It's still beta isn't it - the CAW tool I mean - does that mean that EA never actually bothered to finish it properly? Haven't they had four or five years to finish it by now. Slow aren't they.

Anyway, I have been thinking about the lumpy lots, as Minty so delightfully names them, and I have a question (don't I always). When you place the lots in CAW, is it essentially the same process as placing them in Edit Town mode, and then do you edit them using something akin to Build mode?

So if you plonk down a lot in CAW, does it initially fit the shape of the land? I ask because it looks to me as though your lumpy lots are the result of plonking down a lot, then using the "flatten lot" option in Build mode (or whatever that option is called - the one with the big arrow pointing downwards) to level the terrain. If so, if you want to make the world look smoother, maybe consider just placing the lots and leaving them with the curvature of the land - people can always adjust the terrain themselves if they want to build on a given lot, but it would mean that initially the lumps wouldn't be there and you wouldn't have problems with a difference in elevation from the road.
