Ok so my summer vacation is coming up and with sims 3 starting to get towards the end i see my next CAW project (something i have been wishing i could make for years now) easyer and easyer to actually make
so i'm gonna start it soon woot woot
BUT i do have 1 giant problem >.<; that i'm hoping somebody could maybe help me out with here (since i'm a crappy builder and this is a pretty tricky thing so please if you know how i could do this it would mean the world to me)
What i would like to make in CAW is Final Fantasy XI's Windurst/saruta region
however the building i really am scrathing my head over is this...

*edit* oh and while i kinda have an idea how to make the walls tower any ideas on this one would be nice too
http://www.miingno.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/0082.jpg
is there anyway i can make a tower that looks somewhat like it? keeping in mind that i would like to make a dungeon/puzzle area inside for my simmies to enjoy (this would only be under the ground though so
) I know you have a cheatcode for bending walls somewhat?? but i never used it before (don't even know its name). and i would have no clue if you could use that cheat to create those bendy things ontop of the tower, any ideas?
thank you in advance
you guys are awesome

The page is best viewed in Chrome as it will automatically translate it from Spanish. There are video tutorials on the pages so you can see how to build with the pieces.
You could also check out this thread:

Its got lots of tutorials which may be helpful. The specific cheat for manipulating walls is "constrainfloorelevation true/false" It has several different applications but as far as I'm aware you can't yet build a curved wall. You would need to achieve that using a build kit.
You could either use the castle kit made by EA or again if you are willing to use CC LunaSimsLulamai has some curved structures here:

Hope that helps
There is nothing in the game that will closely recreate build in first picture.
Even with the "constrainfloorelevation on" cheat(CFE)
The second picture can probably be recreated in CAW with some careful terrain sculpting & the right terrain paints.
Because of the scale & details you'll need to do this before placing & building lot.
You'll have to source & make your own terrain paints to match.
It's no biggie; just do a Goolge image search for what your looking for.
Tutorials on "how to" can be found on the CAW forum FAQ thread.
Have fun world building
Edit: For the 2nd picture....You'll have a challenge getting access to all levels of lot.
Need to start at the top & work down :shock:
You'll definitely have mastered CFE before you're done
A SN llama or LN elevator might do the trick.
