@EastChapel, this is fantastic! I really love the way you have all the ships in your waterways. In fact, I love it so much I'd like to try adding some authenticity to my ports as well. Would you be willing to link the mod for the sailboats/ships you have, or point me in the right direction?

Thank you! Most of them are AP's ships. I used quite a few of their packs in these images. In terms of getting them to work, I had this process:
 

  1. Use PIMX to create a lot with the ship prop
  2. Use Loteditor to make it ploppable on water and raise it up to the water level (as explained by AP in their tutorial). You probably can do this with another tool but I find it easier with Loteditor.
  3. Use Ilive Reader to delete the ground layer (AP also explains how to do this in their tutorial)

It took me awhile to get working, so if you need more detailed instructions feel free to PM.

Way to go, Mate -- ! *:thumb:

Very glad to see you working with the models from @AP -- *:D

And VERY happy to see you have mastered the process of floating props -- *:thumb: *:thumb:
