About This File

This building was built in the late 1960s to house the headquarters for First Chicago Bank.  Over the subsequent 30 years, First Chicago was absorbed into Bank One, which was then absorbed into JPMorgan-Chase Bank.  Today, Chase Tower is a very distinctive building, at the geographical center of Chicago's Loop district.  Its sunken plaza and restaurants provide a place to rest and relax in the city.

FlibbidyFleu's building came out several years ago, and it was a very high-quality BAT for its time.  I was disappointed because it lacked the very-cool sunken plaza adjoining the building  The parade/dancing scene in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" was even filmed there.  So I BATted it as a separate prop and made a new lot, then re-modded it for personal use.  Later, when I had a chance to contact FlibbidyFleu, I sent him my reworked lot, and he permitted me to release it.

 

NOTE - this building does not have nightlights.
There is nothing I can do about this, because it was made that way.

There are two variations included - a vanilla Landmark, and an RCI ploppable.

Sorry to the growable fans - 6x6 is the limit, I think, for growables, and this is 6x7.

-CB Edit: Fixed issue with plaza not showing on the lot due to a props descriptor file problem. Also corrected exemplar issues causing conflicts between the Landmark and ploppable commercial version (with jobs).

Fantastic BAT, nightlights would be a great addition, but it's excellent the way it is, and it would be incredibly unfair if I lowered the rating for it.

It's nice to see that you added the plaza at the base of the building. One question, are you going to fix your version of the Smurfit Stone Building soon? Looking forward to more, very nice job! 10/10 :)

Ard, in case you didn't know, BSC started making mega lots a while back...and Barby even posted how to on the STEX. I don't know if the file was lost in the transition to 5.0, but it should be somewhere in her collection. Just noting that for future lots of yours, which are hopefully excellent like this!

when i modified my Chase Tower lot description to include credit to FlibbedyFleu, you guys still didn't give me a double thumbs up on growable. How is this different? I give ardecelia 9/10, but i cannot understand all of this.

skyasaurus, it's not enough to just post someone else's work and then give them credit, but to also get PERMISSION from the creator. Plus, when you uploaded your work, you first claimed that you were the creator of it! No thumbs up for that.

skyasaurus: Its because 1. You did not origionally get permission from FlibbidyFleu. You eventually put his name at the bottom of your description, but its not the same thing. 2. Ardecila actually added something to the lot - he didn't just re-upload it. --------------------------------- Anyway, very nice Ardecila, 10/10 from me.

Excellent work! Glad to see the plaza finally created. Though, I seem to have a problem with the building; I can't get the your plaza to show up at all. After unzipping and placing all necessary files into my plugin

No, actually the plaza isn't working for me either. I have the DT Trees Pack installed already, but it's still not working.
