Yes, but it's not too complicated once you learn how to use it.
You can either use a blank preset of the ones you have downloaded or begin anew with a square or rocky template. You can them terraform the ground, place roads(Make sure it works though), make lots at desired sizes for use of both empty lots for players to place houses or rabbitholes, etc, and then save it.
It sounds a bit like the creator that came with the Sims 2. The starting template could be done with Sim City 4. Why didn't they include it in Sims 3? Is it made by a fan or by EA? Also will it work with the Sims 3 gameplay? I.e. you can go everywhere.
You said something about format issues?
Btw is there just 1 neighborhood in the Sims 3 or are there several?

It's a separate utility which you can download. EA released it a short while after release to allow for custom worlds.
I formatted my HD awhile ago so I lost my world which I was working on. That's what i'm talking about.
Free worlds which you can either download off the store, get with expansions, or paid worlds off the store.
OK.
However my laptop can't run The Sims 3. Perhaps my brother's computer can?
Well, there's no graphics problem, it's my CPU that is the problem. It's not dual-core nor fast enough. My CPU is a big problem for me. I used this site: System Requirements Lab

Bahahah... I got almost 1 GB of Graphics RAM.
I only go 1.7 GB of RAM This laptop is not a gaming computer, at all. Well, good that I don't play so many games them.
... my graphics card has 856 Mb built-in/dedicated RAM.
It sounds like you got a very powerful computer. I really can't do much in upgrading as my computer is a laptop which isn't even sold anymore.

It's strange that even though you got such a powerful computer Sims 3 still lags! I don't think my brother's computer is that strong even... guess I'll never be able to play Sims 3. For me Sims 2 will have to do I assume.
The only problem my rig has with most games is just the loading of textures especially if it's progressive loading. You know...like one part derezzes when you leave that area so the textures fade and rezzes at where you're currently act so you see the textures become higher quality. That's the only reason for minor graphical lag.
Other than that...it runs most games fine. Hell, I could play Far Cry 2 on good settings and it'd run no problem. Crysis...still have not tried but bet it'd run on high with no graphical problems.
I tried sims 3 and I was only allowed to have up to three people in my home or my game would crash. I found that out the hard way when I tried to have a wedding party and my computer blue-screened. So I ended up switching to Sims 2 and everything was good until I got hit with twins and my guy's mood got so bad that he took a bubble bath and refused to get out until he died of starvation.
Before you ask, Yes, I am indeed a madman in a box.

...o_o
That was a glitch. A horrible glitch that I got from playing with mods.
Edit: He was very clean though.

The only mod I have in Sims 2 is two characters I downloaded...
Yesterday my Sim decided she wanted to meet a vampire so I found her one in a sleezy bar. My Sim tried talking to her but first the vampire wanted to look at the camera and complain about being hungry, and kept pointing into his mouth.
I hightailed it out of there. xD
Auuuuuugh!!!
My game just crashed and I lost like a RL day. I had made sooooo much progress, too.
Yeah, usually I save fairly regularly but it must have just not happened this time. I was playing pretty distractedly the whole time so wasn't really thinking much. (ie tabbed in and out)
This topic hasn't really been used in awhile and The Sims 3: Pets just recently released so i'm hoping to get a discussion going again.
Sadly, i'm multitasking by being on the forum and The Sims 3. I find Pets amusing due to the fact that strays cause problems for my house by tearing up newspapers that are left outside which is funny...really...funny...
:GASP: SIMS3 >4! I've played several games and somehow this family I've actually stuck with. I'm on my 4th generation of sims. My girl just got married to a cop and she's older than him [He's still a YA and she's 4-5 days from becoming an elder. . . Did I mention she's a rockstar? COUGAR! RAR] Her dad, Romeo Sekemoto, cheated on his wife, fought her, took 1 of the twin girls and left. Note his wife was pregnant. She, by herself, cared for I think 3 kids. c:
Should I have another kid before my rockstar gets old?
Also, I want pets! I have adventures and ambitions. I want nightlife, pets and I want them to create college & apartment life.
