DO NOT EDIT WITHOUT DIRECT PERMISSION FROM DALUVED1
Key
|
This article uses acronyms, phrases, and colour codes which are explained below.
- CAW Create a World - Just a shortening of the program's name.
- EIG Edit in Game - This is pretty self-explanatory, it is the version of The Sims 3 that functions directly with CAW to allow you to build lots for your world.
- RED TEXT in screenshots indicates something is done poorly.
- ORANGE/YELLOW TEXT in screenshots indicates something that is acceptable.
- GREEN TEXT in screenshots shows a good outcome!

Programs Needed
|
- Create A World is the main program used in this material and can be found here at TheSims3.com
- S3PE is used to change things like sky and ocean colour in .world files. It can be found here at simlogical
- Photoshop .dds Plugin is a useful little plugin for Photoshop which allows it to read files in a .dds format. Find it here. Please note that this plugin is free, but Photoshop is NOT.
Paint Programs
- Paint.net is one of a couple of programs that can be used to edit terrain and road texture files. These are generally in a .dds format. Find it here. Please note, this program is free.
- GIMP is another program that can be used to edit terrain and road texture files. Again, in .dds format. Find it here. Please note, this program is free.
- Photoshop is, perhaps, the most well known of the paint programs, but it has one major drawback. It costs. A lot.
