Everyone loses without a CAW tool
I wrote this in the general forums and thought it belonged in here instead -- TS4's way of cutting corners is what's getting it into trouble. This time, if they had at the onset of the game rel...

CAW as we all know and love it will never happen for Sims 4. They don’t make the worlds like they did for Sims 3. Maybe, and that’s a strong maybe, once they boot out 32bit they could explore a world manager. Something along the lines of Sims 2 is much more realistic for Sims 4. They would need to supply a good amount of templates, not sure if that part is feasible, but that would ultimately allow players to create “new” worlds, which they could do-up themselves
Sims 2 had the Sim City 4 map system along with templates to save the empty made maps. They also had a Sims city editors and tool but none of that could work in this game - there is no Sims City programming I can see in this game engine. They would need to start from scratch - not possible to just add after the fact. Even to make an editor I could see all our present map getting messed up seriously because they use so many different tools. Sometimes simpler is better I guess.
Granted with this kind of game engine - I would never say never - it is not your regular game engine - for sure....
I wasn’t talking about that. Without SimCity 4 you could not make custom maps at all. I never said anything about making our own maps, reread my post. With Sims 2 base game you could load a number of different templates and turn them into a neighborhood like any other. THAT is what I was taking about.
Well that is precisely what CAW tool does is make the maps. Perhaps you just want editors or the templates then. That would be nice but they still did not let us mess with roads and such.
What you could do in Sims 2 was to design any type of world with roads and bridges all designed with SimCity4 then you just stuck that world file into the right folder in Sims2. It was very enjoyable to design them but I've forgotten half of the things I did with Sims 2 it's so long ago but still can be done as the City game is still available on Origin I think. SimCity4 Rush hour is still my favourite game from EA.
