how to you build a rocket ship?

i have the rocket placed on the ground and have tried with different ppl to 'build' it...to no avail. can only a level 10 astronaut build it?

    Oh, yeah, it has to be on a residential lot which is a pain. I did use a cheat to build one on a community lot (instant build -- no sim actually built it), but I couldn't upgrade it.

    I find that annoying because a rocket would make more sense on a community lot than on a residential lot -- as much as rocket ships make sense I suppose. But a science center would be a better place for the rocketship than a tiny backyard.


    That is really annoying! It's huge and lots are TINY! What was EA thinking?

    Ok, so what if I made a community lot, but set it as residential and then had a sim build it, upgrade it and everything and then changed it back to a community lot, you think that would work? Because there is no way in hades that thing is going on my beautiful mansion property.

  • thanks for help; I have no mods; just cannot seem to interact with launching pad no matter which sim I choose. thanks though. I will try again.
  • My Sims read the rocket science book until he got his skill level up to one and then he could build it.
  • Can you build the rocket on a community lot or only a residential lot? Cause I don't want that thing at my house, it's ridiculous.

  • It's annoying how big and gawdy it looks. I hide it behind those big pink trees and shove it in the back corner of the lot.

    The goal "Own a Rocket Ship" can be completed by owning a rocket ship, meaning that you must buy a rocket ship and place it in your sim home lot. Rocket ships outside home doesn't count. Only those (even when not built) on the home lot counts.
  • I hope @EgonVM 's post helped you out @Samantha20 :)
