Know What Is Inside Your Game: The Sims 3

Links to some tutorials found in our Forum:

I'll be adding some forum tutorial links here, slowly, as I come across them. So check back in a bit to see if there are more. :D

Official tutorial on seasonal lot markers:

NOTE: I do NOT recommend adding lots with the World Editor in edit mode, because it can cause a tear in the world layer and results in lag. However, the tutorial has great houseboat info and how to build docks, which you can still do on any already existing lot that has deep enough water, reaching far enough into an ocean. So the tutorial is worth the read.
