Murf, disconnect your internet, open the launcher and check the disable updates. Then you can reconnect and don't have to worry about the automatic updates. I use Zone Alarm and block EA and the launcher from the internet. I can still install files with it and play the game. I cannot buy from the store using the launcher but I don't care about that right now.

I've already done that. And I can block the launcher from the net too but I do use the Store.
But you did give me an Idea. I can disconnect when I get the update complete message after new updates so when it tries to install the older one it will not be able to start. I can just exit, start my launcher and it'll say game up to date. And then reconnect. Thanks.

Anyway back to VC. Let's not let this thread get off-topic again.

Not much of a update, but I've made my boat for TS3. Might have to edit the reflection/coloring. I've been sidetracked with many other projects and school. So this has been a slow process for me.

How did you get the lot to work when placed into the water? I'd love to have some decks that go out over the sea, but lots placed on the water have poor texturing which shows right through brightly, no matter how deep they are in the water.

Good question Claeric. I'd like to know that too.

Great job F-P. I swear I can imagine my hubby on that lot playing Vice City. I remember the area of the game it is from and all I can say is WOW.

I don't think he put a lot in the water, I think he put the boat and deck off-lot. (I've seen off-lot decks elsewhere) But I've no Idea how he did it cause he never seems to tell us his tricks, like how he got the skyscrapers into the game.

Thanks guys!

For the dock, I just put the lot in water, that's it. It didn't cause any problems for me. For the first picture though, that lot is causing a problem in the water, and I hope I will get that fixed when I move onto the next island.

I think that if the water is quite shallow, like on the left here you can see the grassy terrain is still there?



Well, if you then make a terrain paint that's solidly blue and paint over everything there, the terrain colour doesn't change when you place a lot.

FP - I love your world. The water looks so nice and fresh. Bravo.

Also, sorry for the intrusion on your thread

FP, this is looking awesome! The boat looks great, and I love the texturing and all the little details. I also like how the boat is more submerged in the water than the TS2 one, which adds in realism.

The translation from TS2 to TS3 is truly amazing and it really demonstrates how superior TS3 is graphically.




Sorry I didn't see this earlier.

So those are actually from the game? Like you just took em out from the game and imported them into the Sims? Are you *allowed* to do that, like legally and post it for download?

And is it to sim scale?
Just wondering.

BTW, it looks great.

I don't know if it's to sim scale i just made it for an example.
About policy, i don't actually know if it's allowed but if he make couple of changes the it is not stealing.

I will remove images if it's against the rules, but i think it would me more authentic if there are some real Vice City stuff.
I think it would be hard to get permission from RockStar

Well, now that I think about it, it would be okay, as long as it's not for sale.

It's all about money.

That's a great idea hudy777, and the boat looks great!

As for permission, I would assume it would be okay. I actually tried to contact Rockstar to ask for permission of making a GTA car for the Sims a few months back, but I tried 2 different departments and all they emailed me back is " this is the wrong department for this question". I was " Thanks, but can you tell me which is the right one?" lol. Never got an answer back :P

So I would assume that the cars would be driveable and the RC's would be decoration. But what about the boats? Are the boats driveable or decoration?
