Create a World

$$The Create-A-World tool gives the player the ability to create and share unique new worlds for The Sims 3. It allows players to create custom neighborhoods, just like you could in The Sims 2, except it is more in-depth. It was released on December 16, 2009 and is available to download for free from TheSims3.com. It is similar to the creation/terraforming tools in SimCity 4.The tool is similar to the tools used by the game developers when creating neighborhoods for the game; therefore, some of the features in the Create-A-World tool may not be simple to use and may not be very user-friendly. The Create-A-World tool is as of December 31, 2009 in beta mode, so it may still contain some bugs or glitches that have yet to be repaired. You have to have your game patched in order to use it.

Worlds created by other users are available for download through The Sims 3 Exchange on TheSims3.com, and users can upload their own creations to the exchange.
