Introduction / Overview
The taller one of the two International Finance Center (IFC) buildings in Hong Kong was completed in 2003 and is the tallest building in Hong Kong as of 2006, topping out at 415 m (1,362 ft). However, if everything goes as planned, it will lose this rank as early as 2007 to the International Commerce Center, which is planned to be 484 m (1,588 ft) high.
This BAT is an accurate recreation of the real-life building, except for details at the base, where it has been adapted to SC4 requirements.
What's new in version 2?The second version has been improved in several aspects. The most notable differences include:
- The render has been fully successful this time instead of showing only 2 sides
- The textures have been darkened and improved
- Night lights now work at zoom 3
- The overall night lighting scheme has been improved
- The base has been removed, allowing this version to grow on a 4x4 lot instead of 5x5
- Occupant numbers for the functional versions have been increased
- Likewise, both effect and plop / maintenance cost have been increased slightly for the landmark version
- New menu icons
- This readme! =P
- Ploppable landmark
- Ploppable functional CO$$$
- Growable CO$$$
All lots share the same basic design, but flora and people on it are randomized and will change every time the building grows or is plopped.
Note: Ploppable and landmark versions feature individual custom menu icons that will allow you to see immediately which version is which. Moreover, both versions are to be found conveniently grouped together near the bottom of your landmark menu.
Dependencies
None - everything is included!
