About This File

6x6 Growable R$ Experimental Underground Community for 6433 Sims.  

Use of the Cobb Troglodyte Complex requires mayors with a sense of
humor and a sense of adventure.

The Troglodyte Complex is a massive underground experimental
planned community for lower income sims. The residental units
lie on many levels below ground level. Being an underground
community, it takes advantage of geothermal energy for electricity
and heat. It makes use of its roof space for solar power, and some
limited food recycling and water treatment. The troglodyte complex
draws its water supply directly from the water table. The complex
attempts to blend with the land and city scape, rather than detract
from the skyline like typical large, dark R$ towers.

The Cobb Troglodyte Complex thrives on public transportation, so
making nearby space for bus stops and rail lines is highly
recommended. Hold the ctrl key to zone for 6x6. Zone for high
density.

The complex was created due to repeated requests for a R$
building. Since the Cobb Firm was unfamiliar with how to create
one, they went with something experimental. (The original model
was created for a 5x5, but the render seemed to have other ideas).

This model could easily be adapted as an industrial building with
the Lot editor.

Big thanks to Tracker for my new logo for 2006.

I hope you enjoy the Cobb Troglodyte Complex. Don't take it too
seriously, and have fun!

Not your best work, but it does the trick. I mean, even if it's supposed to be underground and all that stuff, the exterior part is a bit chunky... I suggest you getting better and less repetitive textures. More organic one, that is. But really not bad, interesting concept.

Man, it's good to see you back. I thought about doing something similar but never did. If you ask me it deserves a ten. Creative and good looking.

I apologize. I promise I read it but somehow missed that it was a request. I agree, I want to hide my R$ too.

I wouldn't want to live in one of these, nor see a lot of these in my city, but it is an interesting experiment anyways. 8/10.
