Third Fall
Fishermen
2/23/2009 1:08 PM
Down in the port in wooden shacks, torn by winds and sea, live the fishermens families.
Fishing
The beach was their playground and workingplace.
Swimming
Swimming in the ocean - fun and good for your health, all year round.

Fishing
The Fishermen kids early learn to fish.
Dorus on Catfish Island
Erwin Swann, owner of Catfish Island, greets Dorus Chandler, a newcomer to Windleport. Will he join the fishermen, or will he seek other opportunities? For now he rents a room in the harbour.

Like the other fishermens wives, Vivian married young and already is pregnant. There are signs of many many children in this family's future.
 
Strand's Shack

Harbour Shacks

Windleport has two beach areas, one on the north and one on the south side. The north side is still undeveloped, the harbour is built on the south side. It is a simple medieval harbour, with piers and fishing shacks. The people living in this part of the town are not rich, they are fishermen and sailors.
View from Sturge's Shack
Erwin Swann, a young trader and business man, has bought a fishing cliff outside the port, where he hired a number of fishermen and their wives to work for him to catch as much fish as possible. His goal is to open a fish market, as he wants to sell the fish in large quantities to the citizens of Windleport as well as to visitors to the city.
He also built himself a nice mansion, Swann House, which is the first house located on the Pier Boulevard. In the future we can expect more rich families to pick this address for their new mansions.
 
Building notes: The challenge here was to create fishing properties by the water, when sims can only fish in pond water and not in the actual sea. I have solved this with the help of the Lot Expander/Adjuster, creating lots with pond water that are "cut" to have pond water that merges with the surrounding sea. I have also used the pirate ship from the BV expansion to add "Old Harbour" feeling to the port. I wish there was more ships to pick from, not necessarily with a pirate attached, maybe a ship where sims actually could sleep and live? Also, if anyone knows of old ships made as hood decorations, please let me know! And I don't mean ship wrecks, but normal beautiful ships that can sail on the sim waves! Is that too much to ask for? ;)
