I've decided to theme the world around one family, the builder of the Taj Mahal- Shaw Jahan and his favorite wife Mumtaz Mahal whom the Taj was built for (it is her tomb). I am playing the family as the main couple and 4 other "wives" who will also bear children to Shaw Jahan. Mumtaz had 14 children and then died in childbirth. I plan to bury the couple in the Taj Mahal eventually so that their ghosts will remain there.
I have done a lot of research on india and have found it is very diverse. The focus therefore will be on the town where the Taj Mahal is located but as its Sims, i'm trying to incorporate some of the unique aspects of india life but it will be impossible to be highly accurate. I've never visited India but have always wanted to. I would love input from anyone who can bring suggestions based on personal experiences living or visiting India.
This went from a small project to a large project to now I'm simplifying it a bit for ease of game-play.
Leaving out Island Paradise was a dissapointment and I may put it back in later but don't want the world to be reliant upon it. I had built a lake palace that was based on the lake palace built in another town by Shaw Jahan but without boats it won't be accessible so any ideas for that are welcome.
I'm going to share some screenshots of what I've done in the first 2 drafts of this world and as I continue will update.
If anyone wants to try out one of the first 2 versions I did save them and can share.
See ya in India!

Hi @KarilynMonroe2
this sounds a rather difficult world to build ... but I'm sure it will be absolutely awesome when it's done!!!
Very much looking forward to seeing some screenshots soon

I don't know how to work in CAW (maybe someday!), but if you can't see them there, then I guess just edit them in world edit mode will do? And then save and continue to work on it in CAW afterward? I hope someone can figure out why it won't show up in CAW.
As I understand it EIG is principally to edit lots rather than world terrain. So do the trees disappear from lots as well as world terrain when you come out of EIG?
I went and checked the tree metadata and it would appear than none of the trees from store worlds are in there. Both CAW and the game share the same DCCache which means that CAW should recognise store trees so perhaps the problem is with your DCCache. The only work around I can think of is to export your world to the game, add the trees there and then try to import back to CAW. Before you do anything though I would ask this question again the CAW tools section. I am not an expert CAW user but there are several others on that board who are.
Good Luck in getting it sorted.

I think those posts are very old and might not pertain to the latest patched CAW. I am trying to find out how to find the trees inside the world to clone them. I keep thinking there has got to be something simple. I can place banana trees using/Caw/Edit in Game/ word editor and they stay but all the sunlit tides items go away. They don't even get replaced, they are just gone. Meanwhile I downloaded the Empty Sunlit tides world for CAW and the trees look like Oak Trees in CAW but when you get to EIG they are there. Very perplexing indeed.
Even tho the info is old...it still works.
The key wording - " put that file in your CAW framework and your object will show up in CAW metadata.

If you also put it in your Game Framework then it will show up in the World Editor bit of Sims 3, too."
I did it!!!! So excited, these trees will look so good in my world! It was easy once i figured it out. There needs to be a step by step tutorial on this. The information was kinda all over the place
(the info...not my brain, errr...)
I've been searching EVERYWHERE for an India themed world! Are you still willing to share?!

Yes this version is nearly done!
I did try that but they still did not show. I have them now though. The pongam trees from Sunlit Tides really are perfect for it.
I loved my Oz world, too but it froze up so much and I don't know why.
