You can help by alerting me of any new information out there you don't see listed, or you can write a tutorial of your own if you see information lacking. Just post with a link to the information, and I'll include it under the appropriate heading.

Hi Auntielynds,

I go by the name Libby over at the Dutch forum. And like you I like CAW. I'am not as good as you, I'am still in the making of my first world which will proberly take forever, but I'am getting there. And you play a big part in that. For me you are the goddess of CAW (too much?). So thank you very much for all the efforts you do for all the CAW enthusiastics.

Over at the dutch forum it's a bit lonely for CAW'sters. I'am trying, I asked the mods if they could make my CAW topic a sticky (becasuse there is no subforum). For now the answer is no (there are too many sticky's already). I also tryed tot make the pre generations CAW version available but I'am still waiting for a answer. It's a bit frustrating to get little response to my topics, especially because a lot of people need help with it (also at the dutch forum).

I want to ask you if it's possible to include my topics in you're topic over at the TS3 Creators' Consortium. I have no account there, that's why I'am asking here. I prefer that topic because I can only access this The Sims 3 forum If I change the language. TS3 Creators' Consortium is always easy accessible for everybody without any (language settings) hustle. In the CAW Library over at TS3 CC you also include a link to a Spanisch forum so I thought Dutch would proberly be oke too.

I made three topics:

* Creëer een Wereld Bibliotheek: ervaringen, tutorials, inspiratie
http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/356476.page

Because you cannot understand what I write in the topic (unless you speak Dutch) a translation:

Create A World Library: experiences, tutorials, inspiration
First post, summary:
- Introduction to the topic

- Lists sizes rabbitholes/public lots

- Build - EIG (also EP's necessary)

i try to take a picture for my thumbnail in Edit Game mode but it doesn't show any trees unless im up close & i try shift & print screen but i dont know if its working? what is supposed to pop up or where do i find it?

You can try a program like fraps. Mayby that will work and show the trees. Fraps puts the pictures in a folder which you can easily find. Only fraps will show everything so also the control panel but you can cut that from the picture with paint. Also there is a cheat which called "fadeObjects " (toggles whether objects fade when the camera gets close to them, does not apply to sims.)

After you take a picture with printscreen, go to paint and try CTRL+V and see if the picture shows.

PS. In Medievel with F10 the control panel conceals So, try the F keys when (before) taking a picture with fraps in The Sims 3.
