Do you have the package file for the distant terrain installed in your CAW framework as well as your Documents/Mods folder?

You need to make a packages folder in your CAW installation folder and install it there for it to appear in CAW.

Instructions here- don't worry about the symbolic link bit, just make the packages folder and the resource file.

Do you get an error message at all? Are you using any other CC or mods?

Do you still have the original version of MH installed? If so, did you change the world ID for your edited version?

Here is a tutorial: http://ts3cc.canadian-forum.com/t60...a-different-i-d
You will need S3PE for it, do you have that tool installed and know how to use it?

So, it don't have alternative option to put distant terrain in custom premade world ?

Or just keep distant terrain & unique weather effect (midnight hollow weather style) not deleted, when I save as or just save .world file after editing premade world, especialy for midnight hollow.

Yes, you can put the distant terrain in any custom world, but if your world overwrites one of the EA worlds it won't work unless you remove the EA world.

The weather effects have to be imported after saving the world in CAW, but before exporting, or CAW will discard them.

Otherwise, you would need to use the CAW import routines, which would require you to rename the weather files:

The distant terrain must also be installed to your game mod files or else it will not show up.
