Building a houseboat is one of the most basic, yet important, things that you can do in The Sims 3. If you don’t know how to start a new port, don’t worry! There are many ways to do it. Here are a few tips to help you get started. Change the size of the port lot. Change the style of your houseboat. Change the windows and dock. Adding a basement is a popular option for adding more space.

Changing the size/style of a houseboat

The first step in changing the size/style of a houseboat in Sims 3 is to select the port. There are two choices – a barge or a bow. Changing the port’s style can be done using the Alt key. Using this method, you will not have to make any changes to your land. You can also create a houseboat port from scratch, or re-use an existing one.

There are two main styles of houseboat ports in the game: docked and unmoored. Docking a houseboat requires a minimum of three square tiles of free space. You can also add a platform for a fishing Sim to stand on. These structures can also be customized with Simoleons. To start building a houseboat port, navigate to “New Game Options” > Houseboats.

Adding windows

Adding windows to a houseboat port requires cheats. To place a window on a houseboat, first build a basement. Then, open up the cheat console and type testingcheatsenabled true and moveobjects on. After building the basement, place windows. Make sure to cut out the exterior wall of the houseboat’s basement. This way, they will not show the ocean floor.

Next, you will want to place the gangway and the parking space. You will want to make sure the gangway is over water. You can also add a mooring post if you need to dock your houseboat. Once you have done that, you will need to set a mooring post. You can buy a mooring post or parking spot under the Vehicles section of the Buy Mode.

Adding a dock

If you want to add a dock to a houseboat port, you need to make sure that you have enough space for the structure. In order to build a dock, you must first start from a flat area on land. Next, drag the dock to the appropriate height and connect it to the land. To make your dock level with the houseboat, you can add stairs or other means of connecting it to the land.

If you already have a houseboat, you will need to create it in a port lot. Once it is built, the Sims will live on it. Once a houseboat is added to the world, the port will become free for another houseboat to use. This allows the player to have several houseboats in one world, all docking at a single port.

Adding a basement

Adding a basement to a house boat port in The Sims 3 is relatively simple. To add a basement, make sure you have a lot on which to build a houseboat. In The Sims 2, you can use a hollow foundation to create a basement, or you can use lowered terrain to build a basement that can be accessed via a means other than stairs.

To add windows to a houseboat port, you will need to use cheats. To do this, build a basement and open the cheat console. Type “testingcheatsenabled true” and then click “moveobjects on”. Once the basement is built, cut a window out of the exterior wall. The windows will be placed on top of the hull, so the ocean floor will not be visible.

Adding a hull

In Sims 3, adding a hull to a houseboat is relatively easy. There’s a new button for this, and this is located in the Edit in Game screen. To add a hull to a houseboat, you’ll first need to edit a port lot. If you don’t want to edit a port lot, press Shift+Ctrl while pressing the gangway or hull. Then, choose the DEBUG Set houseboat lot. Once you have it placed, your houseboat lot will appear in the outside world.

Once you’ve added a hull to a houseboat, you can begin building on the new houseboat platform. Houseboats come in a variety of sizes and shapes. For a small houseboat, it’s crucial to build stairs and a functional All-in-One bathroom. You can even build a speedboat or Aqua Sled so that your Sims can get where they’re going quickly.
