About This File

Cruise Ship Terminal Building, by Mattb325.

The in game cruise ship building has always been a disappointment, and while a few folk have attempted to re-lot the original, I am unaware of anything that has ever been released that complements (rather than over-writes) the function of the cruise ship building.

Using the cruise ship terminal helps to break through demand caps, increase mayor and landmark ratings, and provides jobs; all of these enable you to get a thriving high end commercial services sector and enable a higher populations of R$$ and R$$$ sims. This is crucial to helping build large cities.

In real life, most cruise ship terminals are fairly swank affairs as, just like airports, they are often the first impression a visitor has of a city. This cruise ship building that I have made is modded similarly to the in-game version and I have also made custom seawalls for the lot.

Like the ingame version, it is found in the rewards menu and provides jobs once plopped. It therefore needs road access.

Unlike the ingame version, it does not require certain thresholds to be met before being unlocked, and it can also be placed more than once in the same city.
It does NOT replace the Maxis version and you can have both co-exist in the same city if you wish.

The lot size is a more realistic and substantial 7 tiles wide by 5 tiles deep.

Stats:

Plop cost: $28,000
Maintenance Cost: $180
Bulldoze Cost: $269
R$$ Jobs: 45
Demand created: 45
Pollution: 1 (air) 1 (water) 11 (garbage)
Radii: 2/4/1 tiles
Landmark Effect: 60 over 24 tiles
Mayor Rating: 10 over 256 tiles
Water consumed: 75 Gallons
Power Consumed: 50MwH

Thanks mystic_destiny, but the Sydney Overseas Terminal is all just very,very plain roof, which probably wouldn't translate too well in SC4, so I actually took my queue from a terminal on the other side of the Pacific (it isn't a recreation however) ;-)

I was just thinking about this today. I appreciate your approach to not replacing the Maxis one.

It looks awesome.

When I downloaded dependencies it said,"This file is not commonly downloaded and could be dangerous".So I discarded it.

@ KonstantinII - if you have Norton 360 (or similar AV), turn it off as when running the installer - it often says that for installer files on the LEX or STEX ....
