Hello Everyone,

I’ve been working on a world now off and on for a year. My goal is to one day share it.
I have learned a lot from the forums here when I’ve been stuck, most the time it directs me to MTS and the solution is already here, thank you!

My world is quite small with not much cc in it but my issue is because I started so long ago, I honestly can’t remember what objects are in it from stuff packs I have. I did use all Ep’s.. I’m aware that I will have to go through and figure this out.

I didn’t keep track of all the textures either. So I’m worried that I might not be able to share this world when I’m done with lack of information.

I have much to do before it’s complete. I plan on populating it as well.

I’m looking for advice, please and thank you for taking the time here..

I should not say this here, but this is a reason that I probably will never try to upload a world here. It is just too complicated vs one click and it is on the exchange. Custard can show some things but I know is not accurate from some tests I have done in worlds I am doing.

Let's see some photos!

hmmm, can I just say how grateful I am to the people who did upload their worlds, imperfections and all? :-) I could see a noob who had just started playing a recently-released game to be upset when items are missing but... we are all grownups here who are playing a very old game, and the expectations are different.

I'm a returning player who misplaced all their disks --but I wouldn't have bothered buying the Collection Bundle on steam if I couldn't find a nice world for all my stuff. Anyway, you are totally allowed to do what you want of course but... is there really an expectation that everything in a world will be perfect? I mean, it takes so long to make one, or even to "just" revise one, I have literally never heard of any world being perfect.

The world I downloaded, is currently missing bridges!! LOL That's my fault and it's fine, seriously. I have all the packs, expansions, store sets and worlds etc. I'm guessing most people do at this point? But, because I AM a returning player (haven't played since 2013), I wanted to go a little slow, to get to know each expansion a little bit, before dumping them all in my game at once. Right now I only have World Adventures and Ambitions in my game, will add the others over time. Came back today to see if it was mentioned anywhere which pack the bridges came from. But if not, I don't care, they will show up eventually and in the meantime I will probably play Twinbrooks or maybe something else.

Anyway, hope you have a great day, and happy simming!

[edited to add] okay now I am gonna cry. The creator of that world used a custom recolor for the bridges and of course the file is no longer available. All that work, just wasted. Not sure I am smart enough to figure out CAW.... hmmmm.

Not sure if you’re still around a year later. Wow I’m a shit lol! I ended up scraping the world. The routing was bad. Now I came back because I’m in the final stages of creating another world. I honestly forgot I even created this thread and just stumbled on it. I feel bad and so sorry I didn’t reply. I do have images of my new world if you’re interested and still here. A lot can happen in a year though so if no reply I understand.

I'm sure there are lots of people who would like to see your world, please do post images!

Omg! Hey Sample! Thank you I will. I was going to playtest a bit today or tomorrow and take some pictures and I will update here.

Yes, please post photos.

Oh hey Daisy) okay, honestly I’m not happy with it yet. I still have a lot to do but again having issues with routing. I thought a mini world would be easier lol! I just realized today that I have to fix the bridge 🙄
I just want it to be tropical and small but have enough things a sim can do. Anyways this it so far)

Today I’m trying to figure out diving spots and link caves

It looks very nice. And you will get the bridge fixed I am sure.

Hey Daisy! So glad to hear from you! Thank you I really appreciate your support. I had to stop myself and just keep it simple now. I have a few more things to do and I'm hoping to have some people play test it. I used a few of Simsamples lots, her world Jericho really inspired me to try again )

Your world looks very nice! Great job! The easiest way I've found to work on routing is to turn the grid and routing views on and everything else (objects, flora, trees, etc.) off. Then carefully look for isolated dots and dots with broken lines between them. I also like to be sure that all dots around the edges are connected as well. Use the single grid/square brush to paint non-routable paint or routable paint as needed to fix problems. Be sure to refresh the routing afterwards and check again. Hope this helps!

Oh Thanks so much! Great tips) I'll try this. Definitely helpful!
