I'd like to share few tips as well, if you don't mind :)

-Some roads are not connected and they look odd/ cut off.You might want to remove some of them.

-I see you used terrain flat tool, but haven't smooth the area. For roads you might try smooth or flatten road tool (it is an icon next to road construction tool).

-Painting terrain is always tricky. To keep areas from having too sharp terrain edges, try lowering paintbrush falloff to the 10/100 and opacity to the 25/100. Play with that to see what will give you the best effect so transition from grass to sand is looking more natural.

-Those 3 striped buildings are not looking good, I believe they are CC, but regardless they are not looking as detailed and neat as others.

I love the pictures you added. Keep taking pics in Edit in Town, they are much much better looking then those from raw CAW.

You won't see unconnected roads and terrain that needs smoothing, you have to remember, it's still not done yet.

I need help with this, do you know how to get rid of this water? Does anyone know?
I used the terrain tool to lower the ground but it does not lower the water. I really need to get rid of this.

I didn't see you mention that. Good to know.

Unfortunally there is no regular or simple way of getting rid or that water. You'll need additional application and some work on package files to get rid of it, but that will remove all the lakes in BP - only sea will be left. There are 3 water plates in BP that behave as water, on different hights so there can be water on different levels of the world outside of lots, Twinbrook has one large too. If you're really interesting about removing them, sent me a PM so I can explain you the details of possible solution.

I know you can use programs to edit the world files but im no good with programming/modding so if you were to show me it would have to be a step by step thing........or maybe i could sent you the file? since you could do it in a few mins?

That's not what I meant.
Nevermind though, it's fixed now.

Nice highway! I see you're doing great job with custom roads, well done! And those palms actually might work on concrete fondation :)

About this possible solution for water plates, I'll PM you about it as soon as I find some time.
