Creating Empty Worlds in Sims 3: A Beginner's Guide

================================================================================

In the world of The Sims 4 (I'm assuming you meant to say Sims 3, but I'll cover both just in case!), sometimes it can be liberating to start from scratch. When all your Sims are tired of living in the same old familiar surroundings, why not create a brand new empty world for them? In this article, we will guide you through every step necessary to create an entirely blank canvas for your Sims 3 or 4 game.

Why Create Empty Worlds?

----------------------

There are many reasons why you might want to start fresh with a completely empty world. Maybe the thought of dealing with all those pesky neighbors and their constant visits is just too much. Or perhaps, like me, you enjoy having complete control over every aspect of your Sims' lives - from where they sleep to what clothes they wear (although let's be honest, most Sims would probably settle for a pair of undies).

Whatever the reason might be, creating an empty world in The Sims 3 or 4 couldn't be easier. In this article we will walk you through each step necessary so that by the end of it all your game is ready and waiting for some serious Sim-titude action!

Step One: Accessing Create-a-World

-----------------------------

Before you can even think about creating an empty world, first things first - you need to access The Sims 3 or 4's built-in tool called 'Create a World'. This handy little program allows advanced players like yourself (yes, I'm talking to YOU!) the ability to design and customize their very own unique worlds within minutes!

To do this:

1. Open up your copy of either game (Sims 3 or Sims 4 - it doesn't matter which at this stage).

2. From here select 'More Options' from near top left corner.

3. Now click on the icon labeled 'Gameplay' and then finally choose ‘Manage Worlds’.

Step Two: Creating a New World

-----------------------------

Now that we've reached the main event, let's talk about actually creating our new world!

To do this:

1. Click 'New' at bottom right-hand corner of window.

2. Give your brand-new empty world whatever name takes your fancy - I personally prefer something simple yet descriptive like 'My First World'.

3. From here you can choose from a variety of pre-made terrain templates or opt for the ultimate blank canvas by selecting 'Empty' from dropdown menu.

Step Three: Customizing Your New World

--------------------------------

Congratulations! You've successfully created an empty world in The Sims 3 or 4!

Now it's time to really let your creative juices flow. With a brand-new clean slate waiting just begging to be populated with all sorts of interesting objects and structures, there are literally no limits as to what you could potentially achieve here.

Here are some tips for getting started:

1. Use the 'Edit Terrain' option under World Tools > Objects & Decorations menu item.

2. Add trees, rocks, rivers - anything that catches your eye really!

3. If you're feeling particularly ambitious then why not try importing a pre-made landscape from online communities like Modding Sims or SimFileShare?

And That's It!

-------------

And there we have it folks! With these simple steps even the most novice of players should now be able to create their very own custom empty world in The Sims 3 or 4.

Remember - with great power comes great responsibility. Don't go crazy and fill up all your hard drive space with hundreds upon thousands of identical-looking worlds okay? (Although I wouldn't blame you if that's exactly what ended up happening...) Happy Sim-ing!
