Fay Starlight Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I ordered a new houseboat creator kit since the new boat changes and noticed all the new textures are missing thus far! Is there any way to get those? It looks to me many are reused from other themes (like the Hickory floor for example), however the outside siding for the new boats would be very nice to have! I didn't see it in the pack? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay Starlight Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) I might add, I probably only noticed because I made a mesh shell for my boat on Shark Bait. Edited December 11, 2022 by Fay Starlight 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay Starlight Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) I see the originals in the box, however the NEW boats don't have the same outside textures at all. They redid the colors on a new plank siding. I want to get the new textures and they are not in there--I am posting a picture of contrast between the original (in the creators kit) and the new textures on the new boat. What you see is the original white on the right and the new outer white on the left on the actual boat.

Chloe Bunny Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 I can see the difference now - I guess you could screenshot your new colour and make a seamless texture from that - I did so with Victorian sidewalk when it wasn't available but it would not be super quality or as easy as having the new shades! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you see is the original white on the right and the new outer white on the left on the actual boat. Try using the exterior siding texture from the Stilt Content Pack and turn it 90 degrees. Here it is compared to the new houseboat. You can see in the middle it's a near, not 100%, but pretty darn close. The baked in ambient occlusion though on the homes is apparent as the shading changes at the edges. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Starlight Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Thank you, I had actually thought about trying other themes siding, but hadn't gotten around to it yet.... I made a mesh shell that I can set to blank on texture and then make it about 65-70 percent transparent. When tinted it will "tint" the siding as well. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not the best HB in the region, but I just loved it: only one neighbor in the back, and surrounded by trees. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elena Blossom Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I just wish we could rotate them, as the campers and log homes. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I wish they would bounce up and down with the waves and tides (even though they are "docked")! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chloe Bunny Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 And I wish they were driveable vehicle homes we could dock anywhere... 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Della Starlight Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Very disappointed - I got the new contents creation pack for houseboats and inside is a box containing the winter lights...but not updated for my Dock Holiday...will have to use something else...Xmas lights a "must have"! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chloe Bunny Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 I am glad that after a really long sleep I wake up to still be able to get houseboats in new regions - whenever they do a big release of new homes to catch us Europeans but we happen to be out of tries you have to go to bed wondering if there will be anything left the next day - I am a fan of them releasing a bigger batch together. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maitimo Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I've always wanted to like houseboats but never did, really. I was keen to try the new styles so I grabbed one on Monday to give it a try. And... I'm kinda weirded out by them. Externally they look great but interior, the layouts are.. strange. The two single-storey ones both have exterior doors in rooms that can really only be used as bedrooms (unless you decide that you don't want the living room area overlooking the water - which kind of defeats the object of having a houseboat at all). Of the two two-storey ones, the Doc Holliday has no water view upstairs, and the Jolly Roger has no exterior acess to the water (plus, it's just too darn big). Also two of them have the main entrance on the opposite side from normal. After messing with all 4 styles for a few hours I gave up, tossed it back and decided that houseboats are officially my least favourite theme of all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chloe Bunny Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share Posted December 14, 2022 I would say that they are one of my favourite themes but not sure if keeping - I wanted to check out these new styles - I do like the Holiday one it seems the closest to Williamsburg on Water but there are just too many stilt similarities I think for me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about the internal divisions, but I'm a bit suspicious about this subject since even in RL my house is an open plan, About the Windows you have to be lucky for them to open to the side where you have a view beyond the neighbors. Anyway, I've been having fun this week with the Dock Holiday decor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
