Create-A-World Tips, Tricks, and Annoyances
Zazazu:
Does anyone have a terrain paint they've been using to mimic sidewalk? I'm trying to work on this new world, but having issues with blending certain areas.
Zazazu:
Sorry, double post due to it being two days and having something majorly useful.
My not-so-secret Sims community builder crush, Flabaliki, has released a two-part tutorial for CAW. It has some useful tricks not mentioned here, such as changing time of day in order to better see your sculpting. The first section is here:

You can get to the second from there.

That's a good tip.
I have yet to find a way to make good-looking mountains like those in the EAxis height maps.

I've been trying to use a custom height map for a world, and it's squishing it to half dimensions one way and duplicating it. That is not what I had in mind. Does Anyone know what I'm doing wrong, and how I can fix it?
LauraW:
Dragonarts, what is the highest altitude on your height map? If it is over 300, it will be reduced in size. When you open the height map, it will ask you to choose a height in CAW and the highest is 300 so your height map will be scaled to whatever number you choose for the CAW map. I had the same issue when importing but once I starting selecting 300, it was much higher. Now..I haven't tried to import a height map with a low altitude, but if you do CAW might scale it depending on what number you choose for maximum height. I would try the different scales in CAW to see which one looks good.
