Editing pre-made and saving pre-made worlds

Hi :)

The information is out there. Plus, they have a site so you can ASK for their world files.
You'll have to learn how to add Sims to CAW and build all of it.
(it's much easier for you to ask for the files or search for the answers)

It'd be easier for you to make a Save of the World in game with the edits, then make it a back up for when you want to play it.
If you didn't want to share it, there's no big need in editing someone's world in CAW.

Google Cawster and http://nraas.wikispaces.com/How+To+Get+A+Downloaded+World+Into+CAW
I edit every custom world I've ever downloaded. I fix broken routing, take out extra street lights and street signs or move them off the roads, take out jillions of trees and bushes, redo roads so they make sense, recolor terrain painting, move lots around or make space for my own favorites, etc, etc.

No offense to any world creator - I just like adding my own personal touches. I never "reshare" these worlds as they are for my own use and how I like to play. And I find it very very fun to do!

My roads make sense. I hope you don't download my worlds. I find it rude to do without asking. Especially since I shared the empty versions to edit- and add all your own lots.
It's a lot of hard world to start from the beginning- which I guess you could do if you only tried. @KatyFernlily
Why don't you do your own worlds?

@Rflong7
Your worlds are some of my favorites.I rarely ever have any issues with them and so much space to add other lots in.I don't see the need or understand why someone would need to go about editing it and changing it.Why download a world if you're just gonna change it.Just build your own the way you want is how I see it.

Thanks @Springfairy556 That's so sweet. :cookie:

I don't mind people removing all the lots I built *(I Love Seeing what people do with the words I create even removing the lots).
I don't mind them using the empty versions to add their own lots; to use the in game editors to edit the trees and lights.
I have even let others upload their versions of my world After they asked. It's no big deal to give the creator a little recognition. That's all it is- let us feel our months of creating, testing, redoing and planning for not only every lot, road, and tree- but to know that anyone feels pride in tearing them apart in CAW and thinking it's 'making it their own by Fixing it" is insulting and always, not matter how many years I hear it, it always makes me sad (and maybe a little angry). 8 months I spent on one world and someone thinks they can make it their own. :lol:
No, you can't. It's my imagination.

Advice on what to do? Make your own world. Learn to use CAW for your own worlds- it's more fun that way.

No, my worlds are just out there being good little worlds. No need to see them now.

I don't download your worlds - as I already know how you feel about this even tho you say "(I Love Seeing what people do with the words I create even removing the lots)."

I don't make my own worlds because I work 2 jobs and have limited time.

I would suggest if you do not want people editing your work, don't offer them for download.

Oh, never thought of that, @KatyFernlily :mask:
Editing the worlds is not the same as opening them with S3pe and "making it your own." You have enough time to take a world in CAW and edit it to what you think it should be, you have time to create in CAW. It's the same thing. :lol:

Also- very rude. I'm sure if they needed to find my worlds they could have looked there. :-1:

I never said that I edit worlds "to make them my own". In fact, I consider every world an original creation by the person who made it - I leave the world itself intact. What I edit is just fluff that I like to have or not have in my game. For example, I almost always add a waterfall somewhere if a world doesn't have one to begin with. And street lights on roads...no thanks.

I don't think you should be offended if someone wants to shift things around in one of your creations - you should be flattered that they find your work good enough to download to begin with! And once again - I DO NOT download YOUR worlds.

I don't share my edits or post pictures of them anywhere. I'm the only one that knows I edited anything unless of course I tell someone.

It's not "fluff." It's the world. I just don't see what the big deal is in making your own. You think you know about fixing broken routing and remove jillions of trees and making sense of roads, then do your own world- is my Philosophy. I believe you'll get more joy and satisfaction from the accomplishment of your own world.
My roads make sense- and anyone who makes a world, they love their "fluff."

I'm not flattered unless they ask. That takes courtesy and appreciation of the creator/creation by the person.
