Thank you! @chojrak, I always loved that about Tokyo, the modern mixed with the old.
and Thank you kindly ^.^ @Bettyboop55
@ImTheCoffee1: I am doing everything myself and this is my first time having a go at world making. I am learning as I go and boy does the CAW have a huuuuge learning curve.
You are soooo right, it is sooo much work! Some of the issues I've come across from doing a world, for myself are staying invested and interested and overcoming being bored, frustrated or feeling like giving up.
I guess being a little stubborn helps, cause when I come across an issue or something I don't know how to fix, sometimes I feel like giving up but then a little voice kicks in and says, " Uh no. You've started this, you're gonna finish this."
I started out by having the way I'd like the city to look like and then as I go fill in more trees, more buildings, go back to sculpting more painting and adding in more details. I also knew what I wanted so I made a list and as I finish making/adding I move it to a completion list so I feel like I'm actually accomplishing something.
Doing the world in chunks helps a little, once most of it is laid down. But then sometimes I really just spend a day doing one thing. (for example I am getting the hang of sculpting so yesterday I spent all day adding details and ridges to all the hills/mountains) I am in nooo way a linear planning type, I am very haphazard. >_>; probably not a good thing when planning a city lol
When I get bored of planting the umpteenth tree and feel overwhelmed I switch up things to like making townies or building exteriors, then switch to doing the interiors on a different day. Or skip CAW period and open up the city and look for routing issues or things I've missed/need to fix in game. (Actually lately, playing around with the townies has made me want to finish certain things even more; like where I imagine they go to work, live, play, etc or given me inspiration for a setting that I want to include.)
I will say if I ever make another world after this one, I am definitely going to keep it smaller ^_^;
