There is a guide for CAW too, you can find it all over the internet:)
For start, go to file/new world and you chose one of the maps showned in browse window. From there you should play with terain tool (paint and sculpt, just like landskaping lots), adding roads, lots etc. If you have specific question, I'll be happy to help if I know how of course.
I do recommend to read that CAW tutorial
( www.thesims3.com/content/global/downloads/caw/help_en.pdf ) 

@twinmum, I finded the same info about populating worlds in CAW, so sad.

I'm jet to discover how to import families in CAW so that I can export it inhabited..

Well you can always just go to Edit Town mode, move in all the families, save the game, and then give people that saved game to use...

I've wanted to get CAW and fool around with it in the hopes I could have a vampire free world to play in but other than the learning curve, I'm concerned about the video card.  My computer already runs fairly slow for a reasonably new pc, Windows 7, and I'm constantly having to clean things out when I play Sims or I get that stop and start jerky movement thing.  What video card or cards are best?  Is there any other upgrade that would be needed to keep your pc safe and running fast and smooth?

How much ram do you have? 
Are you using a laptop?
Which video card do you have and how much memory does it have?

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX/GTS cards are really good.

You're right, but I still need to upload empty world, and then, the saved file with townies as an option. It's not a big deal, but it would be very nice to be able to start new game with standard townies, as with all EA towns.

Can you not import famillies when you go into 'Edit in Game' ? I thought you could? Or is it just houses and do building?

What you mean? You lost all your saved files only after update? Hope you'll find them, if not, than, join the club. I also lost everything and still am recovering. Someone said it is much faster when you repeat it, and that's true, but there is always that but.

You can check by yourself that editing in game aloud only empty houses and commercial lots. Unfortunately, no way to insert Sims without mods. But, Glic offer usable alternative to that, thanks.

Your saved worlds would be stored in:

Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 Create A World Tool\UserToolData\Worlds

So you can check that folder to see if your saved files are there or not.

While I haven't actually used it yet, I did read the instructions.

Doesn't it say specifically that you can populate the town?

It specifically says you CAN'T populate a town, actually.

According to the docs, "...adding Sims to your world is done once you've imported your world into The Sims 3."

Ah yes, so it does!  I misread it the first time through.  My bad.  ;)

I guess it wouldn't take too long for a town get populated, you could always provide the Households that go in to your Neighbourhood if the Downloader did not want a bunch of Townies and NPC genetics to choose from? Which may be what I will do and just make some households to go into a Town, I think they keep Jobs and Skills etc. they just lose Relationships and Dead Family Members Ties.

I exported world I'm working on, and for now there are only 2 empty apartments and one park, plus all rabbitholes and ambitions lots, and almost immediately, mixologyst showed up, 3 paparazzi were hanging out, and a thief was reading a book, all in that one park. Later I saw some other Sims hanging out, so it won't be deserted world, only thing is you can't place premade families before exporting, but you can do what you want in edit town.
