BETA Version 1 Okay, I got it working, finally. Here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?60n953jjp4nac6t It's not entirely finished since I misjudged how long it would take me to complete all the buildings and such, but most of the buildings are furnished. If there are any buildings that seem only half-furnished, it's…
Oh, goodness, I've been having computer problems all day with getting it to export. I'm really sorry I couldn't get it up today, but I'll do my best tomorrow before I leave. Right now, about 80% of the buildings are done, since I ran a little short on time, but I'll still try and upload. Any ideas why it might not be…
Okay, so here are the possibilities I have so far: While taking a walk, I got the idea to make my own town, focusing on the lakeshore and beautiful and historic Fort Sheridan. I know I said before I wanted to do something far from home, but I feel I would enjoy making this. I like the mountain village idea. Here are some…
Yeah, my grandparents and many other extended family members live there. There's been pretty much the exact same weather pattern here where I am (Illinois). Scalding one day (making for an awful four-mile run), then fifty the next (ruining plans for a beach excursion). Madness!
Awesome! I'm going into overdrive and recruiting my mom to furnish homes in order to upload a beta version before my five-day trip to Michigan in a little over a week. Thus, I'm going to set the beta release date as Monday, June 20. Beta will have all the features that will be in the final release, except for the more…
I do like the Americana idea, but I'd really like something a little more out there, with a culture I'm not terribly familiar with. I do like the African idea as a possibility. That could potentially be fun.
Hehe, maybe, eh, 40,000ish? Hehe... If it causes problems, I'll make a lite version where the current clumps of trees are just outlined by trees and filled in with terrain paint or something. In testing on my computer, it seems fine, but who knows what will happen once it's fully populated and how other computers will…
PapaSmurf1: Wonderful pictures! I especially like that rock in the second picture. That'd be a fun feature to add. I'll keep it in mind. On the topic of a Canadian/mountain city, it's definitely a possibility. It would be nice to get away from tropical for a little while. My only thing is that I'd like some part of it to…
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that! My last day of finals was yesterday, so now I'm home free. Good luck with the end of school! Thank you very much! I'd definitely say it's large. It's made on the largest map, has maybe around 80 to 100 lots total, has a downtown, and spreads across much of the map. I'm not sure if I'll populate…
I love Los Aniegos as well! However, I'm currently in love with my almost finished Aantalia - it's just great to have that personal connection with a world, even if some are "technically" better. It's like my baby. :lol:
Thank you both! By the way, I figured out why I couldn't export - it was because I already had older test versions in my game. Once I deleted those, it worked perfectly. I'm hoping to get a beta version out in maybe a week. I'll have a lot more time now that summer is here. :D
I know what you mean, but what I'm having problems with is even getting the file to upload. The problem isn't when I go to the launcher to try and upload, it's when I click "select world to export" in CAW itself.
Thank you both! I have a question: I keep trying to export the world into my own game so I can test out a tomb I'm building, but every time I try it simply says "world export failed". I've exported it into my game before to do quick tests with sims, so I was wondering if anyone knows what the problem may be. By the way, I…
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned already, but I just uninstalled CAW and then downloaded it again, putting my usertooldata file on my desktop to keep my save files. It's working just fine now.
I have a quick question for anyone who may know. I preordered Generations so I'll be getting the OLS that comes with. So long as I don't use any items from either, will they be required for people to download the world? If it would cause problems, I'll put Aantalia onto my other computer and work on it there to avoid any…
Thank you so much! I'm hoping to have at least a beta version out in a month or so. All I've really got left to do is furnish the houses and community lots, which will take a bit of time but not a ton. Then, also, I'm going to populate it, but I might not bother for the first beta release. The update below is old - go to…
Thank you all very much! I made a ferris wheel over the weekend. :D It's on page one. Simmies can sit in one of the cars if you use the teleport cheat. :mrgreen:
Thanks! I made the condo using the CFE cheat. To use it, you type in "constrainfloorelevation false" (no quotes) into the cheat box. (ctrl, shift, c at the same time) Then, after I'd laid out walls in the shape I wanted the condo to be, I raised up a chunk of land to about the height I wanted the condo to be, added walls…
I'll make a heartwarming story where the IF saves a lonely kid from a solitary existence, because I'm just one of those people that feels guilt at hurting sims! :lol:
Thank you so much! I just decided to do a quick in-game test with a sim to see if the trees cause a problem, and for some odd reason one of the apartments costs negative money if bought unfurnished. I moved my sim in, and he GOT $40,000. I can't really say I'm surprised there are kinks to work out. :P
Maybe pictures could be permitted if they were made to be much smaller, such as entering "width=300, height=200" or smaller instead of the normal 600/400.
Hello! I like your decision to put up only completed worlds - it'll definitely help some of the clutter of the old index. Maybe I or someone else could just put up an informal topic for people who want to "advertise" WIP worlds (with pics and links only). Thanks for taking the time to do all this work!
Old update 4/29/11: This update includes: -The start of a new industrial district in town - a new company wants to remove much of the forest around Aantalia to gain a profit! -Some stylish new townhomes! Now your sim won't have to decide between apartment living and not being quite in the center of town. -A mysterious…
Thanks! I'll give that a shot too once it gets down to beta upload time, probably in fiveish weeks plus. I'm going to put an update on now, so stay tuned for it in about ten minutes.
