Sulani Islands CAW Project Update!

Hey friends! I'm back with some more pictures of my Sulani World Project!

If you haven't heard yet, I am remaking Sulani from the Sims 4 in the sims 3 CAW program! (create a world)

It's coming along really good so far! I can't believe it's only been a few months and I have already made so much progress! I started this project in October 2025 so it's come a long way in a short amount of time!

I am working on the second largest Island tonight. I added a waterfall (it doesn't show up in EIG (edit in game) mode) and a whole bunch of trees plus a few lots! I still have a lot of work to-do.

Still working on some details on the main Island too! I have a lot of lots to build.

Everything looks so cute! Ahh! :)

Okay! Well that's all for now, I have to get back to working on it! I'm so glad I don't have anything to do or anywhere to BE! Omg it's so cold here in Ohio. It's like 7 degrees outside. Man I wish I was on a tropical island right now lol.

See ya later!

The small town of Phantom Rock that I'm currently working on. The idea is to build a slightly cartoonish city with a gothic aesthetic that remains modern.

Sometimes I want to create a little crazy supernatural characters and I'd like to have a neighborhood that matches them (when I put them in other neighborhoods, I think they look weird there)

Damn it has been a while. I’m not sure when this will be completed, and I don't know if I will ever be fully satisfied with the layout of everything, but the world is functional. There's a lot more CC used than I wanted, but in the end it will pay off. Still looking for testers/possibly opening up lot build requests if anyone wants to contribute, as there is still so much more I need to add in. I've finished the following lots:

-Library/Museum

-Ice Cream/Snowcone stand

-Blacksmith

-Marnie's Barn

-Wizard's Tower

-Community Garden

-Leah's Cabin

-Graveyard

-Sewers (1/2)

-Me Sell Hats

My current WIP build is Harvery’s Clinic & Pierre's Grocery 

Here's a little update on my Sulani Islands project! :)

I built a shopping plaza that's going to have a custom built grocery store, bookstore, and consignment shop! The bookstore/grocery are going to have rabbithole rugs so sims can actually go into the buildings.

I built a cute little 2 bedroom/1 bath house with a view of the waterfall. The waterfall doesn't work in EIG mode (edit in game). But it's still there!

The backyard has a pool too! So cute! :)

I am also working on adding streetlights to the island.

It's looking good so far! I have only worked on the main island as of right now. I still have the smaller islands to do. Lots of work but it's so much fun seeing my project come along! :)

Hey friends! I just wanted to share some pictures of my next CAW project!

I'm gonna try to recreate Sulani from the sims 4 for the sims 3! It's looking really pretty already and I just started working on it! Omg!

I have to figure out why the terrain is coming through some of the roads. And I probably still have years worth of work to do! Don't get excited yet! I just started this project!

I have to paint all the mountains and add trees, lots, metadata like signs and such, all the good stuff! I'm so excited about it!

I also have a few more islands to work on! It's gonna be a lot of work!

I'm hoping to add a volcano on one of the islands like there is in the sims 4. I don't know how I'm gonna do that though. I'll have to do some researching about ground paint and world effects.

This little lot is going to have a small pond that drops a waterfall down onto a river. I added some world effects to make it look like the river is moving into the ocean.

I also added some ocean surf movement which I think looks really pretty! :)

Okay friends! That's all for now!

Here's a little update on my newest CAW project, Sulani Islands! :)

It's coming along sooo good already! Holy moly I am so proud of my project that I just started in August lol. I hope I can keep my momentum with it! :)

I'm trying to figure out how to add coral to this little rocky reef section. Even if I can't figure it out I still think it looks really good just the way it is now! :O

I followed @nilxis's tutorial on how to make good coral reefs using ground texture paints! Thanks Nilxis! :)

I'm working around the world one section at at time based off the pictures I took for reference from my sims 4 save. I added some lots here and there and I think they look so cute already. I can't wait to build little beach houses on them! :)

This is just the main island so far. I have a few other medium-small sized island I'll have to work on as well. I have quite a bit of work cut out for me. It's probably going to take at least a few years to finish this.

Thanks for sticking around friends! I hope you like my pictures and I hope you're excited about this project too! :)

Hey friends! I have been working on a page for my CAW project Ex-Terrestria! I want to upload some lots and world related stuff to Sims File Share but I need an invite code? How do I go about getting a code like that? Can anyone help me out? Thanks! DMs are open too! :)

Hey friends! It's me again, posting about Ex-Terrestria! Unfortunately I have some news I wanted to share with everyone before I start gabbing about how much I like my CAW (create a world) project.

I have been at the hospital all week :/ It really torpedoed all the things I had planned that I wanted to do this week. I haven't been able to do much at all because I have a herniated disk at the bottom of my spine. And let me tell you that not only does to suck not being able to move, it HUUUURTS like a you know what. I have never had such physical pain like this in my life. The first 2 days I couldn't even sit up in bed at the hospital. I couldn't bend my knees and I really couldn't move at all without excruciating pain. I felt like a straight wooden board. Fortunately, I am out of the hospital now but I'm still taking it slow with everything. My back still hurts a lot but now I am able to walk, sit, and go up/down stairs very slowly. I can't bend over and pick things off the ground, and my partner has to help me with a lot of things. I feel like I have made a lot of progress but I still have a long way to go :( I hope I can heal enough to be able to work again. I'm really worried about losing my job.

Okay, enough talk about that! Let's get into the good stuff! :)

I have been playtesting my new CAW project Ex-Terrestria. It is such a fun world to play in! I have noticed a few things here and there that need fixing but they are mostly just minor stuff. I'm hoping to be able to release it soon! I'm really excited to share it with the public and get everyone's opinion of it! :) I worked hard on it for a long time! Like at least 2 years! CAW projects are a lot of work but in the end it is so rewarding to play in them!

I'll have to introduce you to some families I created and moved into the world! :)

This is Paxilla Needorp! She works at the hospital and lives with her dog Pluto!

Paxilla had a visit from the friendly neighborhood burglar one night. Unfortunately they took off with the TV before the police got there. Ugh! I would make that face too if someone took my TV lol.

At least they didn't steal the scooter!

This is Qunnley Stellas in her cool new hover car! She lives with her dog Luna, and her cat Amali.

This is Azure Queebol! She works at the theater and has a dream of becoming a rock star. She lives here with her dog Sparkle.

I've made a couple more families in this world, but I don't want to make this post too long. I can't wait to share it with everyone! I can't wait to see what alien families people create! Let's keep in touch!
