think.

 

Would you do some testing with dead sims and give feedback on this one?

OK, so I think I read someone saying that a world needs a graveyard to prevent something bad from happening ... I may be paranoid here. 

*google*

This sentence probably made me believe a graveyard is needed: "Has all rabbit holes necessary for the town including a cemetery, small park and 1 starter house, all with original Maxis objects."from the "Worlds+Recommended+By+Wiki+Members" page on Nraas, Blue Bay Mammut description. It may be just unfortunate phrasing (he may have meant "has all rabbitholes and a cemetery")

I found no other indication that not having a graveard causes issues.

I'll try to find time to check though :)

What I have found about graveyards is people complaining about no ghosts on the custom or ported ones.

So, I´ll place one for testing (and the part-time job) and see; if nothing weird happens, I´ll add it.

Nope, no graveyard.....started to give me the mailbox-bug (however that would work), deleted it and everything is back to normal and working fine. Strange.

Arrrrr!

 

More strangeness: happens with residential lots too!

My poor cashiers at different shops keeps getting raped, i figured I atleast could make them a cosier environment to work in :) So here is the food shoppost-562642-0-88752900-1445894660_thumb.jpg(recognize the cashier? She is based on the simette i got from you!)post-562642-0-07819100-1445896650_thumb.jpg

 

Also furnished the second floor of the SPA, made it into a bordello/adult shop. I`ve made this the preferred place to send my cute whore. And the customers love her;) post-562642-0-65254900-1445894839_thumb.jpgpost-562642-0-36841700-1445895640_thumb.jpg

 

The book shop/library has also gotten a bit more atmosphere. post-562642-0-47194900-1445895011_thumb.jpgpost-562642-0-76987300-1445894989_thumb.jpg

 

Thanks for the world. i am loving it as you might notice;)

 

Had to add a picture of  Mr.black, the head of the police these days, and my cute "supposed to be proper and shy" twin going at it in his shed. *sigh* I don`t know what I did wrong but she is worse then her twin sister, the town whore! Going around doing it with all kinds...during all hours of the day/night. And with married men twice her age! I really don`t know what to do with her! Think i need a serious jail/torturechamber next. ;)post-562642-0-64799800-1445895784_thumb.jpg

Hm. I installed the most recent KW yesterday; and noticed an option I haven't seen before:

(Click on a lot) -> Register as Club / Register as Hotel

 

Anyone know what these do?

If I got  it right, then it`s for high-class escort. Take her to a restaurant, then a lounge, shake at the dance-club, and a hotel for some bunga-bunga.

The Cantina could be registered as hotel, it has rooms with beds.

OK now I'm curious about your plans for this world and what you're going to add next.

Decoration? Pre-made sims?

Decoration maybe, if I can figure out the thing with tree-groups, but what I got from some texts about this, it may cause lag.

And populating the world is......complicated.

 

So, deco is a big if and sims a no.

Anyway, I`ll keep it synced with OKW.

Thanks for the info.

I modified the town to have more furniture: A dinner table and chair in the Grocery / Small Market, Jewel Cutter and decoration on the upper floor of the Station in town.

 

That station gave me a headache: Sims will access the roof by walking through the decorative stone barrier at the end of the stairs.

So I added another door to the upstairs room and removed the decorative stone barrier to make the roof accessible.

As a result, the blue door between the staircase and the room bugged out, creating a glitched line of blueish door texture all the way across town. Deleting that blue door, and using a standard door, fixed it.

(I forgot to screenshot it though. Managed to reproduce this behavior 2x.)

The mod-to-your-liking is intended (keeps stuffing lots out of my hair and file size low), the station-door bug is not. The lot should be set to no-visitors-allowed.

I noticed some flickering when I placed the door, but this is strange.

Whatever, noted for next version.

Wow! Your world looks great, I'm impressed!

This is a small world and with mostly empty buildings, so that you can add your own deco and your own cc. It has the most necessary buildings, but you are free to add lots and buildings yourself. I have added a lot of cyclonesue`s and redecorated some houses from other worlds and brought them into this world. I have redecorated JR`s spa, food shop, policestation, nectary and library to my own liking.

 

I use it all the time as it is so much better then the laggy ea-worlds, even with tons of CC added.

Crappy connection yesterday....

 

Did some tests back then, but got weird results, the mailbox-reset-bug and (first time ever, big opening celebration, roll out the Red Carpet, beat the drums!).......lag.

 

If I`m in the mood for it, I`ll test it again.

 

Anyway, I`m currently moving to my new place, hopefully getting my hands on a fiber-optic connection, this would reduce uploading from around 2 hours to some seconds.

Might take some weeks, as some minor problems  have to be solved, but then there will be an update.

So, with everything sorted now, I can continue building.

 

New school, just for testing, a bot-shop and some "new" residential lots. Still need to figure the RegisterSchool thingy, no students and no prof showing up, although I got the according messages. Doing something wrong, here.

i am having no probs with the school but you have to make sure you have the podium whiteboard and either a buffet table or food register with dining tables without them i dont think it will let you register it
