Hello, welcome to the thread! TRachet and I are working together to create a world that I had in my head. I even dreamed about it was so bad! TRachet is doing the CAW work while I will be doing building and sims, and I am so excited about this project!
It is slightly fantasy, though only a light touch. The idea is for it to have mountains, a waterfall, and a river leading out to the sea. There will be a small place for werewolves to reside, a beach type area for fairies, and a slightly spooky area for witches.
As of now, I do not have a clue what I want to name this world. If you have any ideas, let us know

ETA - Your chance to get someone to work that long on a request world is very slim. Like for example this Moon Valley took 8 months by a very expert builder - like other builders here she made it for herself and then shared it. So you should try this one, and if it does not suit your fancy keep looking as not many builders choose to build without roads and actually get it right - as the game is programmed to have roads - but this world does hold together great unlike most other roadless ones I have tested.

In dreams - I LIVE!
In REALITY, I simply exist.....
I was going to simply help you, but I'm going to be away for a month. I do have a few days to spare, however.
Do you think that you can upload some pictures, or a self made map to show some further detail? If it is not overly complicated, I would love to take a shot at this for you!
(Oh, and a list of lot sizes that you would want would be awesome, too.)
Rough map of what I want this world to look like
You don't want roads?
Distant Terrain is designed to work with large maps. Do you want to forget about it or would you like me to bump up the map size?
What kind of influences would you like in each district? This would include the type of trees, colors, terrain.
For example, I was picking up a light terrain with a dark "spray" here and there with coniferous trees to fulfill the forest look with a rocky beach for the "Fairy Beach/Forest. (That was just an example.)
And about the lots. Do the "C"'s stand for "community"? In the blank spots I can make sure it's flat and rotatable so you can place more if you wish.
And no, this map is fine!
Well, my larger districts (as in the larger dots) are Political, Military, Business, and the run down area from when the science facility blew up years ago. I'll load up my game to look at trees and stuff. Its mostly forest area if that helps for now
The C's do stand for Community. I have been planning out where I want which community lots - the blank ones (and the Castle, N1, N2, N3 & N4) are residences. I'll be wanting to add more
Footpaths sound good to me. I'll probably blend in a sidewalk so there isn't any routing issue.
I'll try to come up with a base map tonight. (I have more free time then I know what to do with)
Just to clarify: I may not finish the world before I leave. Are you comfortable with this?
Now, you can change anything about it. But I think that highlighting the sharper points, instead of doing the whole thing, will add a more fantasy feeling to it.
Now, I put some trees on it to show how it could look more like distant terrain. I also think that when I put the ini files in, it'll look awesome. I also plan on adding more detail to it, such as dirt and smaller plants.
So, here it is:
Please let me know if you could work with this. I think in the actual map, I would make them taller, especially where the castle will sit. (And it won't have such an awkward oval shape).
TRachet: I actually really, really like it!
If there is something you can't read - let me know.
Could we make the Werewolf area slightly darker than the rest of the world? Whether it's using more trees or darker paints or something. The witch area should have mostly dead trees if that works - I want both these areas to seem slightly creepy - especially the witches since they would have been considered dangerous people who worked for "the dark lord" and I want that to be reflected in where they live.
And yes! I'll try to work up some things. I'll probably have some done tonight. I really want to make the mountains detailed, though. So it may not look the best. :P
See you soon!
But, it's my time to depart on my trip.
I can't wait to see your homes! That should give me a little vivid insight!
Once again, my apologies. I am still up for building the world when I get back!
Talk to you soon!
Edit: Do you know how to put sims into a world/occupied homes? I don't want to place families in the homes if we can't include them when I can make the two separately.
