    Ah, does this mean I should redownload CAW? Is the update the reason why I can't export? :/

    I don't think so as people have been having a time of it for a while now - long before these updates. What I would do is go get advice from Rflong in her thread as she battles Caw a lot and has helped others more than anyone I know lately with that very thing. Juneceda also has a way of dealing with it - but it seems since IP it has been a beast - that version and this version.

    I just test worlds - so I am not the one to advise with CAW.

    Wow, it looks great, I've always wanted to play a Japanese world, since I'm a bit of a japanophile, I even tried to create one myself a while back :)

    Your work looks stunning and I'm looking forward to trying out your game, bookmarking this thread! :)

    Thank you very much guys! :) makes me happy to see your comments of support!

    I won't be able to work on new builds until the end of the week, but I'm currently working on a dojo and a few other community lots. I haven't decided whether I want a fire station. I don't care much for it in my game, and don't usually play that career, but I suppose I can make one for when I upload and then just delete it later. There aren't a lot of roads in this game which can be problematic for this career.

    We'll see. :)

    Hope you l have a great week!

    wow! The landscaping and terrain looks so lovely. Like a painting. I love what you did with the dragon cave, making a waterfall out of it. :)

    Testing the boat under bridge...

    ...it works!

    Simkyoto looks fantastic :D I thought boats had the same issue as cars, "not being able to go under bridges" - this is really good to know that boats can, I wish EA could done something like that with the car with bridges.

    Fantastic job - can't wait to see the finish project :wink:

    *wave* Hello everyone! Thank you very much for commenting I'm so happy to have the support. I've actually been playing a bit more than building, which is nice~ However, I'd like to get back on track again with this world.

    Unfortunately, I can't export it to test Simkyoto, it always says "failed" so I'm going to clear everything, do I nice clean install and try again. I'm hoping CC didn't corrupt my files... because I only had one back up and that version didn't work either. ;_;

    I'll do my best to work on it more in the future! I've always wanted a world like this too :]

    Much love to you all!

    Just in case some of you didn't scroll through the huge photo album, I'll post the world over-view so you can see what it looks like in full...

    There's been quite a bit added though since these pics are older. But that's the lay out. All I need to do is build :]

    I have Thursday off, so I'll be working on Simkyoto that day! Definitely my plan :]

    Thank you guys so much for stopping in to support me. Helps the process, and makes me feel like I'm going to accomplish it.

    Aw, thank you Hun, I'm glad you like simkyoto :) I update the front page sometimes if I added content but I think I'm pretty much set on what you'll need for the world to function. I tried to limit it actually... Because I own most of the store and all sp's and ep's excluding into the future :O

    Also I got simkyoto to export and did some testing, winter pics coming tonight :) the town looks so pretty! Can't wait to show you!

    Still working~ Made a marketplace. Has book/comic registers, food register and consignment. Don't know how these will work together on one lot, but we'll see when I do another testing day.

    Simkyoto is around 85% complete!

    Just a few more houses and one more community lot with burried rabbit holes and that's that. I left quite a few blank lots, some 20x30's (and 30x20's), 40x30's and a 50x50 and 64x64 for those who love large builds. I'm not a huge fan, so I'm not building any large residentials. So I left them for you to do your thing.

    I can't believe how far I've come... I want to say this project took me almost a year and a half. It would have been sooner is CAW worked from time to time. xD Also if I only understood that 'Less is More'.

    So hopefully this will be released before I leave for vacation in late April. :]

    Thank you for all your support and kind words. I do love this world a lot. And I'm excited to finish and start a new project ;D

    Ahhh! It looks so wonderful!

    I can't wait until it's finished... hopefully my new computer will be able to handle it at least! :p

    ... and some new store content will be needed. -sigh-
    SO WORTH IT.
