Journey To Batuu Positive Thoughts Thread

Haha this thread has been going for a year now. ? Probably because we dare not mention JTB outside of this thread. ?

@CAPTAIN_NXR7 very cool, thank you.

@Hearts4u so good. I love how you remodeled everything. Did you change a few things inside the nightclub?

@Hearts4u Those builds are great! The museum is great, and the whole row of buildings look good together. I particularly love the Bowling Alley. Is it on the gallery?

Thunderclap

The Industrial Kit made we build a spaceship. Because Airducts.

This is Thunderclap. She is a Pirate/ Rebel Ship.
Available on the Gallery HERE. Thunderclap loves travelling and fits on any 40x30 lot. No CC. No MOO. Just a lot of Batuu.

Unfortunately you won't find her in space like below. You will find her neatly parked on one of the planets... o:)

Thunderclap.

@CAPTAIN_NXR7 You are so made of Awesome! Thunderclap is magnificent. You made this in a day? Amazing. I will be proud and honored to have her parked on a lot in my game.

As a rebel/pirate ship, she would probably like having foxes on the lot with her, don't you think? B)

@CAPTAIN_NXR7 where in your game did you put ThunderClap. May I see a pic?

@BlkBarbiegal Let's just say that when she landed Johnny Zest's trailer got blasted out of the hood. I made sure the poor lad wasn't at home when it happened. o:)

I also discovered that when the ship is flipped by any degree, some of the roof objects disappear and floor patterns get jumbled up. This is a very annoying bug and just something to be aware of.

I built the ship in Oasis Springs:

Entrance is at the back via a ramp metal stairs.

I wish we got a planet world with space lots in this game.

Oh well, I could not get my bowling alley lanes to fit. :p

Haha, indeed, but bowling alley lanes would be on an entirely different ship. The Big Lebowship, perhaps? :p

@CAPTAIN_NXR7 Wow, that ship is incredible! ❤️ The detail and creativity is amazing! Man, it practically takes me a whole day to build one room, lol.

How many does she sleep? I have a couple of shipless crews who would be honored to voyage on such majesty.

Thank you @LiELF !

She sleeps 5:
One spacious en-suite with sleeping pod for the captain (naturally …?) and 2 tiny bunk-cabins for the rest of the crew! Fair is fair.

Ooh, that'll do nicely! I do have a Twi'lek scoundrel crew of six , but one is the teen daughter and stowaway of the condemned Bounty Hunter on the run, so she wouldn't have a bed anyway. ?

Thank you @Hearts4u @Gamer_34567544 @comicsforlife @Babykittyjade @AncientMuse @Monet11 @SERVERFRA for your kind comments! <3

If a spaceship could blush, Thunderclap would be blushing right now. o:)

After they released DHD and then Cottage Living, I put my Star Wars strip on the back burner. Initially I had a museum first, Star Wars restaurant, bowling alley and my Star Wars night club. Ended up replacing the bowling alley (since it wasn't themed) with your build. I plan to use your build as a museum on my Star Wars strip. Now, I just need my Star Wars bowling alley to finish off the strip.

Great to see the ship on your Star Wars strip! How about a Space Ship with a bowling alley?
I'm only messing, unless I'm not. ?

It would be nice if they add a costume category to CAS. That is the one thing I feel my Star Wars themed restaurant is missing. I want all the guest to have on Star Wars attire when they dine.

Agreed. I like the way Dine Out's restaurants come with customization options and in particular customer dress code, but I feel there should be subfilters to each outfit category based on packs or themes similar to the way furniture has been categorized for the likes/dislikes system in DHD. That way we could simply pick "Star Wars".
In addition to this, more public lots should have these options.

@CAPTAIN_NXR7 no you did NOT just make me go buy the industrial pack just to download this ???

Haha. Did I or did I not? If I did, I apologize. ?

@CAPTAIN_NXR7

Wow what an awesome build! You have soooo much patience when it comes to building and putting in all those great little details..... I can't imagine how many hours/days/weeks you spent finessing and pulling everything together to create this beastly masterpiece.

Well done you! <3

Thank you! All in all it took me a solid day to build the ship.

I find building space ships much easier than building houses since it's a fantasy already complete in my head. Geekboy here. When the basic structure is done, I just tinker away until she's ready for take off.
A house....oof, not so much. I need a lot more reference for it to make sense.

I've been working on a series of space ships because there can never be enough spaceships in my world.

... well..., poot. Poot, I say, on you and your freakin air ducts.

There can never be enough airducts in my world either. ?

How did you make the walls roundish? I've never been able to make my starships go like that & I built Voyager & Enterprise. However, I only have the Sims 4 packs & most of the kits. No mods.

This girl is 100% CC & Mod-FREE as are all of my builds. I could nickname her "Vanilla Thunderclap". In fact, I prefer that name. ?
I rarely use MOO and I do not use the TOOL mod. Ship is playtested so routing shouldn’t cause an issue.

I do however find that when I place a MOO free build, the game will still recognize it as built with MOO. This seems to be a bug that needs to be addressed . I haven’t checked EA Answer HQ on that yet.

Pack items that are most prominent in this build are from Journey to Batuu, Strangerville, Get To Work and the Industrial Kit (not sure if I mentioned airducts yet?).

As for the "curved" walls, that's simply roof magic. The rest is hexagons, octagons and all kinds of “-gons”. Still wishing for a curved wall and ceiling - tool tho.

I would love to see your Voyager & Enterprise builds!

Journey to Batuu gets too much hate. Yes, I realize it is a Star Wars based pack but if you're not a Star Wars fan and you're not into a pack based mostly around gameplay don't get it. I personally like the gameplay and the world, and I'm glad to see a positive thread towards this pack. I am a huge Star Wars fan so I was extremely excited about this pack and for me it exceeded my expectations. I didn't think that EA could do much with Star Wars in The Sims 4, but the gameplay is very engrossing and It's fun to lose yourself in the Star Wars world. Enough with the hate people, this pack if for entertainment purposes.

I have it but haven’t played it yet. If they do a refresh on this pack, I would love a vacation lot on Batuu, or even some livable home lots.. I have made an adventurer for batuu, but it would be nice if she could take her dog along with her too, at least to a vacation lot.
