Cruise pack anyone?!

Okay. Think. Vacation time. Your sim plans 3 days on a cruise ship! With excursions like scuba diving, and swimming with dolphins, maybe “hunting for treasure” pirate style with a metal detector? There be on ship restaurants, pools, spa, bars, and entertainment. Theme nights like on a cruise ship. Dinner with the Captain. Glamor night. Art auction. Singles night. Movie night. It’s really easy to make work, most of the things on a cruise ship is in the game already. Just have to work out the “ship location” and the excursion locations and actions.

New careers. Cruise ship Captain! Stewardess, deck hand, etc.

Literally this is making me excited thinking about it. Idk about y’all but this would be something different the sims haven’t done yet. I kinda don’t want university. It’s been played out. I want different. Who’s ready for a cruise?!

    I still want the University but I love this idea!

    I really dislike cruiships irl but many the activities that the OP mentions sound great.
    I would love to have scuba diving, hunting for treasure, being able to build lots on floating platforms/ships, art auction, and it would also mean the ability to combine different lot types in one. All of that sounds awesome!


    I feel like the cruise aspect could bring that tropical theme people are wanting, and add to the game in a way we haven’t seen before.

    I don't want anything tropical.
    IF a cruise was added, I'd really want it to be Mediterranean(or Nordic, or Kiwi)
    I have no interest in the tropics at all.
  • I really would love for us to be able to build our own but I don't know if it can work.

    Like there would have to be different "lots" on the boat. So you can have different lot types like shops and restaurants but then also there would be loading screens and that would be annoying.

  • They should do a collab with a major cruise line to do this pack.
    Each 'destination' would also be treated as a district, and maybe each one is locked until the day you are meant to arrive on the itinerary.

    My best guess is that the "ship" itself would be a shell (like an apartment building in CL) but we could edit each suite or shop or any "public" areas on the ship but not move or expand them. The entire ship would be like one neighborhood and the suites, shops and public areas would be the lots to edit.


    I agree. Maybe the ship is one district on the map and when you click on it, you start off in the promenade or central park area (lot) of the ship and you could select your room. Then you'd have your restaurants, theaters, and the pool/club deck as lots. Then when you go to the destination districts, the ship will be docked in the background and act like the boats in the Brindleton Bay world, which take you to a different district, in this case, it would take you back on the ship.

    A cruise-type deal would be great! Like the camp vacation thing, but on a boat and you rent a room instead of a cabin! And there could be like, cool water slides and stuff that go into an on-deck pool or something. Great!


    On a boat, your room is a cabin, and your bathroom is the head.
