The MS Plumbob Dream is a Plumbob-class cruise ship owned by Vacation Island Cruise Lines. Sailing to multiple ports-of-call around the world, the MS Plumbob Dream is truly your home-away-from-home!
Imagine surfing in Sunlit Tides, al fresco dining in Monte Vista, beachside cocktails in Isla Paradiso, and even onshore hotspring excursions in Aurora Skies- all from the same ship! Sound like a fantasy? No- It’s reality.
Though superseded by newer, more exciting ships like the Llama-class ships (with their triple-decker bars and whatnot), the MS Plumbob Dream along with her sister ship MS Plumbob Aspiration are still among Vacation Island Cruise Lines’s most popular ships- in no little part due to their enduringly ‘low’ rates, “”all-inclusive”” packages and even their commonly marketed “””free””” cruises.
There might be a few spills along the way like drunk captains and viral outbreaks, not to mention the occasional iceberg or rogue wave- but if you’re looking for an unforgettable AND affordable break from the daily grind, make the MS Plumbob Dream YOUR next destination!
So basically a one week project that grew into a two-three(?) week project. I was inspired in part by @Nilxis’s Vacation worlds, a series of small, fast-loading worlds that your sims could escape to via NRaas’s Traveller mod!
The second inspiration is that this world could also act either as an in-between point in your sims’ travels (i.e. actually traveling from Sunset Valley to Sunlit Tides instead of poofing there) or also as a destination in itself!
Five lots to build on (two 30x50 lots, three 60x50 lots).
Fast-loading! Only 14MBs in size!
Remember to turn off wildlife & horses if you have Pets. The MS Plumbob has kennels, but not stables!
No spawners! Keep that at home or for your on-shore excursions!
Ideally, remove all overriding weather mods as the one included within the files is specifically designed for the world. Otherwise, a custom sea movement package is included, which you can place into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Overrides folder.
Ideally works best with at least one resort lot, and the rest being community lots of your choice.
None, all custom-made CC is included in the world file.
However, to get the full experience, you will want at least Island Paradise in order to build resorts for your sims and/or World Adventures to build a base camp/generate tourists.
Alternatively, get it here.
Place mods into the Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder.
Put on the Sims 1 Vacation soundtrack while you load up the game.
If you don’t have the Sims 3, you can place the file on your desktop and admire it there.
Happy travels, and more importantly, take lots of pictures!
