The Cobb Troglodyte Complex 1.0

Interesting with the first comment. 8/10

Way cool! I LOVE IT! 10/10

Wow, really neat. I like how you made the building take adveantage of solar power and geothermal energy. It sort of takes on the theme of the arcos from SC2000.

Very unique ideal and well executed also. Keep up the great work.

The future is here.

I wouldn't want a lot of these growing, but it's definitely a nice change from the usual R$!

Pretty Cool!

Meh, as a very big fan of your work, I honestly have to say that this isn't my favorite. To me, this lot doesn't come anywhere near to showing your BAT skill. Also, I make realistic cities, so this just isn't for me. 10 anyways because I don't believe in the rating system.

Great! Reminds me of the hatch on "Lost", the TV show!

I thought, when I made Cobb's new logo, that the old logo was out of touch with Simtropolis as it is today. The new logo keeps the diamond motif used, but drops the number 32118 at the end and "BAT Designer". The elimination of the latter was because BATs went from contraband in 2004 (to quote Cobb: "2004 was a century ago in online gaming time") to very commonplace in 2006. I hope you like the logo (made using GraphX equipment). Tracker

Cool, but WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much roof junk. 7/10

Looks like a junky step backward for your work to me. Your work is usually among my favourite.

Excellent idea !

underground sounds cool, but when we talk 6,4k ppl, it becomes irrelistic, plus the roof should just have lots of air fans to pump and filtrate the air.

Folks read the bottom line of the Description before complaining.Someone made a request and Cobb answered.

I think the humor in this has gotten lost since people don't read the description. But you guys do know what a "troglodyte" is, right? The idea was that people keep asking me to do a R$, which isn't my style. So if you bury the poor sims underground, you don't have to look at the low wealth buildings. So, as I said in the description, don't take it too seriously. --Cobb :-)

Thanks Blackbeard, you beat me to it, buddy.

Nice... is it possible to make it into a plopable building? I'm sure it will fit in well. Thx

yeah the mighty cobb is back. only a 82.14% for this lovely building? I love this one and a great idea btw.I'll rate it a 10/10

Troglodyte was what my mother used to call my brother as he never came out of his room lol Even today he's a typical 'cave dweller'. If he ever saw the sun I think his eyes would explode! lol As you say, the humour seems to have been lost, but not here ... my kind of off-beat humour!

not one of your better ones, cobb. I don't like, maybe because Im more of a 'realistic' mayor, but I know there will be others that will.

Brilliant Work, 10/10! :)

Looks sorta brutalist.Cobb i know this may be rude but good textured buildings are a must nowadays,the textures you use are way to bright.i know this wasnt such an issue in 2004 but alot has changed,now people go for gradients and what not.The people who comment on the stex are also A LOT more pickier now than they used to be,that can be pretty annoying sometimes.Try getting some better textures and you will integrate in the 2006 era of the stex better.For the modeling though it's a 9.

i'm sure some people here has ancestry dating back to the middle ages where they were cursing people who started the renaissance, come on people there's really nothing to be scared of in innovation and creativity . This looks like a physically sustainable complex, it's a bit sci-fi I agree, but everything was sci-fi once and now we call them technology. So thanks for the creativity, there's nothing wrong in breaking established paradigms, be it in architecture, art or whatever... 10/10

and I agree with glenni about the textures :)
