Fern Lake, my first attempt at CAW goodness.
Turd Ferguson:
It took a while to get my head around the controls, but most of my first custom neighborhood (outside of my Sims 2 creations) is finally taking shape. I thought I would share the WIP with you folks.
EDIT:
I've decided that since so many folks would like to mess around with this town, I'd upload the .world file. Rather than leave it as is and get all manner of complaints that so and so lot has bad placement or whatever. Well honestly I'm just tired of working on it and I'm lazy I want to give everyone the chance to tweak it a bit and learn how to use CAW yourselves you lazy peons.

Seems a bit puny and short on lots. Embiggen moar?
Turd Ferguson:
They're a lot bigger than they look, and I'm trying to keep the feeling of this being a small close knit close quarters town.
But on the subject of embiggening, is there any way while in the creator to expand the map without completely messing up the dimensions of everything I've laid down?
And has anyone figured out how to switch the vast sea with fake land? They did it in Sunset Valley.
CharmingFirewaller:
I love the map and bigger isn't always better so I'm glad you're giving it a small town feel. The huge lots in Sunset Valley actually drive me nuts cause I have trouble filling them up. I'm like, "Okay, I built a house...now what?"
I really like the town center. I don't have the latest patch so I can't get custom worlds to install but if I did I'd love to have Fern Lake in my game. :)

I'm not talking about the physical size of the lots themselves. I actually prefer the smaller lots. I was talking more about their QUANTITY. Remember: Unlike TS2, in which you could subject your neighborhood to Terrain Surgery any time and add more lots at will, in TS3, everything you put down is FOREVER. If you don't plan accordingly, and honestly, it looks like your neighborhood is about the same size as the existing ones, you will run out of space REALLY fast. Forever.
