Do you customise worlds before playing?
For me whenever I start a new save or world, the first thing I do before I start playing is always to put my own townies into the world, place useful lots like clubs, junkyards, occult lots, etc in, r...

I’ve never really bothered with customizing EA worlds. I generally play them as is. I may put a few more lots down if needed but I don’t want to mess with the current layout of the Sims 3 EA worlds. I tend to treat them as fragile because they are. You tweak the wrong thing. routing becomes gimped, and then you got problems.
Now a blessing that EA gave us was CAW for those who really want to delve in and create our own customized worlds.
Now I want to make a “Vancouver, BC” world, more detailed than the current Sneakfeline world I currently use. And I’m going to try to make it as close to the actual city (since I live near that city. I may actually try to rip assets from FSX and mesh buildings to go with that world. Iconic BC Place and Roger’s Arena - try to turn that into rabbitholes. The Telus Science Centre, Skytrain?!! Sure wish there was something akin to a non-ITF Monorail system available in Sims 3.
I will try to do every major arterial route through Vancouver: Cambie Street, Burrard Street, Broadway, Hastings, Alma Street. 41st Avenue. Main Street. Just the major arterial routes. Kingsway is going to be a pain cutting through at a diagonal and then connecting to Main Street which then punches straight through to Chinatown and Gastown. The edge of the world will be Boundary Road (the eastern edge of East Vancouver. I may touch North and West Vancouver a bit but I’ve never really spent much time on the North Shore so I’m not as familiar.

This would also have to be a homeworld university with UBC. So I have to make UBC too as well as the buildings to go along with it.
Vancouver West End is really gonna be tricky because I’m not going to want to include YVR since it’s actually Richmond, BC.
This is a heckuva world to tackle and probably not for the faint of heart. But then again…I was always stupid and never really knew when I bit off more than I could conceivably chew.
