Create residential lot with skyscraper in CAW: thread for SimTecnologic

Hi, since modifying the CAW game, I tried to use the buydebug trick, I can choose and put any of the buildings labeled "Metropolitan Building" and use them as lots of apartments or change them to condominiums, using "RestrictBuildBuyInBuildings Off" to cheat to edit these buildings.
Thanks everyone for help ;)
Approffito x another doubt, I can then save the changes made to the lots and buildings built in EIG of the CAW, without creating problems in the Caw, right?

Right. You can switch between EIG and CAW, as long as you save your changes. However, it is always smart to make multiple backup saves along the way, so you can revert back to an older save if something gets messed up.

ok thanks for the advice, I will make backup saves: D
But I have a problem, I tried to save in EIG, after making lots, but it gave me an error screen, and it doesn't save uff T_T
I apologize if I continue to write in this post, but I can not open others being newly registered in the forum

writes: an error occurred while saving the file .... and then there is a number that I think refers to a lot or something in the lot ....
And the same error is written several times, I believe almost x every batch I have created

Hi, @TombRaider_ @Rflong7, sorry by chance do you know why I am not saving the changes in EIG mode? I'm sorry to insist, but I'm stuck at this point T_T

Hi :)
I don't know.
It could be your computer isn't good enough to process; I used to get it a lot before I bought a better computer but that was ages ago.
It could be your lot is corrupt. It could be CC (the old fall back answer).

1. You should always save your lots to the bin before saving in EIG (I do it while building them since I don't save in EIG until the end).
2. Make sure to clean your cache files before starting and the DCBackup (all but the ccmerged.package file)
3. Find the lot and delete it. The number is listed in your CAW in Property Browser - ID (iirc).
Make sure to save your lot first.
4. Try EIG again. If it's only that lot, it should be fixed. If it's your computer or CC (if you have it) it will show another lot.
5. Go back to a world file before it was not saving in EIG and find out what your problem it.

These are only from me guessing. I haven't had to find why in years so I'm sure I've lost a lot of information about it. :(

Hi, thanks: D
I think the pc is fine, I usually play the sims without problems with all the expansions, so I think it's not a problem to elaborate, maybe then it's a corrupt lot ...
I may have used CC, and I took a lot of it from one of the original EA worlds, and modified it to put it in my world though ...

I admit I didn't know I could clean the cache files before I started and DCBackup (all except the ccmerged.package file) ...
But do I have to clear all the cached files then?

E I did not quite understand where I have to find the lot to delete it and where the Property Browser - ID (iirc) is located in the CAW.
sorry for the further questions, I am a beginner with caw Y_Y sorry I was wrong to post

I always clean out my cache files from The Sims 3 folder and out of the WorldCache folder. :)
*I also clean the cache files from CAW but you don't have to.

The Sims 3 CAW takes more with EIG running then the game alone. EIG through CAW is a resource hog. I will usually use a bat file to open EIG without going through CAW if I plan just to place lots. http://modthesims.info/t/453161
*I think this is it.

What do you mean, "took a lot of it from one of the original EA worlds?" What did you use?

Why do you feel wrong to post? No one here started off knowing everything about CAW. I don't know everything about CAW and I've been playing with it since it was released. :)

Hi, for wrong to publish I mean that I quoted your message and I did send before putting my reply, so I made two messages instead of one XD
Ahh now I understand better, thanks for the detailed explanation, now I try to do as you said and tomorrow I'll tell you if it worked: D
From the original EA world, I mean that I saved a lot of lucy palms that I really like, (the Bistrot Cactus, I think it's called) and in EIG I tried to put it in the world I'm creating ...
