O.K. Anyone tell me where I find the button to 'add a new layer'? Before I can put down a house I need to add a new layer, but I'm buggered if I can find it!
Right-click WORLD in the 1. World Layers window and then choose ADD LAYER. (from the user guide)

I exported my world. Now how do I get it into my game as a hood?

Share your worlds on The Sims 3 Community Exchange so other players can play them in their games!
To share a world:
First add a world description and an icon by right-clicking the topmost layer of your world and 1. choosing ADD/EDIT DESCRIPTION. Your icon image must be a .png file that is 256x256.
Save your world.2.
Under the File menu, choose SELECT WORLD FOR EXPORT and then browse to the world file that 3. you want to export and choose OPEN.
Finally, upload it to the Exchange (via 4. The Sims 3 Launcher) as you would a lot or family.
From MTS discussion board (I think):

When i first installed the tool i edited quickly SunSet Valley template and then exported the files...
Then i moved them at C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds and the game loaded it just fine

Next time, just go to Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Exports and double click the world. It'll start installing.
Now I can't give icon image to the world I created. "a .png file that is 256x256"? I created a 256x256 .png in paint, but then the world builder says "Selected file is not a 24-bit color PNG image". I tried to get some from google image, but none of them is 24-bit either. Help!

Zazazu I really like the layout of your world. The beachfront and the elevated plateau is wonderful and the small hidden beach looks great. Could you keep adding piccys as you develop it further, I am very curious about the outcome (perhaps not in this thread but in Pudding Factory if you would be inclined). So far I have mostly seen really shitty landscaping, but perhaps the really good ones need more time to develop before the sharing starts.
It looks small or are the roads just very large?

@Lion: You probably have to use GIMP or photoshop to save your .png file.
@Zazazu: Were you able to successfully use your hood with sims yet?
