Hi guys and thank you for clicking! I’m all new to the forum. This is my first time posting and the first world I’ve build in CaW. Feel free to leave constructive criticism of the world in the comments – if you find something about the world off, odd or lacking you are more than welcome to say it. It will help me make the world better!I am a slow worker, but I plan to post about my progress here regularly!Goals No CC (custom content) No mods Inspired by Mediterranean cultures Time period late medieval or renaissance (I'm not sure yet)About the worldThe world is called Pan Nymira (I named my account after it...). I have some lore, though I’m not sure it’s relevant, but since I’m a big fan of storytelling I just can’t help myself, haha. The world has a lot of nature, but the city is quite big and compact (1/4th of the map) and squeezed into one corner of the world. There’s going to be a palace and four castles or mansions. I have issues with Edit in Game, so I’m not sure when I can actually build lots. I love waterfalls, so there’ll be at least five or those, a forest, fields and some hidden lots spread around. It should feel like, even if you leave the city, there’s a lot to explore. PicturesI couldn't figure out how to post the pictures directly in here (the image option doesn't seem to work, but the link one does perfectly), so I setup a gallery on imgur by this link: https://imgur.com/a/2OGH05II hope that's okay. First some overview pictures. I have removed the fog so you can see the world clearly, but sadly that removes the ocean and rivers, so it looks a bit odd. I couldn’t zoom out enough to see the entire world at once, so I took two screen shots and tried to overlap them. The odd line in the center is a result of that. I hope the pictures can help you get a feel of the world and how it looks.

Wow it looks great so far!! I love the terrain painting of the rivers, and your island looks very natural (your terrain sculpting in general looks very natural)! Adding the lore in is a great idea, a lot of us love backstories :) I can't wait to watch the development of your world!Oh, and welcome to the forum!! <3

Your world looks awesome already. If this is your first CAW world it is going to be great. I hope you share more pictures soon.

Update 1 (May 16 2019) - FarmlandsThank you for your comments! I find them very encouraging. Sadly, this is a very small update, since I'm busy with my final exams. I'm looking forward to being finished with it all and hopefully more will happen with this world when I'm done in about a month. That being said! Here's the update: I've been working on the farmlands. It's so hard to make fields look believable and right, so I did a lot of remakes of them, and I'm still not sure I'm satisfied with it. I've put down some lots too, most of which will be fields with fruits and vegetables that sim can nuture and harvest. I've also put down the nectary lot and one of the total four large mansions, called Tiera. I'm using the cypres trees to indicate something that is (not exactly royal, but definately) higher class, which is why they are planted along the avenue that leads to the palace, and now also to Tiera. I'm pretty sure I want to replace the storage shacks with a lot and build something that looks more in the style I have planned for the world. But for now, it sits there... I've added pictures to the album (still here: https://imgur.com/a/2OGH05I ) below the old ones. If you have any critisism of the farmlands and/or how to make them look good, please help me! Haha!

Looks great so far! I also struggle with EIG (it's REALLY unstable for me and crashes often) so what I do is I finish the world building in CAW (sculpting, painting, putting down all the effects, spanwers, trees etc) then I export the world and build them in the actual game. When they're done I save them to the library, then just load them into EIG and save after every 1-3 lots (do NOT alt tab!). Then if EIG crashes all I've lost is the loading time for plopping the lot down.Best of luck on your exams!

This is looking really good :) . I already love the view of the harbour towards the mountains. I think the lighter blue for the ocean will work well too.

This is looking great! I love the multi-level sections, they look fantastic! And I have to say I'm also a fan of the lighter blue water, it adds extra depth :)

This looks grogeous. I love the different levels, they make the world so diverse. I love that lighter blue water too, I think it looks ideal <3

Your world looks really amazing! I definitely like the light blue water - it definitely gives your world a Mediterranean feel. I also like the lore behind your world; it reminds me of the works of Ancient Greek philosophers like Plato, which of course helps show off your inspiration from Mediterranean cultures. :)

Update 4 (January 23) - Finishing Sculpting

It's been a long time. I'm sorry about that. A lot of stuff happened IRL, but hopefully I now have more time to work on this project.

Edit in Game issues
I've also tried getting a fix for my Edit in Game issues, but sadly nothing has worked for me, despite spending more money and energy on it. It makes sad, angry and very frustrated, but I guess I just have to realize that it's not going to happen.
The plan, for now, is that I finish the world as much as I can in CaW and then upload it without any buildings, as an empty world.
Maybe I then can download it and build that way and then upload a finished version. I honestly don't know.

Pictures!
I have finished the "backside" of the island and as stated in the first post, I want it to feel like there's still something to explore there.

https://i.imgur.com/UjLiOAR.png The harbor (and generally the outskirts of the city) will have houses that are just a little bit smaller, though I still plan to make the city look quite homogeneous. The harbour area will have some bars, warehouses and stores.

Here's a part of the "backside", where there will be some ruins. Why are there ruins? What's up with all the shipwrecks? What happened here? Why? Reasons... ;)

On the other side of the mountain range is a secret village - you have to find your way through two hidden pathways to get to here. Who lives here? Why are they hiding? Reasons... ;)

Here's a cove where smugglers and other unwanted trade goods, because of course nothing of criminal nature is allowed in Pan Nymira, so they have to hide where noone will go look for them.

This should look familiar. Aerie Island. In the (technically not a?) lagoon I will put a mermaid lot, if such a thing is possible(?). I really like the hill-like lower end of the mountain range - I think it's the best sculpting I've done! ^.^

So yea... I think that's it for now. Hope you're all having a good time!

Hey welcome back! ^.^ I really like what you have so far! You've really put thought into planning the world out. Oh man, I totally understand your frustrations, I just had a similar problem and spent a good portion of two weeks trying to figure out why EIG kept crashing when I placed lots...finally found a solution but it was quite disheartening. Hope you find out how to fix your issue...what is it if you don't mind me asking?

Ugh Origin, the origin of many a headache, lol. I switched to steam when they had the $5 sale for each expansion. Did using Super Caw instead not work either?

I don't know, I just saw it as a second suggestion in this thread for issue #2 which is the social thingy.
