About This File

Named for a local health insurance company, ODS Tower is (as of October 19, 2005),  Portland, Oregon's 9th tallest building. The building is a block away from Governor Tom McCall Waterfront Park, and is across Morrison street from a MAX light rail station. The curving side is supposed to mimic a curve in the nearby Willamette River.

 

Contents:

Landmark, CO$$ Plop, CO$$ Growable.

I didn't make any CO$$$ versions because there is all ready too many of them out there. If you would like a CO$$$, please feel free to modify this lot to make one. I may release a CO$$$ lot in the future if demand exists.

Lot Stats:

# of jobs: should be around 1612 CO$$, for both plop and grow versions.

(I used Maxis' Tallinn Office Suites as the basis for pollution, job capacity, etc.. numbers. It should function in the game similarly to this Maxis lot).

Installation Instructions:

Download and unzip the ODS Tower to your C:/...mydocuments/SimCity 4/plugins folder. Choose the version you wish to use, delete those which you wish not, and enjoy!

Misc. info, thank yous:

I'd wish to thank the following people for making this building possible:

Jtportland: Sent some really useful textures and offered much guidance despite his busy schedule lately.

Pegasus: Helped me figure out why the exported model was looking weird and gave me a really good solution that worked for this problem.

Superstar, Ardecila, and Andreas_roth: All of your opinions and help were crucial in helping me texture this! Thank you very much for your comments and direction!

 Modeling, lighting, and texturing by myself, Sparkythepenguin

One of my favorite buildings in Portland. MUCH better than the BofA across the street. You did a really nice job of modelling it!

Wow, ODS and Zimmer Gunsul Frasca ought to be proud of thier building! After all it was ODS who took a big financial gamble to pull this off, and ZGF designed it. This probably has been my best BAT so far. Just wait til you see Hatfield Courthouse!

Yes! Thank you! Another hometown building. Maybe it's time to finally start that Portland recreation I've been meaning to do.
