Default WCIF: CAW Heightmap Tutorial?
Hello everyone.

Does anyone have a tutorial on creating heightmaps on The Sims 3 Create a World?

Thanks, Daniel.

Some rather outdated tutorials that I can think of:

https://cawtool.fandom.com/wiki/Cre...real_world_data
https://web.archive.org/web/2022080...-height-data/p1

Please note that some of the tools and websites may not be available any more (for example, terrain.party is not). However, there are alternatives! I found these two:
https://quickmap.dev/
https://manticorp.github.io/unrealheightmap

The greyscales for Sims 3 need to be 16 bit PNGs. I explain how to change this here:

There are some on youtube. A quick google search showed these:

But I'm sure there are more.
