Hey, I am sorry it took so long for you to get a response! I never left for good, but ended up being forced into a year hiatus due to moving, losing my computer, new baby and full time college after all that. Life is getting a little more simple again - for now. To answer your question, there is indeed a way to get a CAW…

Oh my gosh, I feel terrible that I forgot to tell you guys that "World 3" files have been available for download for a while now. Not the completed world, but the heightmap, splat-maps and I think the CAW files that I had backed up - hopefully they work. The world machine files are better looking in my opinion than the…
-
I will try to get the heightmap and splat-maps up soon on my site. :) Thanks for asking! I might run a mild erosion over it in WM so you have the option of using WM splat-maps too, since world 3 was one of my hand-painted ones. Edit: And don't worry about it being private use or not, if you re-upload your version…
-
Nope, it was just an abandoned version that I decided to let CAW users play with rather than totally scrap the files I made so far. I will probably be coming back to this same idea in the not too distant future, especially since Lolalue has made tall pine trees and thistles that will go perfectly with it. So eventually I…

Don't be sorry! Trust me it was nothing you said, LOL, I tend to hyperventilate everytime I speak publicly - your sincerity comes through 100%. I am just hard on myself. :,D I thought back to the wording in my video and just found it ignorant when I remembered there are great hand-painters out there. I do hope this series…
-
Aw! Thanks... I hope I didn't come across biased against the people who prefer hand-panting, and actually rock at it (in the video, when I basically said that it "takes too long and doesn't produce ideal reasults...") I didn't think that statement through at all. I was speaking from the reality of many who try CAW and it's…

I've just started a YouTube series about my workflow using World Machine, CAW and Photoshop to make custom worlds. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpTVYmBKsPVJhaZgUkeCN7SCusSTH6IWZ

@ clayworld: Here's the main site for the procedural generator I'm using: http://www.world-machine.com/. There are a few programs you can try which I think Aminovas lists in that link you provide. It doesn't really matter what you use, it's just a way to create a 16 bit .png heightmap which you can import into…
-
Hehe.. well I hope this world provides plenty of fuel for angst and drama! I keep thinking of shows like Lost, Walking Dead, and stories like Robinson Crusoe as I'm working on it. Not sure if I will get struck by any ideas for pre-existing lots with flavor, but I hope to. It's sort of another builder's world so you can…
-
I hear you! I am so itchy to finish and play a wilderness that goes with a more modern, survivalist, or off the grid theme. And the good news is, I am almost done with such an island. (Spaceship/alien planet sounds like such a cool idea as well!) Thanks for the kind words. :) On this new world, surprisingly, the initial…
-
@ Queueing: Thank you so much for all the valuable input! I really have to get on these fixes. At least list the issues on my site. So sorry everyone for being in a big hole for a long time, and sort of just throwing it at you all when it was not done, hehe. Hopefully these irritations have been things you could fix in…
-
I have a world kindof like that with a beach and lots of forest. There's also a prairie, waterfall and a big river. The buildings are not in it yet however and the only catch is, it's roadless. You can place subway stations though, and it should work fine. Haven't heard negative feedback on the routing yet. There's one…
-
I know I said I was going to be lurking but I just can't ignore the kindness of this community. :) > @17mars You are welcome. :) I wonder how early/late in the warm season you came up here. One thing I can't really simulate in CAW is the dramatic color-changes of this valley as we go from spring to summer. So I tried to…
-
Guys, thank you so much for the kind words, and helpful input, truly... :) Anyways, just following up on this thing to say I have a beta up on my new site for world 4, and I'm also sharing there the download links to the height and paint layer maps for my unfinished worlds. There will soon be simple instructions for how to…
-
Just want to drop in and show my support. :D Your good taste shows, and I can't wait to try this gorgeous world.
-
niac1234, Nilxis, Rflong7, Elmawa, thank you so much for your supportive feedback! It means so much... ;_; Your input and opinions as to which worlds you like best was very helpful and it's inspired me to resign myself to finishing world's 3 and 4 before I move on to another one. I just really like to sculpt and paint…
-
I would love to try this world and the way you build cities, it's just so realistic! Keep up the amazingness! Hope it's finished soon. :D
-
Thank you so much! You are more than welcome to share your xperiences with playing without roads. You're so polite to ask, lol, but definitely could use any advice on that matter. :D I haven't played any myself for all that long, but enough to observe that things last for a few hours fine if there's plenty of sidewalks.…

Copied from MTS: I figured it out. I have a confession. I've spent so much time researching modding that I haven't actually PLAYED in over a year. The camera is behaving normally, and I was just paranoid from previous problems with CAW and my CC, and expected everything to be broken, lol. I hope that doesn't seem too…
-
Agreed... The camera issue does not have to do with routing as far as we know. The routing questions are just one possible spectualtion. Glad you don't think those "broken" lines are an issue. I suspected that about the sinking into the ground actually, lol... I've seen it a bit in-game. I think for some ground texture I…

Writin_Reg: NP! :) I made the post over on MTS, I'll be out for a while so you can go ahead and follow it here, in case it takes me a while to get back... http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?p=4171184&posted=1#post4171184. ...and I hope you didn't take my declining on the other worlds as contrarian, naturally, you…
-
Ohh, kay. Yes, Seasons is installed, but I haven't played it. Believe it or not, I have had WA forever, but I've never been to Egypt. I spend a lot more time making Sims and dinking with my creative side. Good that means I have one actual supposed glitch to worry about.. the grayed out camera settings in town view whether…
-
Totally agree, Ziwa Bonde is gorgeous and very "organic," just kindof flat. I just want something hilly/mountainous and that looks realistic as well. There aren't enough blank canvases good for creating one's own fantasy/mideival setting. Do you know anything about the camera bug I am having? Are those ripples in the…
-
I'm sorry for not offering a closer-up shot. Those big holes are actually painted non-routable. As for the "broken lines," I could be wrong, but this is my understanding: The other hole is actually just a visual effect because I was zoomed out quite a lot. Sorry for not providing a more clear image. You are right that this…
-
Sorry for double post! Okay I took a look at the thread you linked, Auntielynds.... In there you said: "...If you get a good export, then you know the problem was with your DCCache folder. At this point you'll need to reinstall all your store stuff, and cc you want in your game." I'm quite hesitant to remove the DCCache if…
-
That is a good point Writin_Reg. Though what I actually said was "My world is showing up in CC Magic even though I installed and uninstalled with the launcher." :) I think what's going on is CC Magic makes it's own duplicate... I'll take questions about that to a mod site, just hoped someone in here used it with CAW since…
-
Thank you for the link and advice! I guess I'll just keep winging it with CC Magic... The DDCache thing was a step I'd heard mentioned but haven't gone down the research road on it yet, but I appreciate that it's necessary, and I'll check that out and promise to get back to you with what I achieve. :) To export a world…
-
Very clear and exciting tutorial! Sorry if this question came up earlier and I missed it.. I was on a roll and then I was stopped by a difference in new and old Windows, I think... These instructions are no longer valid for me: There's no "files of type" box. I can "open as" but that just sends me to the internet to find…
-
You definitely CAN play and patch without internet! I had the same problem recently, and I asked this over in MTS forums and got all my questions answered! http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?p=4069229&posted=1#post4069229
Howdy, Stranger!
