Create-A-World Tips, Tricks, and Annoyances
Zazazu:
Ah, I see. I hadn't known that was possible. It makes sense that sims would be walking half-on, half-off your mini sidewalks since on the normal ones they walk at the midpoint. Love the sidewalk texture you used. The walled off pathways are definitely a cute effect, but would look just as good with the proper spacing. Honestly, as a sim, a one-tile walkway would be uncomfortably claustrophobic.

I am considering uploading a set of custom road textures when I finish. Yeah, it was pretty claustrophobic :D. The last tiles bordering inside of a lot are to be considered too in small space. Not being able to build walls on the edge of lots, I tried to leave at least two tiles around. Most of the houses there is a place to plant a row of vegetable garden plants and walk to the back.

Nice, it looks great. CC definitely works in CAW. AwesomeMod even popped up with the outdated message in EIG once :D. When I tried to install with the launcher it did extract it to the right spot. It just wouldn't show up in game. I think the patch broke the launcher for some. Moving any .world files to the folder location I posted a page or so back in this thread will register the new world in the drop down menu for sure.

We both like the tiny. I started in the tightest area of my neighborhood, so most of the homes there only have a one-square buffer on all sides but the road, which is two or three spaces. Then only one space between lots. With an itty bit of landscaping, only one lot in the first built block actually has space for a tiny garden, and that because I built the house around a gem spawn spot.
Fun cramped real estate. Looks are deceiving...most are two or three bedroom homes with at least two bathrooms.
Only house on the block with garden space. I didn't have a good photo...I shot this one to show Reid Powers, the 'hood manwhore, visiting two of his paramours after his wife went to work. The glass-walled hallway has a door in back that opens onto a 4x4 area with a gem spawn point.
More spaced-out homes on larger lots. The area on the right is a fake abandoned, overgrown warehouse where I've planted a lot of harvestables.

I hope you plan on uploading the final version of your world Zazazu. I downloaded the empty one, and liked the layout a lot, but I'm not the world's greatest builder.
