Someone with the Sims 3 Create a world tool made this right here, you can add this to your game for free. https://i.imgur.com/0b8Sgp9.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/ZgZsHuX.jpgIn my opinion this world looks better than all of the Sims 4 worlds combined. It's crazy how much the community is capable of and limiting that creativity is a big issue with the Sims 4 to me. The Sims desperately needs to give us a way to make our own worlds again not just to avoid EA capitalizing on selling worlds and marketing them as "features" but also because of how creative the community gets with them.

@ClarionOfJoy Imagine if we could make a mermaid-world in the Sims 4, or even a new city world to play in apart from San Myshuno. The Sims 4 is unfortunately so limited when it comes to the environment, even the Sims 2 pulled off world-customization. At least in an early 2000s way.

Being able to create and design your own worlds would make the game not so boring so quickly. I'm thinking it might be the weak engine? But if not, hopefully, TS5 will have this capability again. More people would want to buy and play it in that case.PS: People are STILL creating new TS3 worlds. This game never gets boring! <3 One reason is EA/Maxis does not want to tamper with performance side of Sims 4 and for me that does not make Sims 4 sound positive. :(

That world looks amazing! ? I may just have to download and try it out.Here's the link if anyone else is interested.https://modthesims.info/d/641836/mermaidia.html

I'd be even happy with something like "build/put together". Some pre-built neighbourhoods, you choose some and place them wherever you want. You'd pick the weather for each season, you'd choose the terrain style (grass, etc.) for each neighbourhood, etc.

If the community was allowed to make its own worlds, people like me would cram their game with huge, gorgeous worlds filled with lots. Unfortunately, in TS4 that could spell disaster for game stability.

Why we need a Create A World tool back

Oh yeah that is true. The game is pretty unstable as it is already. Hopefully they will consider it when making the Sims 5.

Isn't there an open world mod out already for TS4? I think the modder said you can create new neighborhoods with his mod. That's something!

I forget its name, but Lil'simsie did a review of it a while back. One very impressive mod that makes the game (or at least that world) more like TS3 than 4.

I created many worlds in TS3's CAW. I downloaded even more from fellow creators. CAW is hands down one of my favorite tools for a sim game and I miss it just as much as I miss the ceiling tiles. Where the hell are the ceiling tiles ???

The first 2 things on my wish list for Sims 4 when it was released was weather and world customization/ creation.

I'm not interested in the mod. It doesn't do everything I want. I'd rather have all or nothing.

Agreed. CAW needs to be implemented officially by EA! I think that there’s enough demand for them to take this seriously and they’ve never ruled it out like they did with open world and CAS.
