About This File

It has been over a year since I have uploaded anything to the STEX, but I finally managed to export something, a monument that needs no introduction.

There are no special modifications to the lot, or any other graphical improvements within SimCity besides the tower itself.
Although, I had originally intended to have the lot modified, I simply did/do not have the time to worry about any further progress.

However, the model itself is greatly improved over the past uploads. This model includes the new esplanade, the Restaurant Jules Verne, elevators, stairwells, etc. Everything is scaled correctly (although, in real, life the Tokyo Tower is larger, in-game, it was scaled poorly; I used the Chrysler Building as my source of scaling).

I must thank SimFox for helping me with my exporting issues and providing mea new lighting rig for BAT4max, and I must also thank the members who helped me in other issues during my progress. 

For my progress with this model (and to see the amount time and effort I put into the detail), view this thread:

Well, thanks everyone. r-one, the scale of the base should be almost perfect (within half a meter of the real one). The height, however, was a bit more difficult to fit within simcity since the simcity angle tends to "squash" buildings. The antenna goes a bit above the Chrysler Building's spire in reality, I tried as close as possible, but since the exporting takes about 8 hours, I couldn't do much trial and error. I think the height, though, is within 10-15 meters in simcity standards.

Hmm, if you didn't have the time and/or knowledge to mod the lot, why didn't you ask someone else? I'm sure there would have been quite some people who'd loved to help you. :-) That said, this is an absolutely amazing model, a stunning view both in daylight and nighttime mode. Along with the Sydney Opera House, the Eiffel Tower was one of the few landmarks that were truly missing in the game. Great work!
