Journey To Batuu Positive Thoughts Thread

Great work! I presume you mean 'lower left' regarding the cannon as there is no chamber in the lower right. At least what I can see.

@EnkiSchmidt , these all are so awesome :love:

WIP for an officers' casino for my Batuu save. The First Order prides itself in being better (more organized and less corrupt) than the Empire, so for their standards this location is already pretty decadent. In time the owners may even add, gasp!, colorful rugs and wall hangings.

Outside view. Lot "Batuu Bar" originally by Zar2301, I zoned it as a lounge for now, but might even make it private (residential) when things become too crowded.

Overview

Bowling isn't just entertainment, right? It's totally useful for targeting training!

A detail I spent way too much thought on is the cannon in the chamber in the lower right. It points at the entrance through a one-way window (from the police career) and is accessable only via a VIP door. I don't know what will happen if a premade celeb actually makes it through the roped door, because there is only an empty 2x4 room and then the cannon room behind it.

Close up of the center table. The microphone is required for a lounge, I positioned it to make it look as if rousing speeches would be given here.

The Governor, his son, the dubious PR manager/double agent/sort of a Jedi and IT-08.

The purpose of this lot is to give my Governor a location where he can sell mixology drinks as a "work from home" replacement of the Mixologist career (that he cannot join because he is already in Politics). When he manages to sell drinks worth 100,000 simoleons through his inventory, I gift him the mixology aspiration bonus trait. He also dabbles in juice fizzing, nectar making and cauldron alchemy (at home).

The Governor's honor guard. These sims will join the officers' club so that I can summon them. The two rightmost sims have various outfits in their unused slots that I can copy onto any townie who enters, making them into First Order officers or stormtroopers.

Sooo, this all started with the "Which aspirations do play the least" thread, when I noted that I had yet to complete a Batuu aspiration, despite playing the pack quite often. I started a Batuu themed save and when I got Horse Ranch a week later, it was only natural to combine the themes. Beasts of burden are a common sight in Star Wars frontier towns, so I think my "Batuu-hooves" (grey one: thoroughbread variant, brown one: work horse variant) fit the setting. No cc was used (just a teleporter mod to get them to Batuu).

Oh, horses are totally canon in Star Wars! In as much as anyone who feels that Ewoks: Battle for Endor and Caravan of Courage is canon anyway (and I certainly do!)

Thank you. Fascinating. Just might give it a try. Just the thing for Nancy Landgraab.

@Oldeseadogge Yes, a hat, specifically. Once selected in CAS, the hat makes the sim wearing it invisble. That also means that the droid will always float at a sim's head height. Since the droid performs all the head animations, a nice bobbing up and down effect will occur in conversations, which is pretty much the only way such a sim can emote.

If Free Will is enabled, the droid will eat and shower. Showering causes his sim body to resurface while in the stall/tub. Eating will make the dish float in front of the droid.

Very creative! A costume you say?

Close enough, I suppose. I present to you: The IT-interrogation droid in the Sims 4 artstyle:

You know the dazed moodlet sims get when they get arrested by the First Order? This little guy is responsible for that moodlet. He's evil, a music lover and a perfectionist and the newest addition to my Batuu cast.

The poor vendor was visibly nervous when IT-08 floated in and said "I have QUESTIONS about the menu."

At this point I don't know yet what to do with him other than let him occasionally escape the First Order HQ and explore the town.

Lt. Agnon the "traitor":

I'm at a point in the questline where my First Order sim learned about a mole in the First Order. I don't know yet if that was just flavor text or an important plot point. In any case, the First Order sims made a list of suspects and that list included Lt. Agnon, just to be thorough. Next thing they went to watch all the suspects. Guess what they saw when keeping the tabs on Agnon? This:

https://64.media.tumblr.com/eccbab62484870763f737fb1de976a51/e9d2ebe5762ba456-3e/s2048x3072/6b3338d884aed86f5af2130ce78a54471dcfe5f4.pnj

A random resistance member entered the First Order headquarters as if it was nothing, lingered around, exchanged a few casual words with Lt. Agnon and then left again! Now this piles suspicion on the Lieutenant!

Fun fact, I liberally use mods and could actually arrest Agnon by making a copy of him playable and then changing the appearance of the default Agnon to simulate him getting replaced (I had a female Kyle Ren once and the game didn't complain).

Fun fact 2: One of my First Order sims is an actual mole (aka working through the resistance questline in secret), but he avoided drawing suspicion so far.

@EnkiSchmidt, there needs to be a mod for pets to be in Batuu. Awe, nuts. I'm only a vanilla player. Wa,... :'(
Oh well, moving on. But thanks for letting me know. ;)

I looked and found this on reddit:

You have to find the sim's ID by using the cheat code sims.get_sim_id_by_name (First Name) (Last Name) (ex: sims.get_sim_id_by_name Monthy Python)

Then you summon the sim to your current lot by using that ID in place of simID in the cheat code sims.summon_sim_to_zone simID

I expect testingcheats needs to get activated first.

A user reported that the cheat didn't work for them, but maybe it's worth a try?
