Default Is there a way to replace road textures in a world without CAW?
Wasn't sure where to put this thread, so I put it here. Anyway, anyone know? Certainly there has to be some way. I've looked around but haven't found a concrete answer on this, so I thought I'd turn to the experts.

There is none that I know of. You can only edit roads in Create a World. It's fairly easy to take a world into CAW and change things around.

What world do you want to change? There may already be a remake somewhere.

Hylewood. I want to replace the asphalt road and sidewalks with the dirt textures that were used in the upper half of the world. The reason why I asked this question is because CAW doesn't want to work properly for me. Even though I have the version compatible with my game version (1.67) the Edit Ingame crashes, and whenever I export a world I edit and save using the program, the exported world doesn't want to install properly.

Do you have a mixed installation game? Some discs some digital? I ask because I found that caw wont let you edit in game if you do. I had to do an install using all digital versions from origin, i'm on 1.69. Since you're on 1.67 I assume you would have steam versions if you have digital ep's.

@HarVee Did you try opening EIG directly with this batch file?

It's all physical disc versions that were bought from a retail store.

I literally did not know such a thing existed, thanks for the link! I'll give it a go.

Do you know that the CAW files are available for Hylewood? https://nilxis.tumblr.com/post/1032...wers-gift-empty

What I do to make EIG work while using CAW is to take out my mods and DCCache Folders. If you are just changing roads - you don't really need those anyway. I don't have all my cool stuff but at least I can edit and save. If it still will not let you EIG/Save/Export while using CAW, after removing those folders, you can try to uninstall whatever is still in the launcher. (Just remember to put the mods and DCCache folders somewhere you remember so you can put them back once you are done editing. You can save any lots to the library beforehand if those are things you want to hang onto as well. You may not have to remove everything from the launcher - I did one at a time of my least favorite first and after a couple uninstalls it exported just fine.) Be sure to make a backup of your world before trying this.
