I'm back after 84 years with a *completed* tiny world!

It's been a lifetime since I did any world building but, stuck indoors with not much else to do I got right back into it!
So I'd like to present the super small, Greystone Island...
Okay, I really don't know if anyone is interested in downloading this (or even if anyone still plays this game, phew!), but the idea was I really just needed a super small and convenient world so I can keep an eye on my Sim families. Plus the smaller the world, the smoother it runs.
Lots: 20 Total
- 6 Residential: 5 built and fully furnished plus 1 relatively empty "legacy" lot (40x40).
- 9 Community: Including 2 beaches, 1 Fishing spot, 1 Hangout (A shopping mall with all of the registers and community objects required, such as library and gym equipment etc), 2 bars (local watering hole and fusion lounge), Festival lot, port, and 1 lot with basic rabbit holes.
- 5 totally empty lots for whatever extra you require in your game!
World was created using ALL EP's & SP's, however many features haven't been included (eg no diving lots, resorts or ITF lots built).
It also uses a fair bit of store content although the world should run smoothly without these (might look a bit odd in places due to default replacements - but easily fixable).
World also uses some CC (Around The Sims3 Liberated Rocks, Gelina Double Sided Retaining Walls and Jynx Rabbit Hole Doors). I'm hoping they download with the world! I wouldn't normally include so much CC in a world but since I built it mostly for my own use and I highly doubt it'll get many downloads, I decided it probably didn't matter.
I also highly recommend running NRAAS Overwatch to keep abandoned cars to a minimum (It's great for a lot of things but the cars thing REALLY bothers me!). Also keep an eye on the fishing spot in game, horses tend to gather and cause issues.
I play tested for 1 Sim week and didn't find any major issues or routing problems (aside from their usual nonsense behaviour like swimming through retaining walls for absolutely no reason).

If you do download, PLEASE share screenshots here I'd love to see what you think and what you do with the world!

Your little world looks very nice. Sims 3 does still have an active player community, and since there is no content being added to it by EA, I think new player created worlds and lots are always appreciated.

Thanks very much!
I'm not sure I have any tips, it's a long process and can be frustrating when things don't go right! The main thing I always have a nightmare with is the routing. Because Sims route pretty 🐸🐸🐸🐸 weirdly. So always make sure you lay down your non routable terrain paint and double check where you're allowing your Sims to go. Have fun!

@wizardtsw : Are you asking how to populate your world using CAW? In that case, you will have to use NRAAS mods inside of EIG to do so.
After reading the title, I had to post that..
But this world looks AMAZING @Lucky25
