Default need tips for creating post-apocalyptic world using existing worlds
I want a post-apocalyptic world with Fallout 3/New Vegas or Escape from New York type of vibe without using CAW (learning curve too steep). The very few I saw via Google are either road less (I want roads for service NPC), or too green (lush forests = life). So I started looking at empty worlds but even without buildings they still have this cheerful of better things to come vibe. Is it possible to turn those empty worlds into desolate places?

Did you have a look at the Silent Hill world by evincryg: http://mysims3blog.blogspot.de/2011...y-evincryg.html ? It got roads, no green and lots of vibe.

If the world itself is lush and green there is not much you can do about it. You can replace trees and plants, but you cannot change the terrain paint nor can you put streets.

Thank you for the reply. Good to know that terrain paints and roads and not doable.

I have tried the Silent Hill world but the non-cc version feels like just a really, really foggy olde seaside town. Maybe the complete version is more desolate? I have never been able to find a working download link to that version.

Rflong's Industrial Island doesn't feel desolate at all. It's like standing in an empty parking lot of a New Jersey mall.

I will tried the other two German worlds but do those dirt roads work like regular roads?

My favorite is actually nwa2000's Nightmare Valley but that world does not have roads. The road version Nightmare City has some really bad flickering in the road intersections: http://nowa2000.de/sims-3-world/sim...nightmare-city/

The dirt roads work as regular roads.

I used Risastorm's Amnora Giipsunu for a environmentally devastated, cyberpunk story setting. Can see pix in my Simblu Tumblr in link (search tag: cyberpunk sims 3) Its an empty world, HUGE though, has roads, and you will need to do a lot of building to fill it. I kinda cheated that by using multiple clusters of the re-castable building shells available here in versions with the "apocalyptic" overlay. Most of the builds you see there are by the very talented Satureja, and are inspired by Bladerunner and other genre pix.
I liked this world by Risastorm for this project because it already has an exploding mine thing in center of it..already placed industrial world items, some weird looking pools of gosh knows what in one area.

I think Amnora Giipsunu could work well for the "Fallout-ish" look you are trying to accomplish? Not many people work with this kinda theme so I'd be interested to see what you do!

( My old link to the download for this world does not work..I've contacted Risastorm about an updated link for this world, will post back here when I get that. Sorry)
Edited to add: and, as promised, here is new link: https://risafantacydownloads.wordpr...mnora-giipsunu/
Edited also to correct spelling of the world.
