Populated version of Midnight Hollow that can be edited with CAW?

[vgamer1991]

is there a version of Midnight Hollow that's POPULATED that can be edited with CAW? I was thinking of making a new world called "Ghastone" (name is a portmanteau of ghast + stone, or ghast + tombstone) whose story is basically "this place was called Midnight Hollow at first, but one gloomy Wednesday around noon, an alien showed up and summoned an asteroid that fell on the school and killed all the children"....Yep, macabre af, I know, but it's the Sims and Midnight Hollow seemed like the best choice for this apocalyptic-ish story's setting....

I think it can be done. I am not familiar with CAW myself, but have read where other players that are have been able to edit EA made worlds. You might try looking over these two boards over at the official Sims forum to see if they can be of help.

Hi, sorry to bump this extremely old topic, but I just want to officially document somewhere that I haven't done anything in regards to Ghastone yet as the full storyline isn't ready for the mysterious town's appearance, but when everything's all set in regards to the other saves involved in the storyline, I am going to use Porter to "Pack" the population of the United Kingdom, a world I downloaded from the Exchange and populated with StoryProgression's Immigration option, and then "Unpack" them in Ghastone, which "canonically" at this point would be called Midnight Hollow. After the disaster, the population of Midnight Hollow would canonically rename the world to Ghastone just before they collectively haul their Simmy butts off to the United Kingdom (simulated by mass deletion of what remains of the world's population), and then temporarily start a new save in the canonical version of Midnight Hollow to "Pack" the residents within it, then "Unpack" them all in Ghastone and delete the temporary Midnight Hollow save before continuing the storyline from there.

No problem in adding to your thread.

Thanks for the update!! Hope all goes smoothly when you get back to working with Ghastone.
