Totally, this is the only ep I have had the patience to watch the live broadcasts… Stupid Ea and their buggy lbs 🙁

Denise (there was no reply button on your comment), that’s a good point. It is just a game after all, I guess everyone has different ideals about how far it should emulate real life. I prefer more realism but each to their own!

Evil?? NAHHH!! Sounds like FUN!!

First thing I thought was “BUMPER BOATS!!”
But I love your idea for the mean Sims that I can’t stand! 😀

It’s… a game. What you’re describing is real life situations (except for maybe the sunlight thing) not something that matters in the sim world. I’m pretty sure we won’t have to worry about “evenly distributed weight” This is also only one of the boat shapes.

Well you don’t have to have a square one! Just be prepared to have a pretty small house/resort boat on one of the “boat-looking” hulls.

The only ‘real’ sunlight you could get on that boat is on the top deck or maybe on the bottom deck briefly if it was facing the sun… Very illogical design for a cruise ship indeed. End rant 🙂

I also get the feeling boats are built in the way you described to utilise sunlight and decking space. There’s no point in sailing on open seas if you feel like you’re trapped in a dark city highrise.

Exactly, it seems like it would tip over easily because the weight isn’t distributed evenly. But what do I know about naval design! It’s just the feeling you get by looking at it.

I think it would have looked more like a cruise ship if it was built a bit more narrow/oval lengthwise, and had each floor slightly smaller than the one before it with rail around it. The whole shape seems too square/clunky.
But that’s just my opinion.
I hardly ever get my own builds to come out the way I see it in my head either…

Hi Graham! I don’t use twitter so I’m going to seize this opportunity and beg you to *this is my begging face* please, please bring back the 4 step high indoor stage tool before this series ends. Or even better, an 8 step high platform so we can make proper non-warpy split level stairs again. I love that we’ll finally be able to build a low foundation, but we seriously need those tools too. 🙂
