I hate the houseboats that came with the game (surprise) there is not really a way to build prety looking ships at all with them.
So I was thinking what if we took the slim (6x22) barge and put a "hull"over it that at least looks like a ship, and maybe covers the barge, and maybe the first floor? so we can make proper ships?
I have tried a bit with these meshes but not surprisingly sucked at it.
my idea was to use just the hull shape and do the upper structures in game
so I downloaded the software, and blurred out not knowing where to start.
These meshes are what I had in mind.

Anyone else who would like to see better movable boats ? or is willing to give this a go?

That's an interesting idea. Not sure if it's doable, but I'm sure it's well beyond my nonexistent meshing skills.
However, with a bit of creativity, it is possible to make the barges look somewhat boat-like. Such as -

I know that it is kinda possible to make those barges kinda look like ships, i have build some with CFE cheats to make them even kinda better than those. they kinda look right but it is still just that.. Kinda so not right at all... they will never look near what I have in mind or resemble a ship no mater how drunk i will get myself ;-)
they do not resemble any ship/yacht/boat in existence today.
Even with normal tools I am able to build better ships than what is possible on the limits EA gave us for boats and then they changed the possibility to build walls in water at all so now I can not build anything anymore :(
for example this is the private yacht my Sims have now:
It was build before Island Paradise and although it looks to be afloat,is not sail able. it just sits there which is annoying.
It seems EA kinda thinks hey, we have a great idea.. houseboats, now lets see how we can make it that only 4 year old girls can think they rule..
Sizes are off and not changeable, the barges look like drawn in a drunken mood by someone with even worse modelling skills than me, and the recoloring options seem to suit with those criteria to.
I have some ideas of how to make them better, but my meshing skills are most likely worse than yours.
What I have in mind is just a plain hull that fits over the 8x22 barge,so it can be a slender hull and then we can build our own upper structure in/on it
this google scetchup model gives an idea, the lower green line is where the underside of the bare will be and the red line is where the upper part is, leaving plenty space to build your own structure on top of it.
I even found some nice meshes that are free to use and can be used to make some variety of ships.
but I do not know how to.

They're not supposed to look like ships or yachts. They're houseboats. Houseboats tend to be squared off and clunky.

not all of them are, here in Holland it is quite common to convert a boat to be a houseboat.
on a side note, houseboats have no place on the oceans either, they stay on rivers and lakes and the ones EA gave us do not.
Hell they cant even be on other water than the oceans.
Besides those point I think it would be awesome to be able to live on a proper boat, have fish trawlers, Tugboats and other ships docked to make the game look more real or have a private yacht for my rich Sims.
we have tons of cars from Fresh Prince and Understretch imagination but still fugly boats.
