I want to build a resort but it appears that you have to place a resort tower on the lot for it to work. Problem is I can only find 3 resort towers and I don't like any of them.

Is there a way around this? Is it possible to make your own resort tower?

Not as long as there is no "resort tower rug" or "portal". Here's to hoping that somebody will make one.

Misty & Velocity Grass have made one...

This has been a real problem discussed since we first heard about the resort tower. Glad we're not the only ones thinking the towers are unsuitable.

This is big news! I soo hate the eco modern tower. I've downloaded the rugs and hope to try them out this weekend.

Thanks - that's exactly what I wanted. I hoped someone had found a way round having to use the awful resort towers that came with the game.

MargaretPendragon! Why didn't she tell us? I've been waiting on those rugs. Thanks for letting us know, Cameranutz.

Sorry Lewis! We'd been discussing it in the Modding Discussion forum here, so I didn't think to announce it elsewhere. I see you found them on my site though, and I'll be uploading them here to MTS as well, I just need some good resort screen shots for the post.

Couldn't stay miffed too long. *HUGS* :lovestruc

After getting a little sleep, I will start on my dirty motel. So tired with those damn dive lots.

Yay! I can't wait to see it! If any of ya'll have screen shots of resorts you've made, feel free to PM them to me. I might could use some for the MTS upload to show the versatility we now have to make our style of resorts.

this might be the reason to install cc again in my so-new-reinstalled-vanilla-sims-game
thank you so much <3

Great news. I'll fire up my half forgotten LP game once more, to see what can be done with the dilapidated motel "on the wrong side of the tracks".

Have any of you made your own resorts/hotels yet? I could use a couple screen shots of how the rugs let you make whatever kind of resort you want. I wanna go ahead and get these uploaded to MTS by tomorrow hopefully.

I haven't had much time to build just yet, plan on doing some this evening after Momma have her dinner. Question, on your site you have a number of how many sims a RH tower holds, so that is staff and guests included? Do I need one for staff and one for guests? I am quite excited to get started on it and will share the library file in your PM box.

Thanks Lewis. I'm trying to work on mine too, but it's not pretty enough for screen shots yet, and I'd like some good example screen shots for the upload.

The capacity is just how many guests the tower can hold. You don't need anything extra for the NPC workers, they'll come and go from the tower rugs and around the property as needed, and don't count toward guest capacity.

Thank you for the fast response, will get on it in another hour or so.

I've just made a resort using your amazing rugs and am waiting for it to be approved or rejected here at MTS (as I write). But I am sure it's not the sort of chic place you'd want/love to show off your work, it's a run down motel.

The one thing I've had the most difficulty with is actually getting Resort shots - mine is a 40x40 build and I have had a devil of a time getting anything half decent to look at - They are more complicated to 'capture' than a house. I was tearing my hair out at one stage! It got to the point where I'd have paid someone to do the necessary screenies for it! lol!

If it gets sent back to me it'll be because of the screenies not being 'good' enough and nothing to do with the build at all - the rugs work amazingly well - I have the base rug in one 'dummy' resort cabin and it functions perfectly. I just wanted to thank you personally for it, and naturally I have credited you and VG for your hard work.

Thanks fairycake! I hope it gets approved and I can't wait to see it! Hey, there's nothing wrong with a rundown motel, that's the whole point of the rugs, so we can make whatever we want without having to use the EA resort towers. I uploaded the rugs here yesterday, so hopefully we'll have them here soon as well.

I know what you mean, it really is hard building a decent resort. I'm still building the one for my island, and keep rearranging parts of it. I almost need to bust out some graph paper and go oldskool in trying to figure out how the layout can best be done.

I'm getting NRaas script errors when I install this rug. So I guess I'm stuck with that big ugly thing.

Really? I've been using it with no issues I'd get help in the rug download thread (and/or NRaas).

Here's my newly rugged resort... removing the Spanish rabbithole gave me space to put in a wedding arch... not sure what I'm going to do with the rest of the room! Rug is in the arched room on the left (and my sims' houseboat is in back, heh). 4 VIP rooms and a lobby in the building on the right, will probably add more VIP rooms on the second story now that I can Intimate but elegant and romantic is what I'm going for!



Love your motel btw Fairycake!

I haven't had a problem either and using it in 2 of my resorts in town. Have played several days with it.

I've not gotten any script errors either, at any time during testing and play.

Sri, what a beautiful resort! I *really* love the pool area.

A small French provincial hotel I've been wanting to build ever since WA came out. It's called La Jeune Veuve (a long and sad story). Guest rooms are on the first floor; reception, breakfast room, bar, restaurant and magazine are on the ground floor. It's running perfectly ... well, at least as well as you can expect a small French provincial hotel to run.


Hmmm ... Are they sure this is a VIP Room?

Very pretty, Pico!

About the prior issue someone mentioned of having NRaas script errors--I have had this happen once or twice now. Peeking at the error files, it was something to do with the swimming pool on the resort lot, in my case. A reset lot or reset everything fixed it both times it happened for me.
