Sim Acres is Now Bakersfield (World Update/Preview Pics)

Way back in January, I mentioned that I was working on a new world called "Sim Acres." Well, the world is nearly completed. However, it's now called Bakersfield. Sim Acres will be the name of a third world I'm working on.

I've pretty much completed Bakersfield, but it's not quite ready for prime time yet. I'm currently playtesting it to check for lag issues and glitches. While I do, here are some preview pics:

Create a World Tips and Tricks: Best Practice When Building

When creating a world in CAW, there are tons of tips and tricks you can use to not only help things go faster, but prevent the types of glitches and other problems that can set you back several months. Below are the best tips I have learned over the years, and hopefully will help you avoid problems when you build your world.

Sim Acres (WIP): Update (1/8/15)

Below are some pictures of some of the progress I've been making with Sim Acres. Right now, I'm just working out certain districts to get a feel for them. I still haven't painted the terrain yet or added too many world objects. I'll do that much later.

A strip mall-style garage. I just might make this a decorative lot.

Current Project: Sim Acres (WIP)

When I completed Oceanview, I thought: never again. This world took me two years to finally complete and caused a lot of headaches in the process. But for some odd reason, I felt the need to finally complete two other worlds I had started last year. This new one is called Sim Acres. Luckily, because I learned so much from my mistakes with Oceanview, it should take much less time to complete.

Wash N' Dry Uploaded

I've uploaded Oceanview's Wash N' Dry laundromat to my TS3 Studio. This lot includes the food truck parking space, so it will show up in a world that has been tagged a city, such as Bridgeport.
