I have never played Mass Effect, but this lot is amazing! Love the ambiance and detail in it. I think it will be great for any sci fi game anyone would want to play. :)

Default An Initial Thank You
Thank you enormously to everybody who has shared their thoughts thus far, I'm stoked to see that both fans and strangers to the Mass Effect series have been finding enjoyment in this lot!

As for anybody else trying out this lot, please don't not be shy to share your thoughts and opinions here in the comments section, regardless of whether they're positive or negative. If there's any problems that need to be addressed (or any ideas) I would love to know about them.

This looks really cool, but Nooooo! How am I going to interupt calibrations without a battery!
Oh well, not like I can find a turian sim anywhere anyways.
I'll be trying it out later for sure. Very awesome.

A Late Update
Hello everyone! It has been some time. I decided that I owe everyone an explanation as to where I've been and why I still haven't updated and released my Shuttle Bay and Anderson's Apartment lots.

First of all, the delay is entirely my fault: I've been mainly focussing on other things in life over the past few years and haven't much found the time or motivation to finish the projects I was working on for this game. That being said, I have made a fair amount of progress on the resizing of my Anderson's Apartment, which has proven a rather daunting experience thus far, as the building tools in the Sims 3 are vastly inferior to those in the Sims 4, at least in terms of lot adjusting and resizing (that is the price I pay for having made the lot far larger than it should have been).

There are also other struggles with the lot, such as exterior decoration - as of this moment, the outside of the building is akin to that of a massive cube. In my design of the apartment, I attempted to create something that felt as though it was cut directly out of the Citadel itself and placed elsewhere; the obvious problem with this is that, although the interior is immersive and offers a potentially stunning view (depending on where the lot is located), the outside is rather hideous. As much as I wish to fix this, I've had little to no ideas cross my mind whatsoever, and there's a chance that may not change.

Basically, the point I'm trying to make is that I made my Anderson's Apartment into a bit of a disaster and I have no estimate as to when I'll finish the lot, if ever. If I do, you'll most likely find it here on MTS at some point in the future, though in the meantime, there are other people who have had more success with their own designs of the lot and you should be able to find them with a Google search. Unfortunately however you may be out of luck if you're looking for an immersive recreation, as most, if not all of the designs on the internet are in the appearance of a house rather than an apartment, and although they appear visually stunning from the outside, I personally find that it takes away from the Mass Effect feel and vibe. If you search hard enough then you may find one in the form of an apartment, though I've yet to have any luck thus far.

As for the Shuttle Bay, the last I checked, it should be a hundred percent complete and ready to upload. All I have to do is find the time to make a post for it and see if the MTS moderators approve of it. I'll make an update comment for that, so stay tuned! Until then, as Shepard would say, "I should go". :P

Hope you like it!

Generally I'll admire things from a view, but this, I have to say is awesome. The Mass Effect Trilogy is one of my favourite sets of games that I always spend hours in and I gotta say, as far as recreations of the Alliance SR-2 go, this is bloody near spot on and I love it.

I noticed you mention Andersons Apartment being a box, if that's still being worked on - will it ever get released, and what about some weird paneling outside of it? I don't care if it's a box personally, I'd just love to have Andersons apartment - maybe 2 versions, cube and one with an extended bit to make it less cube-like? Just some ideas, either way, awesome awesome place.
