You should post it like this Simsample   ...when you want to run your patched version of the CAW tool, you should go to [Install Location]\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 Create a World Tool and run WorldBuilderCS.exe. /me giggles innocently and adds a ton of explanation marks and more alarms to the above bit inside her head eta makes brain to hurt if you stare that too long... ^^ |

*breathes heavily while marveling at the SUPER-CAW* Oh-My-Loooord... This... This has absolutely everything I've ever hoped to be possible! No more tedious going back and forward with complicated steps to get a single effect or a pond into a world...! How can this be, ah this is just too good! THANK YOU SO MUCH for this discovery and such a simple, easy tutorial! You guys are effing heroes.  edit: OMG you can have EVERY SINGLE EFFECT from the game in your CAW?! I'm seriously tempted to give my world constant rain or snow now, it looks so amazing! |

Thank you for this! Just an fyi: On the ILSpy download page, there are two versions. I first downloaded the newer version and could not get the patch to complete, no matter how I tried with compatibilty, run as admin, etc. I went back and got the older version and it worked flawlessly. Not sure it affected anything, I am running Win 7 x64, I set all .exes to copy yours=set to compatibilty Win XP SP 3 and run as admin. I understand I'm an idiot.... I am not familiar with CAW at all and I only want it for one thing (so far) which is I want different vacation spots! (Stupid of EA to limit these! I suppose there is a reason, but knowing EA it probably has more to do with them wanting to sell vacation spots in future rather than the software not being able to handle more!) Now my question : I can't find the World Desription box at all. A finger pointing the way, please?Edit: Yes, I've been thru all the tabs and I see in your description where it is supposed to be only I can't find it. I'm looking in the wrong spot? I've looked in all tabs though.  The pond tool is there, so I know the patch worked.

I saw an interesting Twitter exchange with SimGuruGraham about these tools that I think needs sharing in this thread: Quote:
So basically, we should watch carefully for issues with the Pond Tool, and perhaps those of you who were making custom water planes should investigate. He did not give any information about *what* was wrong with the water planes from the Pond Tool. MTS should probably also, for the time being, require a disclaimer on uploaded worlds made with the unlocked tools. | |

He may be referring either to the fact that the pond tool isn't very easy to use (it requires certain kind of terrain sculpt and careful placement, you can't just place it anywhere) OR that there are some issues resulting from ponds created with the tool. And from his answer, it's hard to determine which one he meant, it's quite an vague answer... I have hard time believing that the ponds themselves would cause issues, considering that EA worlds have ponds. I don't see how the method through which they are made would cause issues... but I don't know technical stuff at all, so I'll leave this to somebody who does! |

That's how I feel as well. It's his use of the word "internally" that bothers me - "problems internally" is a very ominous pairing of words. |

Thanks for the info, ChildLike! On my tutorial I do specify to download the 1.0 version of ILSpy, so hopefully people will download the right one. Thanks for letting us know! kiwi_tea- Perhaps the water planes generated by the pond tool are slightly different to the EA world planes? I think Zaide_Chris or SandrineD would have to look at that for us! The EA planes, such as those in Twinbrook and Bridgeport, are of a specific size as are the ones generated by our water plane tools. The planes made with the pond tool however, will go to the extent of the buildable world unless intersected by terrain, so possibly they are formulated differently. |

hello i got a lil question i saw when i wanna export my world using this modified CAW that i can label it VACATION. so i thought i just try it out..and made a small caribian island..labelt it VACATION and then exported it. i could install it. so now i dont see this town in the main options so i went to sunset valley and checked there if i can se eit as Vacation spot..but i cant find it..not in edit town (where i see the normal 3 vacation spots)..and also not when i try to travel with my sim..still only have the normal 3 choices. does this mean i still have to use the traveler mod if i want my island as a vacation spot? i thought this CAW modified would help me so i would not need this mod anymore. has someone else tested this?? |

Sinfonia- see here for the implications of flagging your world as a vacation destination: http://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=424374 You are correct that it will not show up in the list of available worlds, it will not show up as a vacation world either unless you make a default replacement for the EA destinations! You need to undo that to have a usable world. It is possible to make a default override for the EA vacation destinations, but a better way to have many more vacation worlds is to install Traveler Mod: http://nraas.wikispaces.com/Traveler You can 'unflag' your world either by manually editing the UNKN 0x296A6258 resource, or editing it in CAW again and removing the vacation flag. |

Yes, NRaas Traveller mod makes custom vacation worlds appear, but *only* in the travel window and not in the new neighbourhood drop-down which is nifty in its way if your world is built to be a "somewhere else". |

sigh....No Worky! I'm getting the same error already mentioned several times in this thread. However I did realize my Sims 3 is installed under Origin Games folder, and CAW is under Electronic Arts folder. I'm going to try reinstalling it to the the same folder as my Sims games. Will be back to edit with more info / updates later (hopefully sooner).  EDIT 1: Ok, I am now safely past that step! Aside from not having CAW in the same folder as my Sims installs, I realized I'd also downloaded a version of ILSpy other than what was specified in the tutorial. I did NOT need to use the ILSpy Difference patch. The two corrections I made were to install CAW into the same folder as my Sims 3, which was in an Origins Download folder, and to use the earlier version of ILSpy. On to the next step... EDIT 2: holy crap, look at all these effects!!  P.S. You may want to move the part about how to make the desktop executable shortcut, from the end of the features section to the end of the tutorial section. I didn't read that far at first, and was silly enough to ask my husband the electronics engineer how to do it, which almost put me to sleep :D |

Well done for getting it working, Margaret Pendragon! Thanks for the tip about changing the article, were you people never taught to read ALL of the instructions? Didn't you ever have to do that exam at school, the one where the first thing says 'Step 1: Read ALL instructions through carefully before beginning!', proceeds with things like, 'Step 2: Shout 'I am a DONKEY'', 'Step 3: Write your name down and hold the paper up above your head for 10 seconds,' and ends with, 'Step 45: Now you have read this through, do nothing'?

I put the bit about the shortcut in a separate section, so it's listed in the index. I wanted to keep it in that order as of course, when you debug it opens SuperCAW immediately, so most people would be busy playing with that before thinking about making a shortcut. Do you think it reads better now?

Daniel1989- as stated in the tutorial, this is for version 1.13.7 of CAW. If EA have released a new version of CAW today to match the game patch, then this will not work. You need CAW varsion 1.13.7 for this to function. |

For me the patch doesn't work if I try to apply it to the new version of CAW. The old patched executable I made still works though, if I use it with my new install of CAW 1.16. |
