Nikkei Simmer's Misadventures in CAW

Day 1:  "I need layers...for each setup, roads, trees, houses, etc...how the hell do I get layers?" 

Let's just say that I have absolutely NO EFFING CLUE as to what the heck I'm doing here. All I'm trying to do is make a small "flat world" with a few roads and 12 lots for a Legacy.  9 of which are 64x64 - Yes, they're that stinking rich that they can all afford mansions.  I don't want to bother a dedicated builder with a customized world just for my own use which other people will have no need of and I need to be able to learn how to use CAW so that I can make my own small customized worlds for my play since my computer tends to balk at anything large...and fancy. 

So...maybe this OLD simmer can make worlds for his own use, with stumbling steps and a little guidance here and there. 

Oh...wait... I figured out how to make different layers.  :bright spark here:  👈👀

Click on World Layers, Right-click and add layer.  :neutral:  ~slow clap~.  I figure by the time I turn 85...I'll have figured out CAW by then.

At this rate it'll take 20 years instead of 25 to figure this out.

Edit: 2 1/2 hrs later:

Maple Meadows World (sort of a riff on Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows (where I grew up)

Well...whattaya know, I guess this old-dog can learn new tricks.

Yeah, little did I know when I shot this picture out of the car window way back in 2013 that it would become extremely useful to illustrating my point with humor in Sims 3.
