So, this build… I didn’t realize until I went to copy and paste the entry info that there was a BUDGET- LOL! So, I went back with a sickle and lopped off the entire below water deck that included a galley, crew/ officer’s quarters and their respective common room, and storage rooms. Then I went through the waterline deck and removed 4 blue and white (cruise line colors) standard rooms, 2 blue and white junior suites, gym w/ hot tub and storage areas. Both those decks and the main deck lost two “elevator” shafts with the attendant line colored design cars on each floor and a double wide stair well. I then replaced the elevator compartments on the main deck with a lobby bar and a small “retail” space that I would have supplied with "boarding pictures" from the cruise BUT the gallery reads custom photos from the game as custom content due to the fact it can’t actually transfer any items from your hard drive to someone else’s BUT only a blueprint of the structure that it rebuilds in another person’s game using the items on their hard drive, which of course photos you took of your sims would not be included on someone else’s drive. So, it’s empty but can be used for such during play. Then, as you can see below, I thought it would be fun to present photos of the build as pictures from the show Love American Style (which is where the Love Boat sprang from for those who may not know) following each of the three story lines, which take place during a special Valentine's Day Single’s cruise- a reference to an episode on the original show . So I went back and reshot several photos that included areas now gone! Whew! And so what you see below is my entry-
For Valentine’s Day the cruise line has decorated the ship with large bouquets of roses and each room has received a special edition bear w/heart in the line’s colors. Originally, the standard rooms had a single rose in a vase as well, while the junior suites and main deck suites (still evident) had full bouquets of roses and bottles of wine. There’s also a photo area also set up for Valentine’s Day for taking the boarding pictures on the dock.
Lifelong friends Adam and Brian are about to learn the true meaning of love and friendship.
Charlotte who has spent her life as a shy, retiring Kindergarten teacher has chosen the Valentine’s Day Single’s Cruise as her chance to reinvent herself hoping to find love and the recognition she’s always lacked.
A woman visits Captain Massey bringing with her the memory of forlorn wedding bells echoing from their past.
Oh, I kept the full version! LOL! I just saved the new version for the challenge. I actually like the main and top decks, it's just that I could have finished it a lot faster if somehow I had actually read ALL the instructions- ha! I'm working on making a full expanded version of the ship on a 64x64 lot that I might try my hand at story telling on starting with the three stories listed in the post so all in all it's good.
The exterior design of Love American Style is very nice! @JasonAnthonySterling It is a very nice ship themed build! The skylight roofing looks nice. Very nice outdoors pool deck. Sims will enjoy swimming in the pool or relaxing on the sofa or armchairs there enjoying the sea air and views. The roof covered bridge pathway to the entry area to the ship looks very nice. It is nice that there is a photo studio area on the port for sims to enjoy having their photos taken there.
I am sorry that you needed to change what you had originally planned and had built as the challenge entry.
@Liziann1 It really wasn't as big a deal as it maybe came across in my post. I thought it was funny at myself. I just had this huge boat built that I had worked and worked on and ready to post and I FINALLY (and I had even checked the requirements a couple of times before!) see there's a budget. I just started laughing and praying that maybe I could take out the bottom two decks to fall in budget and thereby avoid a huge rebuild to have something to submit. It's fine as it is and works well within the requirements- I quite like it even still.
I might not get my entry in! life got busy again, and I am trying to have an early night, however I am going to try and finish it!
Hello @Liziann1 I hope that you are able to finish the build, but your health is the most important thing. Try to get the rest and sleep that you need to help you with your busy life.
@JasonAnthonySterling you should post the link to the full version to so I can check it out, this particular competition always has a budget its the monthly that never has one hehe
@Liziann1 I hope you get it finished but if not please show us anyway love to see what you come up with
@Cbear1313 This is the link to the original version, I just uploaded. I'm working on a truly larger, extended version and will most like replace this one with it when done:
I'm still laughing at myself about the budget but the stuff I cut really was entirely unnecessary from the challenge stand point and was mostly for my use later.
It is great that you have uploaded the original version of the ship which has four levels ! @JasonAnthonySterling Both versions of the ship will be very nice for simmers to have in their games.
@JasonAnthonySterling That happens to me all of the time. I never think to upload the original though.....will have to do that next time. Your build for this challenge looks great!
Amore is a very nice boat themed build! @Liziann1 The exterior design of the boat looks very nice! The row of archways looks very pretty on the port and the wishing well is nice between the arches. Very nice natural pool deck! Sims will enjoy swimming in the pool or relaxing poolside in the armchairs enjoying the sea air. It looks great how the seat are in the corners of the deck. The flowers and water fountains feature and the flower boxes on the edges of the deck look very pretty! Very nice furnishing of the interior of the ship! The music nook is very nice! Sims will have very nice views of the outdoors through the windows whilst sitting on the seats enjoying listening to the piano music being played. Very nice dining and bar room! The wall paneling looks very nice.The pink marble flooring gives a very nice look to the room. It looks very nice how the tables and chairs are set up in the room. The type of tables and chairs looks elegant. Sims will enjoy sitting at the tables eating and drinking food and drinks from the banquet table and fountain. The red roses look pretty on the tables. The bar area is very nice. Sims will enjoy having a chat or watching tv whilst sitting on the stools having a drink from the bar. The blosdom are nice touches on the bar counter. Very nice bedrooms area of the ship. The red and grey colour scheme of the rooms looks nice.
I am glad that you were able to finish your build in time
