== Features ==
 
Create a World allows players to design entire new neighbourhoodsneighborhoods, starting with a blank canvas, or modifying the terrains that formed the basis of [[Sunset Valley]] or [[Riverview]]. For advanced designers can create and import designs from Photoshop and other graphics programs. Players can create small, medium and large sized terrains, composed of multiple "chunks". Players can only use a maximum of eight terrain paints per chunk before negatively impacting the neighbourhood's performance. Players can spray on custom terrain paints like lava, snow or even pink cotton candy.
 
Users can drastically expand the available content for their neighbourhoods by installing [[expansion pack]]s for ''[[The Sims 3]]''. Some expansion pack content can only be accessed by installing a [[mod]]s framework for Create a World. Players can set resrictedrestricted [[lot assignment]]s in CAW, allowing for [[Nectary|nectaries]] and [[Academy|academies]] in home worlds.
 
==Download==
Download the latest version from [[EA]]'s official [http://www.thesims3.com/game/tools/world CAW page]. Only the latest version is required, no patching necessary. The tool will likely not be updated in the future due to the release of [[The Sims 4]].
 
The newest release is always at the top.
