I'm sorry to go on about this(I made a topic about it) but the port thing not being in the normal build menu is really stupid, I don't like the fact that we have to DEBUG everytime I want to make a port for a boathouse, its rediculous and I hope to god its fixed sometime in the future, I'm getting the game today and I must admit I'm not too excited anymore about it, there have been too many complaints, too many asking about how to build a houseboat because there is no way of doing it normally, sorry but not all simmers use cheats thruout their gameplay and they should have put the port builds in the normal build part, just my two cents of course :evil: :cry:

People can disagree, of course, but I think having this in the buyDebug menu is good placement. There is a lot in the buyDebug menu that is very useful on a build, but there are also things in the buyDebug sort that you really shouldn't mess around with unless you know what you are doing (like the tomb building tools and the spawners just as a few examples).

Some people will put spawners on the lot without a second thought but if you put too many you can really cause lag in your game. If you upload a lot with spawners and you get someone downloading who doesn't know any better they will rotate the lot several times as they place it and not realize that they just created multiples of the spawners with each rotation. It is a known issue among builders (unless it was recently fixed) that you double spawner numbers with each rotation on placement.

I think the gangway object is well-placed if you think of it in that way because you DO need to know what you are doing in order to use it.

As I said, people can disagree on that.
