The SSV Normandy SR1 is the flagship of the Alliance Fleet in the first Mass Effect game, and is also the ship commanded by Commander Shepard, the first human S.P.E.C.T.R.E, and we at SIMple Homes have done our best to recreate this fantastic ship in all of its glory, with a few additions which were sadly lacking in the original (such as bathroom facilities and a galley/kitchen).
As you would expect from such a large and bespoke build, there is a lot of custom content that I have created (patterns, walls and ceilings), and all of it is listed below, also with images showing what each piece is. There are also a few pieces not created by SIMple Homes, and those are also listed below.
The Normandy SR1 on this lot is parked hovering over a reduced version of the planet Virmire, where Commander Shepard confronted Saren and blew up his cloning facility in the original game. The ship is accessed via an elevator which takes you onto the main deck.
The layout of the Main Deck is as follows:
- The Bridge - where Joker pilots the vessel, with also a further 4 control seats/desks
- The main corridor with eight more control desks
- The CIC where you would find XO Pressley along with the Galaxy Map
- The Comm. Room - Situated behind the wall labelled NORMANDY, where Commander Shepard contacts the Council
- Two sets of stairs leading down to the Crew Deck
The layout of the Crew Deck is as follows:
- The Galley/Kitchen - Sadly missing in the original game, but necessary here
- The Elevator leading down to the lower decks
- The Mess Hall/Dining Area
- The Captain's Quarters with added bathroom (sadly missing in original game)
- The Med-Bay, which leads to...
- ...Liara's Study
- Kaiden's work area
- Equipment Lockers (Dressing drawers in the original cabinet colours)
- Crew Quarters populated with bunk beds as I had no way of creating sleeping pods
- Crew communal shower room (sadly missing in original game)
- Crew communal toilet facilities (sadly missing in original game)
As mentioned above the elevator on the Crew Deck leads down to Below Deck
The layout of Below Deck is as follows:
- Engineering
- Cargo Bay with 4x4 included as I had no way of creating a Mako
- Ashley's work desk (with tools rather than weapons) and a laptop
- Crew lockers (Dressing drawers in the original cabinet colours)
The ground floor is all Virmire plus the entrance to the main elevator.
We hope that you and your sims enjoy this lot as much as we did building it. It has taken us nearly 2 weeks with the extra content creation, and is our biggest single build so far.
