Pier that Sims can walk out on.

[O-Decaff]

    This pier can be used with the ships or alone. The sims can walk out on it and you use a sidewalk intersection to lock it to the path. The sims will not walk beyond the sides or end of the pier. It is named Pier in the catalog, and it's dimensions are 44 Ft (13.6 M) Wide and 240 Ft (132 M) Long. The poly count is 1,824 and it can only be place using World Builder. If you notice in the images the deck area is scrached and rough as if from much use, and as the day passes these shadows change. Compressed file name is leroy157_I_Got_Crabs_Pier.rar, and uncompressed file name is leroy157_I_Got_Crabs_Pier.package, catalog name is Pier

This is so neat. Love it. One day, I am going to build a world just for me and have all your wonderful creations in it. :MrGreen:

[Regina]

I know that feeling, Judy! :D

LeRoy, this is great! I'm thinking it needs is some lawn chairs and coolers to go with it. I don't know about where you live but around here docks like this are often lined with people fishing from them. :bag: Even so, it looks like a great place to put a boat and since Sims can walk on it they should be able to fish from it which is pretty awesome. :D

[jenieusa]

This is cool....thank you :)

[O-Decaff]

Regina: I wish people could fish from it and perhaps I will find a work around for that, but for now it can be walked on and objects in CAW can be placed on it. Right on about the chairs and cooler, although here by Lake Michigan it's a little cool for beer, something stronger is needed :cowboy: in January.

[Regina]

I would imagine so--I doubt anyone's drinking much beer beside the reservoirs here either, but then again....

It's a pity they can't fish from it but it would still look great, especially with the boat!

[tjstreak]

Thank you very much for this. I would sort of like to know how you made these because it might help me with some of my projects. I would like to have some walkable surfaces that could be placed over my tunnels.

I am assuming you cloned a bridge of some sort? I would like to string a number of these together to make a marina.

[O-Decaff]

Yes it was cloned from the Long Egyptian bridge but with out an exit on one end, but it could be possible to connect them end for end although I have never tried it. Thank you for comment. O-Decaff:cowboy:

I remember in Sims 2 there was an artificial fishing spot that was designed to let a sim fish in spots where they otherwise couldn't. It looked like a big blue square when you placed it, and turned invisible in live mode. I wonder how hard it would be to make something like that for Sims 3?

[O-Decaff]

Thanks Ghost I will look into that

This is really great!

[janet]

Great idea and something that can really be used also. Thank you.

I hate being a Newb, but I can't get the pier to show anywhere.
When you say must be placed in World Builder, Do you mean Caw, EIG, or regular game Build?
I placed the package in both sims 3 (Docs/EA/etc) and CAW, in their respective Package folder.
And where does it show up, how do I find it. I spent hours trying to find it in all 3 apps, Help.

Having everything installed in the right place, try searching in the Metadata section for "Pier". That is what Leroy said it shows up as in CAW. If you don't find it that way search for Leroy157_I_Got_Crabs_Pier or something similar.

Let us know if this works.
