Importing sims into CAW?

I wondered the same thing. But as I put cash registers in the stores I made and community buildings from the library into the world, people came with them and began filling all the houses I put in the town. Now my world is populated, and the Sim I made is no longer alone.
(In the Edit World mode you will find community buildings to place in your world.)

I forgot to add that I haven't figured out yet how to put Sim families I made and stored in the library into the world I'm working on. I'm thinking of changing households by making a household, move one out, make another family with that Sim, and repeat the process until I fill up the houses I have left with my own creations.

Hi again waverley77.
To import/package Sims into a world in CAW requires using a few NRaas mods.
Master Controller, DeBugEnabler & Porter.
You can find a tutorial by Kiwi-Tea @ Pasimfic Wiki on how to add Sims in CAW here
Adding Sims to CAW is an intermediate/advanced undertaking, but if you can get your custom flyover figured out, you'll probably be fine :wink:
Always keep a backup of your world in safe place.
Done wrong this process will corrupt world file & make it unplayable.
The FAQ at the top of this forum is an invaluable resource.
I'd recommend it as your first go to when looking for most things CAW.

Edit: A much simpler solution if you want to share a prepopulated world, is to offer a "save file" with Sims you've added in game.

Thanks guys :D I did know that when you add stuff like cash registers and bars sims automatically populate the world. I have found that forum before and I will probably sound really stupid...but those things are really hard to follow :(, but thank you very much :D

In the beginning these things are hard for most people to get the hang of.
The only real difference between folks that figure it out & those that don't is persistence(being stubborn helps) :wink:

Edit: You can use the Porter mod when starting any new game.
This mod let's you quickly populate your world with Sims from your bin.
Over the years I've collected many themed households to my bin.
If I'm playing a 17th century Caribbean archipelago or an isolated Mars colony.
I have households ready to go.

Yeah...I guess I was stubborn ages ago and people just got annoyed... so I don't do that anymore :/.
I actually don't know how to install mods... :lol: I've also read that they're bad for the game and I've already had to uninstall every single expansion pack in the past and start fresh because of custom content :evil: .
Thanks for your help :D I would like to know how to use mods though..:D

You don't have to completely re install game to get rid of problem CC.
If you check the technical forum you'll find info on how to deal with CC (good or bad)
Check crinrict's thread here.
The actual fix takes very little time.
I have quite a few mods & plenty of CC, but I can move my mod/CC files in or out of my game files in less than a minute.
Most mods have to be removed & updated whenever there's a game patch.
Out dated mods will break your game, but it's not like breaking a glass.
Once you remove old mod, problems solved :wink:

Ok cool, I'll check some out :D Just to let you know, you've been a really big help :D

Wait...so you need mods to make a populated world?

knh330, that's correct.
CAW by itself does not have the ability to add Sims to a world before exporting.
That's one of the reasons, very few user made worlds are pre-populated.
