Hey all,
it's my first time making a world and i thought it was all going wonderfully BUT i'd just placed all of my lots and following the online instructions i went into EDIT IN GAME to put things in and on my empty lots.
However, once i was in the Edit in Game mode i clicked on the lot that i wanted to edit and naturally it zoomed into the lot for me BUT as it got closer a blue wash came over the terrain and screen!
I tried rotating and zooming out and in again but as soon as i zoomed right out my world and lots looked normal but when i zoomed in again this blue wash came over my lot again!
It's very frustrating and i would love some help with what i may have done wrong or missed out somewhere along the line and i would appreciate any help you could give!
I just want to get my first ever world finished because it's soooo cooooll!
Anyway hope you can help
Love Maisie

The closer you get to the lot the more the screen gets covered in blue.
Is any solution for this?
It´s impossible to create the houses because the closer you get, more blue the screen turns.
Updated graphic, uninstall/reinstall CAW, zoom out, zoom in, change angle and zoom out/in - nothing helps
so I really hope for a solution???
When in CAW (before going into Edit in game), make sure your camera position is zoomed in right close to the ground (imagine a sim looking down at their feet). Now open Edit in Game. The camera position should already be zoomed in and might prevent the blue screen as you zoom in to a lot.
I think I have tried almost everything
and nothing helps.... and I must admit that I am almost in tears right now ...
I even updated, bought TL and installed that, uninstalled the CAW program totally and started with at totally new installation with no saved worlds at all
I placed two small lots in Riverview lite world - and it looks like this, when I zoomed in on one of the lots:
For me it works fine to do the following: Once in EIG I enter edit town mode, then from ETM I quit EIG and when I'm asked wether I want to save or not I save. Then when I'm back in CAW I just reenter EIG and the problem should be solved. This is all withouth ever exiting CAW just for the record.
Although it's a bit tedious it works everytime for me.
I guess it's just a strange glitch that comes and goes, that can't be permanently fixed.
So to solve this I just wouldn't zoom is as far, or find a different angle in which to zoom in that far.
Just a thought, hope that helps.
Hiya ,
I've had this problem a few times and I have since discovered that this happens every time I had remove my game disc from the CD drive.
P.S I have no idea if this applies to people who downloaded there game from orgin.
If you do what Johnnywe says it will not do that.
I had the same problem on one world and that is what they said to do.
I did it and all is well.
Give it a try.
