Best off working from a floorplan or making your own floorplan, then. For my terrain, most of the lots are so small that I've been building exactly to the constraints of the lot. For my 9x9 three-bedroom, two-bathroom model, I did a floorplan so that I can use it as a base on other lots. Especially since it seems that somebody's hack is intent on giving me a new family each time I build a lot, so I'm always stuck with one homeless townie family.
Well, it ain't MINE. AwesomeStory never creates new famblies. Ever. There is simply no event that does this. The only reason new famblies would come into being is if a sim requires workmates for some reason, and I've tried to minimize the occurence of even that. You know I hate townie-bloat as much as you do: it detracts from the Puddingland experience to have random characters no one knows clogging the view.
It's early on, so I'm sure that is exactly what I'm seeing - work buddies. I only have five townie families. It just always seems to happen that I see a family has spawned, I check "listhomeless" to see how many are in the family and how much money they have, and I build digs for them. The moment Awesomemod places them in their new home (pretty quickly and predictably), a new family is spawned. Soon I'll be getting some spinoffs as one family already was made of romancers from existing households, and I have another couple that Awesomemod keeps sending for nookie in the mausoleum.

Another thing I'm having a small issue with is saving the image for the town as a 24-bit png. Gimp apparently isn't capable.
I've been doing mine in GIMP 2.6. You can either type the .png bit in manually or scroll down to it in the extensions drop down. You'll then get a box asking about the interlacing and stuff. Just choose the default options and it should work.

Does anyone know where the save file is after you install it? I wanted to see what my town looked like in game and then edit all the mistakes. I saved it under 2 different names, but apparently that didn't matter. It still says that the world is already installed even though I erased everything I could find that had anything to do with it. Also, even though it says it is already installed, it isn't in the list of worlds on the Main Screen.

To delete installed worlds without going through the launcher, delete the files in the following folders in your My Documents (XP):
- InstalledWorlds
- WorldCaches
- DCCache (Edit: Have to delete even if there is no CC)
To save a new version of your world, you have to change the name in the "Add/Edit Description".

Is there other way to quickly zoom in and out rather than rolling my mousewheel for thousands of time?
