Create-A-World Tips, Tricks, and Annoyances
Rubyelf:
I appreciate any help I can gain from anyone regarding the following issue I am having.
The issue I am having is that I am trying to work out a way to create a river leading off into a waterfall which lands into the ocean.
This is a screenshot of what I am aiming at:
The problem is that I cannot get water where the "River" is as CAW does not allow me to place any more water there, unless I am missing something. I tried to Edit in Game and create a lot over the "River" to be able to create the river, but it didn't like that and ended up looking too broken, or it would automatically lower the water level (stupid EA).
Any ideas or tips on how I can accomplish this would be lovely.

Check out this thread at MTS. You may be able to use the existing river pieces in the same fashion, if you place one as described in post 26.

Yeah I found that Rosess, and tried to place them to see if it worked on my existing world, unfortunately it ruined it and made it look rather crazy. I've already done all the main sculpting/roads and buildings. It wasn't until just recently I decided I wanted a lake with a river leading into a waterfall to the sea.
Edit: I ended up giving up, as I can't add those layers after already doing so much. I used the "River" object and just moved it around to cover that spot and added in the rapid effects, looks rather nice.

Would it be too much to ask you to post some pictures to show what you're talking about? I was rather curious how this would turn out.

Sure:
That there is the end result of it after I've placed everything else down, it looks pretty nice in game. The only problem I found was, that while editing, I had to move it off map so I could target anything else as it was huge, and no amount of searching found a way to decrease its size.
As you can see from the above image the target box for it is HUGE. My city is almost complete, I'm currently working on placing in all the houses. It has 2 parts, a surbia part, and a city part, the one shown is the city part.
