Creating a world for OKW


Recommended Posts

Posted

I named my world Kenton. I could use assistance on it as majority of roads refuse to have lots snap onto them. In the tool the grid shows them inside the squares and I can't exactly tell if there are any angels or not.

When do they refuse? In game, or EIG (Edit In Game-mode from CAW)?

Basegame-roads or custom?

 

They don`t need to be inside the tiles, the grid is like squared paper and the lots don`t really "snap" to roads, it is more like drawing on said paper.

 

You do draw the lots in CAW?

 

Okay, the green line marks the lot, it is 8 tiles wide, the yellow one is the same size as a caw-tile and the orange area marks half-tiles.

 

Draw a lot wherever you want, the size you want. Then draw a straight road wherver else you want (not too far).

Click the select-tool ( the arrow), select the lot and click move map object.

There are two lines a blue and a red. Move the lot to the road, until the lot touches it.

That`s it.

You can draw the road parallel to the lot, a road is six tiles wide.

I make the world in CAW and edit it in game to place lots and decor. Roads appear straight but lots don't seem to connect to majority of the parts causing lots to have gaps between them and the road making things look ugly. I'll just keep editing in CAW some more to see if things are crooked in some spots, some roads are very long.

Check the roads in caw, then place the lots. The yellow globe-thingy defines the front-side.

Use short road-pieces, makes things easier to edit. Pieces are self-connecting.

Game has problems with placing lots, even if there is nothing to see.

Also good idea to place decor in caw, helps with overall performance.

After roads and lots are placed, save, start edit-in-game, to load the world, start edit-town, return to game and exit back to caw. When asked about saving say yes.

Caw will give you a list of the saved lots, hit enter or click OK. Is an initializing procedure.

Add description to your world, save, then select world to export. Takes time depending on world.

Exports-Folder in mydocuments/blah/sims3, copy file into downloads-folder, start launcher and install.

Start game with world, create your lots. Residential first, so you can test for routing-issues.

If lot looks okay, edit-town, click lot, hit Export/Upload, saved to library and to export-folder in sims3.pack, is backup if things blow up. Type description if you want.

 

Sorry for being short, wlan driving me mad with disconnect

Small update: the lot above is 30x60, good for farms or whatever. Left it a part of the world, is at the end of the road leading into the swamp.

Placed another community-lot, something small, right opposite the beach, not sure, what this will be.

No whole city, I needed a name to work with. Could have named it Buttfuck or Middleofnowhere.

Fleabottom (or Flea Bottom) is the worst part of King`s Landing, so the name is as good as any other, if not better.

 

Edit: no island.

some name ideas:

sin city

Fuckland

the place that shall not be named

fuckinghell

Cyclenesue`s Woodside Barn on this lot. Looks nice......

 

thats a nice looking farm lots of room for the animals

 

 

Awww! That should be "Cyclonesue"!

 

Yep. Thinking about a shed  and some dungeon below ground, a nectar-storage and such.

Whatever use you can find for a (creepy voice) dungeon.....wuahahahaaaaa!

As one of the NPC`s in this game says: "The only thing better, than a spanish galleon, is a spanish galleon with fourty guns, eh ?!"

She can contradict him :).

This is for all: NEVER ever hit the clone-lot-button!!

 

This is a Death-Star-Stellar-Converter-World-Destroying-Super-Laser! Makes the launcher go crazy and whatever else can happen to the game......just KA-BOOOM! Asteroid-field.

^^^^^ S**t, hope it`s fixable.

 

Loaded a copy of Fleabottom Terrace in my world, it`s a nice little starter lot. Thought there might be routing problems coz it`s narrow and has steps leading up to the front and back doors. Sent my 6 sim household over to have a look around and the routing wasn`t too bad at all coz it`s sparsely furnished, the decor`s nice but had my sims do a bit of graffiti :D You can see in the pics that 2 got arrested  :lol: Even with 8 sims on the lot and an arrest going on the routing was ok.

Sooo, I took a few pics, My sims got threw out coz they helped themselves to the fridge, sooo I set fire to his postbox  :D  After the fire was out, rang the doorbell and he lets them back in  :lol:

Ended up with the owner going sleep on his bed while Abigail was masturbating there and waiting for Casper to join her. The routing upstairs was ok too, thought that might be a bit of a sim trap.

Nice house that fits in with a grungey world vibe :)

3720 to 1? Never tell me the odds!

 

Everything back to normal, I will just wait until after OKW 0.2.5 release, before doing something again. More playing, less creating.

 

Dooda, your gang is a funny bunch, eh? :lol: good story! Set fire to postbox...... :lol:
