I was just wondering if there was a way to edit the outside of lots in the sims 4, I do know of T.O.O.L. but it doesn't have the functionality that i'm looking for. Is there anything out there that lets you edit the ground specifically? Thanks in advance, Keith
@KHLVH1345 there's a terrain tool in build mode where you can raise and lower terrain, add ponds, paint the ground with different grass, dirt and gravel. Is that what you are looking for? If so, in build mode it's on the right hand side of the build section images. I'm not looking at it right now, I've just switched off my console but I think it looks like a pile of dirt with a spade if I remember correctly.
@KHLVH1345 Hi! I did a little research and was not able to find a mod that allows editing of the ground off lots. However, it seems TwistedMexi announced a Create A World mod about a year ago. So far, the most current update I've seen is a video he shared five months ago and there's no telling how long it will take until the mod is ready for public release. It does look pretty cool though so maybe check it out on his website, if you're interested.
@simsplayer818 Hey! I understand your frustration. :-( I think I should mention this new mod that TM is working on doesn't allow for adding lots, if you haven't already looked at the site. It's only for customizing the surroundings within the world. I'm certain there are lots of people who would enjoy this kind of thing but I have to wonder if there is a big enough customer base to warrant EA creating something like it. For me, I think it would depend on how easy it is to do. Personally, I get irritated with manipulating terrain and such just building within the existing lots. I can't imagine wanting to spend time editing the worlds. On the other hand, there are times that I do wish I could make the area surrounding my lot look the same. Many times, the sidewalk or the bricks or the grass look so different that it can be distracting (and possibly triggering for someone with OCD). Anyway, as I was looking at some of TM's videos, I noticed some viewer comments related to the fact that there are so many things like this that are addressed by mods so we know it's possible. Perhaps there are enough people who would pay for for a CAW expanson? Perhaps EA could even get away with charging more than the usual price for something like that? Who knows? Yes, if not for TS4, then hopefully they'll consider it for the next gen game.
