Edit in CAW

Post by kkaizer » May 18th, 2018, 11:43 am

I just a quick question about CAW. I havent’t used it before. Is it possible to edit the currently playing world in CAW and keep playing that again or does it have to be new empty world?

It's used to make a new empty world of your own or to edit a terrain map like Sunset Valley or Riverview it you wanted fixed versions of those worlds without any populations in a new game.I edited a Sunset Valley terrain map into a world called Gibsons for my first CAW project and it's used in a legacy.

So it’s not possible to edit the currently playing world? CAW is only for empty worlds?

You can edit a currently played world in CAW, yes but you do so at your own risk.
Any changes made to a world file in CAW require a New Game for the changes and the world to work properly.
Same thing with Ella's fixed worlds you would need to start a New Game for everything to work properly.

The only option for a currently played world is to use edit town to make edits in your save files and to always save using save as and to write new filenames each time it's saved.That's how I'm getting my latest CAW world ready for playing as I forgot to place any lots in the world before exporting from CAW so it's a blank world like Evermore Falls is and one of my legacies is in that world.Most worlds can be edited in the game though edit town though sims have to be either MC TA'd or be evicted ang to have packed the remains of the dead family members.

Sorry for reviving this thread but I'm also interested in doing something similar to my custom created world. I managed to find this method over at MTS: http://modthesims.info/showthread.php?s ... 3&t=469942 and was wondering if anyone was successful at editing their currently played worlds?

If you mean making changes to the world in CAW then using your current Saved game with it. No.

I'm intruding, also.

Can I edit in CAW a world that I've already edited in game play? Is it possible to load an existing world in CAW, edit it and then reload back in game (with a new game save, of course)?

I've done a ton of changes to the world since starting to play with it, but I'd like to further edit it in CAW.

Yes you can take an existing CAW world back into CAW. The changes you made in game will not be there if that's what your wondering.

sittingbear, actually, I want to edit it in a way that I don't lose what I've done in game. So, is it possible to keep the game edits in the world when going back to CAW (and I mean those outside of lots)?
