Create a World

Create-a-World Tool



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 in The Sims 2, although in a more in-depth way. It was released on December 16, 2009 and is available to download for free from TheSims3.com if you have an account there and is exclusive to the PC. It is similar to the creation/terraforming tools in SimCity 4 and the tools used by the game developers when creating neighborhoods for the game. This means that some of the features in Create a World are not simple to use and may not be very user-friendly. You can download or upload worlds on The Exchange. It is only possible to create populated worlds by sharing save game folders or by using mods to add Sims to the .world file[1]. A fully patched version of The Sims 3 is needed in order to use this tool.

Bugs

Tip: The Create a World tool is in beta mode, so it may still contain some bugs or glitches that have yet to be repaired.


This is what happens when a lot is placed too close to a road.

  • Placing lots over roads will cause graphical glitches.
  • Patches created an error whenever CAW is run. Players must uninstall, download and install a new version of CAW at TheSims3.com.
