    TSR’s preview on The Sims 3 Create-A-World tool

    The more I keep hearing about the Create-A-World tool…the more I want it.* Is it December yet?* Huh, huh?!

    New Worlds can also be created by importing a height map. I tested this using an image of a plumbob. Once converted to greyscale this acted as my height map for a new world, as can be seen in this image. You could use anything from your face to a logo or just a beautiful formation of shades to create rolling hills and valleys. Water levels can be adjusted too so that you can flood certain areas.

    Any Expansion Pack, Stuff Pack and Store content you have installed can of course be used in your Worlds too. Custom Content is most likely useable but as yet we don’t know how those files would be packaged. World sizes can range between 2048×2048 and 256×256.

    Oh, and during the demo we learned a trick about object placement on Lots which explained something many of us are unaware of. The rotation of the mailbox on a Lot determines the angle that the thumbnail image is taken from, so if you want your Lot thumbnail to show a particular side of a building, that’s the way the mailbox needs to face. Useful tip? We think so [​IMG]
