I have seen a world that is ideally suited for what I am looking for however there are issues with the lots raising/tearing. I would like to try and fix these myself however I have never used CAW before so I wouldn't know where to start but i'm willing to give it a go. Are there any good tutorials/step-by-step guides that would help me?
Any advice anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.
the World can be found here Riverside (scroll right to the bottom)

Once you have the world in Create a World, you will click on the "lots" tab then "conform edges" and click on the lot.
Or you can, if I remember right, click the lot, then delete, then hit the redo button - it should auto correct the lot to fit the terrain.
It's very important to give the world a new name, image, then "save as".
Have you taken the world in game and deleted the lots then replaced them with the World Editor? Sometimes that will work.
Do you have the CAW files for the world?
If you can use CAW then there are 2 options. I see the lots are not built so both will work-
1. click on a lot, save the lot address; click the delete key to delete the lot, click yes; click undo and add the address back. do this for each lot. Do this for each lot to reset the lots. Making sure to add their addresses.
2. Sometimes this works- go to the tools bar and choose Terrain, click on the Export Map. Name it and export. Now, Click on the Import map and add the map you just exported. Save. Check lots to see if they're reset to their correct height.
It turns out the world isn't suitable after all so I am still on the hunt for one until I have the time to learn how to use CAW, then design and create my own
You do know the only way to learn to use CAW is to use it. If you're afraid of failing, remember failure is a part of learning. toddlers fall learning to walk, kids fall learning to ride a bike, we say words wrong until we get it right. So, do it. Fail and know you're learning.
*If you have time to play, you have time to use CAW. One hour at a time. It's fun to use CAW and it's play.
Sometimes what you see in Create a World is not the same as what you see in game. Try to export it and see what it looks like while in the game itself.
