Thank-you KayPapagei, I look forward to seeing what you do with my world! If anyone knows how I can package my partially build world please let me know.. I worked hard on all of the apartments and houses, I would love to share them with everyone.

I don't know because i've never gotten to that stage in world building but is there anything in the CAW FAQ?
I try to add all of the buildings in CAW's edit in game.. it takes a hour or so.. then i save.. it saves fine.. i decide to exit.. it asks me if i want to save again.. i click save (i always save twice before exiting) and BOOOM! CAW crashes.
Now, I try to load my world files and it says cannot load file, ahhhhh! Now every single file in my CAW is corrupted, even back-ups and other worlds *sigh*
I am glad that I uploaded the vanilla copies before this happened.. that means that I can just do a clean wipe re-install of CAW and add my world files back. But I would still like to know how the heck to add all of my buildings now!?!?!
I have a feeling that I am going to have to upload each and every building individually.. how.. time-consuming.. *sigh*
Wow! I downloaded this last night and it's fantastic! even better than I was expecting aswell. Time to find some nice buildings and move all my sims there!
EDIT: Also, what I've seen other world creators do to get their buildings in the world too is to share the world file like you've done, and then also upload a save file. Then instead of creating a new world, we can just continue on from your save file once we put it in our saves folder.
Thank-you Tasha, That sounds like a great idea. I will probably just leave this at the moment and all of you can just add your own buildings to it. I am still working on it every now and then, but now i'm just doing it for myself.. when i eventually finish it someday i will probably upload the final world, but for now you will all just have to make do with the world file.
It's too much pressure to finish it so i'm not going to bother updating or anything unless i have some time on my hands. I am glad you are enjoying the world I have created. I was thinking of myself and what i wanted in a world when i created it and apparently everyone else liked my taste in worlds too!
This is a really good world. However it's a shame the area next to the rocket with the downtown cranes and stuff has minor roads everywhere, as I've been trying to put down the communtiy lots from bridgeport (I want it to be my downtwon area) there but seem to be failing with some of them as when I buldoze lots and try to place down other lots (sometimes smaller ones) I'm constantly getting told I can't place lots on roads. It's really irritating.
Also I downloaded your file (the one which you said people should use if they want to add onto your world or test for bugs) but is CAW required to turn that folder "Briz Vegas v1" into a sims3 pack or will a tool like sims3 package editor suffice. Thanks Cubby.
Does anyone have any good community lots for the city area? I've done a reasonable amount of the suburban area but the lot sizes are a bit obscure over the other side (can't just place the LN high rises.) Any recommendations for city buildings would be great!
I've also noticed some routing issues on the big bridge closest to the ocean. This one:
I've been resetting the town every now and then with nraas master controller but eventually I end up with a line up of sims on the bridge who can't move. Whenever a taxi takes them over this bridge it stops and lets them out and then they get stuck there. Has anyone managed to fix this?

I've just finished building and populating this world and already one of my sims got stuck on this bridge. Does anyone know how to fix the bridge in CAW? I've spent a month on this world and I'll be gutted if the bridge problem cannot be fixed, as it may mean I'll have to abandon this world, after spending 4 weeks working on it.

sorry to hear about your bridge problem, hopfully it will get fixed...
But I was wondering if you could do ariel shots of your world to show us how and what you have done to it ..
Although this is a nice world I would only reccomend you download it if you are;
a) Willing to fix the problem bridge in CAW, there are only so many times you can reset sims.
b) Are willing to make a lot of lots. I edited the world in CAW by deleting some of the lots, and the World still has 145 lots.It took me about a month in total to complete.
@tl8au: As you kindly requested some screenshots, here they are:
Here are some more shots of the uptown side. Also can I just note I did not make all of these lots, I only made some. Other lots were made by EA, creators from my sims realty/ MTS, or Simmers from the community on here (although only a handful of exchange lots were used).

About the location of the rocket, I don't have an army base. The military career is in the bridgeport city hall in the centre island. Unless you meant the science camp which is at the top right corner of the uptown/surburban area. However I like the original location of the rocket even if it would make more sense to have it near the science camp. I guess I'll just say it's an abandoned rocket as it's no longer in use due to being too old.
I could upload it, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea to be honest because the World has CC, not only are some of the lots from third party websites but practically every sim in that world has CC on them whether it's their hair or clothes. And I know how CC ridden worlds have a stigma attatched to them. Plus I made the game with patch 1.29 so I'm hesitant as to whether it would work with showtime or newer patches/releases. :?
I'll have a browse around the internet to see the guidelines/ reccomendations when it comes to uploading worlds, but for now I don't think it would be a popular download due to:
1. The size of the world: 145 lots is a lot so not everyone could run this world efficiently.
2. The amount of CC in the world in terms of lots and sims. Although I checked all custom lots with custard and dashboard before putting them in game, I know some people can still be funny when it comes to CC.
3. The world was made with an obselete patch (1.29), so those who are up to date or have showtime will probably be wary of this world.
As I said I'll check out some information concerning uploading worlds and whether it's wise/ worth uploading this world. If anyone has anything to add feel free to post.
I'm sorry to say that I quit playing the Sims altogether. Unfortunately with full time study and part time work I didn't have time to play and not to mention how dissatisfied I am with EA. I am very glad to see that my work has not gone to waste and MckenzieMember has done a brilliant job filling my world with beautiful buildings. I have the file still stored away somewhere on my computer and might get back to it one day, you never know. But I just thought I would check in and see how everything has turned out.
Please keep working on my world and making it better, I am very pleased to see how much everyone loved it.
I am sorry about the bridge issue, when I played it the bridge was fine, for some reason it has gotten messed up. I am sure you can find a way to fix it with the files I gave you.

wow, that made it look very good and busy world...
are you able to up load the world when you are finished...
the housing area looks great ...and the city looks great and busy lol
and the farming area looks good too..
thanks for Sharing ..
there is only one thing I would have change in the world... if possible....I would have put the Rocket thing over near the army base ...
About the location of the rocket, I don't have an army base. The military career is in the bridgeport city hall in the centre island.
