Create a World's full potential cannot be realised without the clever use of S3PE. This program allows you to change things in your world that EA didn't want you to; sky color, ocean color, sun color, world designation(is your world a city or town), and plenty of other clever little aspects of your world that you can change to make it more interesting and engaging.
A lot of this material has been collected from different websites/forums and reworded slightly to be more comprehendable to the average CAW user.
Changing Your Surroundings
Without this aspect, Bridgeport and Twinbrook would look completely different. If you choose a different ocean color, it portrays a completely different atmosphere to another colored ocean. For example, if you were doing a tropical island, you might benifit from changing the color of your ocean to a brighter, richer blue. As actual used examples, here is what EA did to Bridgeport and Twinbrook.
- Bridgeport is seen as a depressing city surrounded by grey cliffs and this is reflected in the grey sky and ocean.
- Twinbrook gives off a sort of swampy depressed vibe. Not nearly as strong as the depression that Bridgeport portrays but just as important in the overall scheme of things.
