Create a world will do wonders.

If only they made this into the sims 4, I think the game would have been much more interesting for cc makers, and the cc they will create would have benefited the whole community.
Even with all the ommission of content and life stages and all that.
Think about it. The sims 3 CAW did wonders, but because we could only play in 1 world at a time, a lot of the custom worlds out there, especially the ones I downloaded, were focused on playablity-no routing issues, many lots, not so many trees as they slow down the game.
The way neighborhood system works in Sims 4, however heavy a neighborhood is, it doesn't impact the whole game. So instead of focusing on playablity, custom worlds can focus more on detailed views and contain a lot of decorative objects. Also, the concept of backdrops will make any kind of drawings, or even photos available as scenery.
We might get a world with a huge castle as a backdrop, or maybe a neighborhood that has a blackhole in the night sky.
I think it would have been way more cool if we had CASt though...
And if we had open neighborhoods, the experience would have been much better.
Anyway those two can't be fixed I think.

Like you mentioned before, being able to switch out backdrops should be the pivotal feature. And there should be MANY options. Lots of people have wanted to be able to make period neighborhoods since the start of the Sims, for example, and imagine if creating a Medieval world was as simple as choosing a forested backdrop with no modern machinery or buildings. Maybe have the option to make all of the roads dirt or cobbled, have the option to disable or enable vehicles and/or perhaps choose the style of vehicle on the roads? Maybe make that kind of stuff easily moddable so that creators can go crazy making all kinds of carriages and specialty cars that can easily be added to the Worlds. Choose details like a castle or another village in the distance...the possibilities could be endless; a Steampunk town, a Tudor Village, a Post-Apocalyptic city or a Fairyland.
Honestly, that would excite me as not much else so far has. I do miss my OW and the creative freedom that I had with TS3 very much, but I also think that there could be so many ways that they could go to make an epic CAW for TS4, they just need to live up to that potential.
From your ideas, switches to turn on and off stuff like traffic sounds awesome. Turning on and off day-night cycle, and setting seasons separately will be nice.
Also, setting sims spawning will be nice, by this I mean you can set specific type of sims to spawn. A neighborhood that spawns only aliens, only ghosts, children ban, supernatural ban and other settings will be nice.
I really hope colossal order or haemimont games(the maker of tropico 3-5) try life sim game.
This is a great idea! If we could somehow edit the worlds too that would be great. We could start off with the stone ages and as each generation went on, edit it to have some kinda world-progress (player controlled). Eventually having roads, houses etc. Would actually be great if you had a in-game setting for different eras.
