Beautiful! I think this is the first time I see the pirate ship being used in a build and I love the concept

And another one of your awesome 'Games of Sims' - Lots! The introduction of the Iron Circle as a far away empire with an outpost that sounds like it's rotting - or rusting? - away for some time gives this a sense of unmatched realism when it comes to be a part of this world....

Concerning the other 'river lots' - mind sharing them too? Too bad we can't really add a lot to a river in Sims 2 - except with Lot Adjuster, but that tends to end up a messy business...

There's really not enough to them to warrant sharing, I probably spent 10 minutes at the most putting both of them together- it's just a river sized to line up with the upstream/downstream borders on this lot, and then a few splashes of terrain paint and some trees.

And the Iron Circle is probably the 'country' in this world that I've figured out the most history for at this point, but since I haven't actually started building much for it, I figured this kind of abandoned border outpost linked to some of its history was a good way to start introducing it!

Just a phenomenal application of the pirate ship which, as others have said, I'm not sure I've ever seen used outside of a vacation lot (for such a wonderfully complex object with numerous interactions, it isn't the most useful!).

But there is so much more to appreciate here than just utilizing that object. The architecture of the outpost is fantastic. Fantastic use of CFE for the archways and the dummy level, and I keep looking over the floorplans to see how everything fits together, and it is really brilliant.

Just a superbly creative lot that, even if I don't have a use for it in my game, really sets an extremely high bar for how we can still utilize some more "eclectic" TS2 objects in amazing ways.

Zarathustra, when will you build Esgaroth? I have been dreaming about it for years. Great work! <3

This project had actually kind of started out going in that direction, but Esgaroth just seemed like it needed more space than you can really get over the water and still have things look good... I'm still trying to think of other situations that could justify a kind of similar architectural design though!
