Post pics of what you do! This will be fun.

This world could prove beneficial with both story tellers and architects alike. The small size of the world may limit the players options substantially, but with less options would allow a story teller to adhere to their actors better. Less distractions essentially.

The potential for exploring architectural styles seems intriguing to me. With less lots means players will have to experiment with layouts to find the balance between functionality and practicality while still maintaining relative to the cruise ship theme. I'm thinking lots featuring much Hardware and Peek-a-Boos would fit ideally. Good creation, and good find!

So these are all cool ideas and I like where it's going, but I do wonder whether the ship's hull design allows for any creative freedom in lot building. Because realistically, you'd want to build something that looks like it's part of the ship's design, right?
So while you guys focus on that I'll focus on my stupid train idea, which allows for no creative freedom whatsoever besides a bit of CASting. I like trains, dammit. I want a train. I WILL have a train.

I just took a quick look at it. Very well done and so creative. Sims run through those bulkheads/dividers and I do not like that. I was able to wall off 2 lots completely and the sim ran into the bulkhead and then ran out and then ran into the other lot using the door to the deck. Lots of fun possibilities, but I think I will not concentrate on this for now. Too many other things going.

I built up 4 floors and that was still a lot lower than the dividers. Layered them receding like a wedding cake for stateroom balconies and stuck white paint on all to match the ship. I think there is a lot of potential here but a lot of work. It will be fun to see what you all do. I need to finish 2 other worlds first (!) then may play with this one.

That is looking really good!

So I have a silly question, functionally how does this work? For example on the forward deck it'll let you create walls all the way around that inner area, but are there certain portions that need to be left open to allow for sims to move around?

The lot at the stern has the best view and is the smallest as I recall, so good for a residential lot, but yes, then it is lost for some other spectacular nightclub or pool or whatever. (!!! LOL) That is a good idea to put doors where the fake doors are. I did not do that. So my test sim ran into the bulkhead and out and then in the door along the side deck.

Thanks! I was wondering if it was something like that since when I started building and zoomed in on build mode I could see the ocean still, despite the fact that zoomed out there seemed to be a wall there. Thanks for the tip on the doors, I'll do that!

Please tell me you're intending on sharing the magnificence you have created!

That looks really nice, Nitromon.

I've actually found really good success in dropping the file name into google.

The other option is to drop a pic of the cc into google's image search and see what comes up.

nitromon Oh wow! Just... WOW!

I'd also be very grateful for an upload, even if there's no cc list 😊

The WCIF forum is also pretty good for "Where did I get this?" threads...

Yeah, rabbitholes do act strangely on multilevel buildings, but the workarounds you suggested would work anyway. And there's no reason why they can't be changed if the downloader wants to anyway. I'd say do the lot that works for you.

Updated version here for people who don't want to have to build an entire ship themselves!

Just noticed this....happy days

No no no....it certainly won't be for nothing nitromon. Some people will no doubt prefer your version.
In fact, upon further inspection, the lots are just copy-and-paste empty shells, bar the rear lot. So although they dramatically improve the look of the ship, they are essentially useless.
