There are ways to use the standard distant terrain with a medium sized world... Let me get my last couple of exams out of the way this week, and I'll make a tutorial about it.
-
Might not be quite what you're after, but take a look at New Plassa and see if you like it: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=3923857

It's still a WIP, but I'm currently making a complete world on a tiny map. It will be base game only and has all rabbit holes from the base game, plus a lot to build a fire station on. It was just a bit too much to ask to put a consignment store, laundromat or tattoo parlour in there (although you could re-zone some of the…
-
The harder ones were not being able to have more than one meal and (part of my education restriction) children and teens not being able to go to school.
-
Yep, those are the rules I based most of it on. The main difference I had was I don't really hold with the idea of a sole heir - if you were a descendent of the founder or a spouse of a descendent of the founder, you could lift a restriction. I also added an 'education' restriction, because I'm playing with Ambitions which…
-
It's another challenge from Pinstar (creator of the Legacy Challenge.) It was for TS2, but I found a TS3 conversion online and also made my own tweaks to it. The premise is a nuclear explosion had decimated SimNation and left only a few survivors. Some have formed an autocratic government and put heavy restrictions on…
-
Just to let you know, this project hasn't died, but alas real life has a habit of getting in the way, this time in the form of a busy period in my dissertation. :(
-
I agree, it certainly will be a huge challenge and CC would make it easier, but I'd like to make it available to everyone unless I absolutely can't. Nifscope looks like it could be a great help, thanks for telling me about it and for providing the links. I will confess that I haven't yet given that much thought about…
-
The way I see it, someone happy with CC can download anything and replace bits they don't like with their CC. However, someone who doesn't want CC on this computer/in their game can't download a world that uses it.
-
I'll confess that it did briefly, but then I thought why should I be put off by a non-believer? :wink: And now it's still going strong, although I am coming up to a time where I won't be able to do much ... so I'm trying to do as much now as possible.
-
I think it's rather rude of you to try and tell me what I can and cannot do in my own world. If you want a CC Atlantis, then go and build one - it's not like I have any rights over the idea. However, I'd like to make a non-CC Atlantis, I know how I'm going to do it (and it's not sticking SV on a funny shaped island) and…
-
I'd love to see how they turn out if you do them for yourself, but I'm hoping to go CC-free for the upload so don't go to the effort just for me because I quite possibly won't use them. I bet lots of people who download the world would like them, though... ;) I know, it was a good idea. I thought of getting LN to use them,…
-
Yes, you need to mess around with the strength and falloff sliders at the bottom.
-
I don't have LN, sadly. That said, I like to try and keep worlds base game if possible, it means more people can enjoy them whereas if you start mixing EPs in, it then depends upon people having the exact same combination... Besides, as we were discussing, no one knows where the islands are in relation to Atlantis. I know…
-
Wow, that was quick. I had to do some copying, pasting and rotating of parts of the map I found to readjust the piers, but it went quite quickly this time and there is now a new map with all the piers in the right place (I'm sure now!)
-
Ok... It occurs to me that I labelled the wrong pier the south pier (I do know why - I went by the shape of the 'pier fronts' on the map, which has switched the fronts of the south and north-west pier), which has thrown the whole thing off. So it looks like a new map is coming. :oops: Check back for the right map tomorrow.…
-
DT isn't so bad when you use the right method... ;) Your North Atlantic turn of the 20th century world sounds interesting, I hope you'll share it with us.
-
Atlantis has begun: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/444996.page
-
At first, I was terrified about how exactly I was going to start this. Then I found this wonderful map and, using some information gathered from the Stargate wiki, figured out which pier was which and edited the map into a height map. This is the result: Rough around the edges, but with some smoothing and flattening, it'll…

(Reserved for future use)
-
Ok, solved it. Trial version of Photoshop CS5 saves all. ;)
-
Eureka! I do believe I've managed to get a 16-bit PNG, so hopefully it can get going soon... ;)
-
My current plan is just build the base. There's no way to connect the islands to the base, it's not like we can actually use a stargate or fly there ;) ... so they would be a little pointless and, as you say, not accurate. Within my SGA World folder, I've included some Atlantis maps that I found a while ago. These have…
-
I tried to download Raw Therapee. However, because I only have Windows Vista 32-bit system, it's not compatible with my computer. I also couldn't find a plug in that I was happy about downloading for PSE9. Is there any other way of making a 16-bit PNG file?
-
It's because you don't have pictures. We're children, we don't respond if we don't get pictures. ;)
-
I think I may need to research by watching some episodes on DVD... ;) I'm trying to get the height map sorted. Once I've figured out how to save it in the appropriate format, I can actually get going in CAW.
-
Ok, I've been thinking and yes, I think it would be possible for me to build Atlantis (plus I've wanted to for ages, I need somewhere for my Carson sim to live.) It may not look exactly the same as the SGA Atlantis because CAW is a bit restrictive, but I will do my best on it. Be aware it's not going to be finished for…
-
This is rather strange... Somewhere in My Documents is a folder entitled SGA World. I'm not sure how it would work, but I've thought for a while that I would like to build Atlantis. Let me have a think on it's viability and get back to you.
-
But Amberland asked if CAW will mess up her game ... which it won't. CAW itself has bugs, but it's not going to mess up her game.
-
Pleased it got sorted. :) How's the blending coming?
Howdy, Stranger!
