So after looking at my first attempt at CAW I decided that I wasn't happy with how it was turning out due to my bad layout. The town hall was almost on the edge of the world, and I didn't want to rework the world so I decided to start over. I've been working on this world for a few weeks now and I like how it's turning out so far! :) It's a small world so I'm planning on fitting in as many lots as possible while still adding lots of detail. Here's an overview of the part I've started detailing so far:https://i.imgur.com/0DMBg9t.pngBoardwalk area:https://i.imgur.com/s8hsmzc.pngBridge to the residential part of town: https://i.imgur.com/tUYC8EU.pngSmall outlook over the ocean (I plan on doing many different lookouts around the town):https://i.imgur.com/NV1yKN5.pngAnd what I call "Hydrangea Lane": https://i.imgur.com/0UUdTZp.pngNow I have a question for you: Would you prefer the world to be only expansion packs or also include store content? Or I could make it use only expansions, and add lots that include store content as replacement lots?

You have been working hard and it looks lovely as a result :) In answer to your question I build my worlds for what I want to do with it. So I use store as well as expansion packs. If you plan on sharing, and you should :) then perhaps two versions might be the answer. You can never guarantee other players have the same store content as you. The other thing I have found is EIG can be very temperamental about store content. Too much makes it difficult to open without crashing.More pics when you are ready would be lovely :)

@Bettyboop55 Thank you! :) I've been having a lot of fun with it. I think that you're right that two versions might be a better answer or even replacement lots. I noticed that EIG has issues with store content so I'm currently only using EIG that has the expansion packs. I'll post more pictures when there is more progress :)

I have a small update: a small dock/fishing spot for sims on the canal. I had built this lot once before I raised the terrain to make it look like the docking ports weren't floating. I prefer the second attempt over the first attempt. https://i.imgur.com/DUYW7YU.png

Thank you @Hidehi :) I'm having a lot of fun working on it. Even though it's a small world I'm trying to make it as useful as possible.

Another update for the unnamed world: Got the town center figured out, and placed some rabbitholes to get a sense of space. Now here's a question: yes or no to the training center/petite pony rabbithole? If yes, it'll go near the upper left hand corner of the world. https://i.imgur.com/jeayED7.png

Your terrain sculpting and painting is fabulous and I think that dock/fishing spot is a great idea! Can't wait for more pictures! <3

@GraceyManor Thank you! I plan on putting it up for download when I finish it. :)

I love your icon! <3 I have horses IRL, although I haven't played much with sims 3 horses surprisingly. I should fix that.
