World for Sim and Clothing Creators/Using CAS and Nothing Else (Updated)

UPDATE: Added a 40x40 version, for taking sim pics on. You could build a studio there.
Mediafire seems to be having some issues, adding a new download link would just take up space- just keep trying, or try again later, sorry!

This took no time to make, but the concept is cool enough to me that I will share it.

Sometimes I want to make a sim. And when making a sim I do not need my hood to load. So rather than wait for it to load...


I made a world specifically for it. It's the smallest world size possible with NO details but a 5x5 lot in case you wanna check your sim in-game. You dont even need to make a save file, because clicking New Game and choosing this takes less than 3 seconds to load. Compared to, what, 2-3 minutes or more for a populated world? And it's actually better if you dont make a save, because that means the game doesn't have to remember NPCs or magic homeless sims who might show up when checking out a sim. (Plus that cute CAS logo I made shows up every time :p)



It's less than 3MB in size and I've already gotten a ton of use out of it. Hopefully sim and clothing creators will get some, too.

  11. Wow, thanks so much for sharing this, as a creator I hate the fact it takes forever to load up a new hood just to test a new bit of cc. So once again, cheers!

  14. Tested, and it's fantastic! :D
    May I suggest something? Would you create another version with a bigger lot? I use a big room to take pics for my stuff, and that lot it's too small :/
    Thanks! ^-^

  15. can not download. :(

    ReplyDelete
  17. Thank you, again! :D

    ReplyDelete
  18. Agreeing with Cece, this is awesome. Great to use for testing and looking at cc objects and clothes. I really do appreciate your sharing with us.

    ReplyDelete
  19. This is brilliant!
    I'd love a world with a bigger lot, though. I also take my photos inside a box-house.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Wow, what a great idea.
    Thank you so much for sharing!

  21. Had no problem with downloading link it's just it's on an updated game and I have not updated and won't because the latest patch has had some issues. So I won't be able to use this. darn...

    ReplyDelete
  22. That was not made with the latest patch.

    However, refusing to patch will give you more issues in the long run than patching anyway.

  24. Claeric, I successfully downloaded the mod but the problem is that I CAN'T install it. It says that I need to update my game to make this work. I have HELS & WA installed and my game version is 3.1.7.

    Please help me. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  25. "Requires a software update. Please make sure your game has the latest Software Updates."

    ReplyDelete
  26. That means you need to update.

    I don't know how to put it any simpler.

    ReplyDelete
  27. no, 5x5 works great!
    but 40x40 doesn't!!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Oh, well, 40x40 might have been made after patching CAW.

    You will simply have to patch your game, there is nothing I can do about it.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Claeric, you can post the .world file that results in installing the world, that way we can put it at the Worlds folder in the Sims 3 directory.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Thank you so much for this Claeric!
    This is something I really need.

    Very useful!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Claeric does this work with Awesomemod? I patched but I get a conflic message from aweseomemod when it is installing.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Actually scratch that, it's just awesomemod being a poo.

    ReplyDelete
  33. That's pretty cool.. Great idea.
    Thank you!

  34. Now I can flood my sim bin with sims I'm never going to play! :D

    (Would you object if I hugged you?)

  35. I downloaded 40x40 version and its working perfect for me. I launched the game and it took me about 5 sec to get to the cas :D
    I love making sims so for me this world is briliant. Thanks so so much :))

    ReplyDelete
  36. How can I install this, my launcher is broken?

    ReplyDelete
  37. Thanks a bunch! After wrestling with the newest patch (damn videocamera.ini not being exactly the way it wanted it) I installed it, and it's perfect for testing out new content! I suppose one way it could be improved is to have a version that has a second lot that's 65x65, for testing large lots or those narrow beachfront lots.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Absolutely love this world. It's been great for testing lots and shooting scenes without the bla of an entire town going on.
    A grateful simmer :D

  39. This has been so helpful, thanks for making this.

  50. I found this somehow by searching for "choker" on MS3B :S Odd but I'm so glad I did! I've been wanting something like this for ages as my games usually take 7 mins to load, when all I want is CAS :D
    Thank ye very much! ;D

    ReplyDelete
  51. Thank you for this. Seriously, it's a great concept...something that EA will never put out.

    ReplyDelete
  52. It is amazing! Thanks so much! Will make easy to download CAS for me without town!

    ReplyDelete
  53. My game won't install .sims3pack anymore. Could you or anyone with a PC make a .package version or is that too much trouble? Being on a Mac I have no idea what it might entail.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Thank you for this! Now I won't feel like ripping my hair out every time I need to test clothes!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Same issue as Sunny Lauren. It use to work fin for me :/

    ReplyDelete
  56. I'm patched to 1.63 so I'm wondering why it seems to go through the launcher, indicate it's there, but no longer reflects when I click the window open to choose which world I want to go to. WAH! Was this base game done or just not working because of the launcher or something else? It was working prior to the 1.63 jump....

  57. I use this pretty much 90% of the times I play. Couldn't live without it.

  74. This is such an amazing concept, and it will be really useful for me because I have a lot of cc, so loading a town takes so long, even if all I want to do is construct a sim, so...MANY MANY MANY MANY THANKS!!!!
