Map Size

compared to maps in sims 3, does anyone know what size map Island Living in sims 4 would compare with.
I know this is strange, but I would like to try an recreated it in Sims 3, Well I am not a builder but want to give it a try in CAW anyway
also the size like 256, 512, 1924, 204 8
  • Not really sure, but I'd say at least medium size which is 1024x1024.
    Or just use a large map and just start in the middle, that way you won't run out of space, then use the block camera paint around the edges. Might be useful, as well, to make sure you can make it deep enough for dive lots and still have room for everything.


    1 chunk = 256 Create a World and in-game grid squares.
    TinyFlatMap = 1 chunk / 256px by 256px
    SmallFlatMap = 2 chunks / 512px by 512px
    MediumFlatMap = 4 chunks / 1024px by 1024px
    LargeFlatMap = 8 chunks / 2048px by 2048px

    3 Chunks = 768px by 768px
    5 Chunks = 1280px by 1280px
    6 Chunks = 1536px by 1536px
    7 Chunks = 1792px by 1792px

    @KatyFernlily Thank you so much, a lot to learn, I hope I live long enough to do this. It might just be a lot of fun. I will check out the lot sizes and see how it goes. Nice that Sims 3 is a open world.
