Just exploring Sulani

aaronrulz · August 2019

I'm late to the party but finally had chance to explore Sulani and replace lots. Couple questions:

What did you guys do with the Admiral Wreckage lot?

Its annoying not every lot of the same size fits. Sometimes i download a house onto a lot and I have floating water skiiers and stuff.

Does anyone have a restaurant in Sulani? what lot did you put it on?

What other community lots did you put in Sulani? I don't need too many residential lots.

I typically move sims into the Admiral's wreckage and totally redo it. Or get a build from the gallery, if I can find one that is not a waterfront property. I haven't seen anything floating, though. Was that on the Wreckage lot? Maybe the downloaded build was a waterfront...could explain it.

I only have two community lots in Sulani. I've kept the beach and the bar in Ohan'ali Town. The rest is residential. Many of my saves, including the current one, don't even have any restaurants at all.

I left the shipwreck topside there, then made a nautical night club out of the basement.. below that I made a second basement that was a nautical themed place to vacation. On top next to the wreck, I added a cannon and death scene from get famous and the pond with koi, I also added some picnic benches and B-B-Q pit, the children’s park boat and toddler slide...... on the other side a meditation stool, and closer to the water a couple of portable lounge chairs and beach towels. And then I added a couple of spotlights to the front.

I am thinking of a restaurant in Sulani too . I did see one on a waterfront lot, a speed build. Do hashtag #restaurant and #Sulani,

I actually just renovated Admiral's Wreckage for the same reason lol. Couldn't find anything big enough that didn't need piers over the water to fit the aesthetic of it all. I ended up keeping the top of it mostly the same, just adding some camping props and the GF boat prop. Originally I downloaded someone else's hostel-type build but ended up completely re-doing the interior. I'm actually pretty proud of this lot now ashdgaha
I'm using it to house 8 random single townies that I'd like to have a home without wasting another lot xP

Couple more pictures here if you're interested!

I put TheSimSupply's Boat Hole Cafe on Reef Finery and edited it to be a restaurant instead.

I replaced the Sand Simoleon Beach with LilSimsie's Serenity Spa, you have to move around a couple things to make it work with the water there but it ends up fitting pretty well. Aside from that, I replaced the Sand Bar and Ohan'ali Beach with renovated versions, but otherwise left them alone. Everything else is residential. I put a couple more houses like Admiral's Wreckage (fit for 6-8 random single townies) on some of the bigger lots.
(also phew this ended up being longer than I meant it to be orz)

Drakos · August 2019

I turned Admiral's Wreckage into a park as a kind of home base for sims who don't live in Sulani, but want to visit on day trips. I put a restaurant I found on the gallery at Reef Finery. I turned the bar into a nightclub since the first time I went there it was "knight" night and a I wanted a DJ. I still have the two beaches, but am considering replacing the one in Ohan'ali Town, not sure with what yet though.

My sim sold all his restaurants in other worlds, moved to Sulani and built a restaurant on Lagoon Look. It's small, with an open air kitchen and 4? tables on the beach.

What did you guys do with the Admiral Wreckage lot?
I left it the same, I need that kind of thing in my game.

Its annoying not every lot of the same size fits. Sometimes i download a house onto a lot and I have floating water skiiers and stuff.
I recommend searching for the lots original name to get what you want. For example, if you're placing something on the lot Key Point, search for "Key Point".

Does anyone have a restaurant in Sulani? what lot did you put it on?
I did not, but I also don't have Dine Out.

What other community lots did you put in Sulani? I don't need too many residential lots.
I changed the bar to a Karaoke Bar, I added a gym, and I added a library.

Now, that sounds like a place my Sims would love to visit. Really cool idea.

I thought of this but when I download and then bulldoze something, the name of the gallery download is on there, not the original. Even when it's now empty. How do I see EA's original names so I can search?

(it's annoying I can't separate my comment from Nerdfashion's quote on here. Not sure why)

I haven't altered Sulani much. I fixed up the beachfront starter in Ohan'ali Town to have amenities and a garden for my Sims, but otherwise left that neighborhood as-is.

The Admiral's Wreckage on Mua Pel'am I did makeover completely. I took the wrecked steamer and junk piles away, and deleted the basement residence.

Then, on the site, I built a traditional terrace and meeting house or mara'e, using all the Sulanese BB assets, and added a restroom hut, roasting pit, picnic tables and so on, and designated it as a National Park, to honor both the Island Spirits (Lot Trait) and the conservancy work that restored the ecology of the island.

It's on my Gallery as "Mara'e Tiki Mana".

I haven't added a restaurant - I don't have Dine Out - or other community lots. I am working on a grand residence for the seaside lot in Lani St. Taz, but haven't gotten it finalized yet.

Lovely park, Sindocat

I'll be sure to use it!

Nothing.

No. I didn't even know that fact.

I don't. First, Sulani has several food stalls. Second, I already had a vegetarian restaurant in Newcrest where mermaid and mermen go.

None. The citizens of Sulani use the community lots of other worlds as well as those randomly added to Sulani. I made some changes to the community lots of Sulani, though.

I took the Admiral's Wreckage as my home, and I gutted out and expanded the basement to make it comfortable for my four mermaids. Topside is mostly a garden that's in constant flux as I keep experimenting to get that perfect garden I'm sure I'll never achieve.

Sharonia · April 2020

I made Baby Ariel into mermaid Ariel thanks to a lovely poster on these forums for the idea and I fully plan to have her move in the boat wreckage when I eventually play her character.

popstarsley · April 2020

I made the pretty island in the upper-left all residential. The larger town area has a beach bar and restaurant over water. I made the lot across from the shipwreck into a fancy “campground” with tents, fire pits, and outdoor games. Still thinking of an idea I love for the shipwreck! There’s some great ideas in here.

HayleeSims · April 2020

What did you guys do with the Admiral Wreckage lot?
Got rid of it and made a small hostel or small hotel.

Its annoying not every lot of the same size fits. Sometimes i download a house onto a lot and I have floating water skiiers and stuff.
Haven't this problem yet.

Does anyone have a restaurant in Sulani? what lot did you put it on?
I put it where the bar is. Don't remember the name.

What other community lots did you put in Sulani? I don't need too many residential lots.
An internet cafe/landromat since most places in Sulani have no power . You can find it here

Here's a tip for all who have Island Living. The expansion adds an item called "Sulani Volcanic BBQ Searer" which is basically a pit used to cook foods, but it has several unique qualities. Most of the food options are only available in the pit. These recipes can not be learned as some other recipes can, and some may be unavailable until you reach a high enough cooking and/or gourmet skill level. The foods themselves are great, but you can only use it to prepare large meals, so it's a waste in typical situations. It also takes a long time to complete the meals for eating, so if you do decide to use it for a large gathering, you should start the gathering with starting the cooking. Thankfully, the sim doing the cooking is free to do whatever they want until the food is ready, and it can be left in the pit for quite a while (I've accidentally left a meal in the pit for a day and it was perfectly fine, so it might last forever until taken out of the pit to consume, but I've not tested this yet).

Now, here's where it get's weird. The quality of the food created from the pit is dependent upon the sim's skill (some recipes require cooking and some require gourmet) and the type of lot the pit is placed in. I've only tested it on two types, residential and park, and here's the results...
Residential: Always poor or normal (level 10 in both cooking and gourmet)
Park: Always normal to excellent
So, keep this in mind when using the pit; if the best you can cook is normal, it's probably because of the lot type you have it on.

Admiral8Q · April 2020

What did I do with Admiral's Wreckage? Well, I went into detail in another post, but to sum it up:

Renamed it "Admiral 8Q's Wreckage".

Completely off the grid.

Chased down a mermaid, (Or did she chase and tease 8Q)
Anyways... Some kissie-wissie romance stuff...

Ended up with some baebeys...
