The worst place in the world where my sims could have ever crashed their F-14 Tomcat. North of the 49th Parallel in the middle of the Atlantic and you get all four seasons. Hope you like snow...

Inlet of "Faint Hope" - You try to swim across it, and you're going to drown.

Can't let 'em starve though. :D

This is the island where Commander Tosh "Animal" Nakamura and his (female) RIO are going to be stuck in for the next five generations custom-built by their ever-so-loving deity...the Watcher...ME.

Aren't I such a sweet Watcher? ~evil grin~

That looks great. And congrats on figuring out CAW. I remember trying several times to get my head around it and failing abysmally

A new little project of mine called Maple Island.

I'm making another little island for myself to play in...called "Maple Island". Yes, it's going to be populated by Maple trees. Depending on how adventurous I am, I might even stick a waterfall on this island. But keep in mind, these are my first fumbling steps into CAW. Misty Isle was just a "plunk a lot down and add a few trees" sort of thing...This one will be considerably different and I'm starting to find that the more I use it, the more intuitive it is...to understand. Maybe I'm just enjoying building worlds a bit too much. And I guess I'm inquisitive. It's framing and dealing with object creation in Blender that is going to give me a major league headache. With learning disabilities and all that (not using it as an excuse, but just laying it out there) I have to take things at my own pace to be able to learn them properly. So...here goes at my attempt at another decent world that I can play in that hopefully won't tax my computer too much.

About an hour and a half later, I've got this...coming up. And surprise...surprise...all my assets are neatly organized. It looks good so far. We'll see how it performs when we put it in game.

Update: didn't like the way it looked. Ditched it and started over.

:neutral: Well...um... OOPS.

Hi @Nikkei_Simmer :D ,

how awesome ... it seems you have caught the CAW-bug! ? ... Always fab to see new creations pop up in the World Builders section ... even if they are mainly used to torture poor sims ;) ??

OK...Maple Island is somewhat finished.

Bebe and Haruo's little retreat away from the hustle and bustle of Sunset Valley. After all...in this particular story-line they've both have been together for years as girlfriend and boyfriend...so why not just abscond together and get away from it all.

Their nice little Asian house in keeping with the Asian theme of the world. (ha ha...I can't even call this a "world" since it only consist of two community lots (a graveyard and a combo-marketplace) and the Chikamori's house. :mrgreen: Let's just call it an "island".

...wayyyyy out in the middle of the ocean. :mrgreen:

Everything Bebe could have ever wanted.

The combined marketplace works...at least in my game.

And our island mascot is "Krusty"...the spotted sixam. Can we have a few welcoming words to those tourists who would want to visit here?

Krusty: "LEAVE!"

I found the blogspot tutorials from krrank to be very helpful during my first few days using CAW (very good step by step instructions), but it looks like you got over the hump!
