Instructions
Step 1
The editor allows you to create and load a new city using the same tools that professional designers use when developing The Sims games. New cards can be imported by users of The Sims 3 and The Sims 3: World Adventures expansion pack. Think over the general concept of your city first. Decide for yourself what the relief will be, whether you will have a rural settlement or a large metropolis, how many inhabitants you will settle, etc. This will make it easier for you to navigate the huge number of editor tools.
Step 2
Download a basemap for your future city. You can also choose one of two hundred maps with already modified relief or create your own base by uploading a.png
Step 3
In the "Time of day" section, select the direction of the cardinal points. You cannot change them in the future. The place of sunrise and sunset, the direction of its movement depends on this function. Focusing on the cardinal points, choose landscapes of the area so that they are beautifully highlighted.
Step 4
Color the landscape manually or select the auto paint mode. Select the intensity of the vegetation in your area. Remember to save your map periodically.
Step 5
Draw roads and footpaths. The absence of roads will prevent the use of cars in the further game. Lay paths so that you have access to various important buildings (shops, entertainment centers, etc.) that you plan to build in the future. Intersections should be comfortable and there should be enough space for traffic to turn around.
Step 6
Divide the map into sections. The minimum size is 1 cell, the maximum is 64. Plan your buildings so that the houses are along the road. In this case, residents with cars will not have to walk long from the stop to their buildings. Do not complicate the layout, try to make even neighborhoods. Remember that other people will use your card and they will not understand your complex ideas.
Step 7
Give names and numbers to your streets and buildings, observing the rule - even and odd house numbers are on opposite sides. Give a name to your whole city, come up with a description and take a photo - this will help other users when choosing a map to navigate what awaits them inside. You can resettle the inhabitants right away, or you can do it later.
Step 8
Recheck the created map - whether you have placed everything, whether there are dead ends or impassable places, after which you will make the final save. Export the city via the File menu. That's all! Now you can enjoy the familiar game in a new, individual design!
