RiverRock Shopping Mall

It's finally here! After over 2 solid months of continuous and intense work, I am proud to present the biggest project I've ever done to date: the RiverRock Shopping Centre.

This is a huge 12x24 USA indoor suburban mall, loosely based off of the Provo Towne Centre Mall in Provo, UT. Completely custom made from the ground up, this mall has it all! There are 3 department store anchors: "JC Penney, Dillard's, and Sears". Also included is a 4th theater anchor "Cinemark", and two upscale restaurants: "The Cheesecake Factory" and "The Bamboo Hut" The mall is a two level design with over 100 stores, a large central food court, indoor children's play area, and a comfortable upper level lounge to rest your feet. Please enjoy this special BAT.

 

Specs:

 

This mall consists of two 12x12 ploppable lots. Place them back to back for one seamless lot. (use your "End" key to rotate the lots in game.) Specs are split evenly between the two lots. Both lots will require transportation, power, and water. access.

 

Jobs: 816 (each lot) for a total of 1632 CS$$ (this is a high number, so make sure you have the demand.)

Placement Style: Ploppable. Found under the landmark menu.

Cost: $80,000 each half for a total of $160,000.

Bulldoze: $14,000 each half for a total of $28,000.

Night Lighted: Yes.

 

Dependencies: Peg's Scenic Drive Kit. The one and only dependency!

 

This lot uses a custom BSC parking lot texture set as seen in Peg's Scenic Drive Set. It's a very popular set and is used throughout the STEX. There is a good chance you already have an instance of the set in your plugins folder already. I recommend installing and loading the mall first, open up the game and see if the parking lots appear on the lots. If they don't, download Peg's set as listed above. I'd recommend using tis set anyways as it's a great and seamless way to expand the mall's parking lots to more realistic sizes.

 

Installation: Unzip the downloaded folder and place the "Mall" folder within your plugins directory. You can rename the folder to your liking or place it into any plugins subfolder if you wish to for organization.

 

Support: This project has been thoroughly tested. If you experience any serious problems, please private message me and let me know. The only known issue I have with it is a "LOD shadow" accross the parking lots caused by the way my hardware acceleration handles shadows. The LODS are custom fit and are very thinly placed across the parking lots to allow for car props amongst the modeled curbs.

 

If this phenomenon is effecting you, simply turn your shadow settings to "low" (my recommendation) or set your graphics acceleration to "software"

 

I'd love to here from your comments. Thank you and please vote as well.

This is staggeringly ambitious, and pulled off with great success, judging by these pics. An incredible amount of detail, and beautifully textured. I'm starting to sound like that guy on the Actor's Studio....heheheh...great job!

Im having a problem with one of the files included. When in downloaded the file into my Plugins folder, I opened up the folder with the 6 files to paste into the plugins folder, and the 3rd file in the batch (its called mall_left-0x5ad0e817_0x55171659....ect.) yea anyway, i copied it to the folder, and when i clicked paste, it just made that "ding" noise and nothing appears the folder. I tried and tried and tried to move it, and it won't go. Can anyone help me??

very,very nice. Only bad thing is the funky roads. I like it that only one dependency is required. I would have liked to see a Macy's in the mall, but very nice store selections overall. 9/10

Just wanted to say that I saw that it was based off of Provo Towne Center, so I went on maps live and wow, what a resemblance, espicially with the roof window skylights and the overall layout. Sorry I complained about not having a Macy's, I kind of forgot that Macy's bought Hechts.

Wonderful BAT! But the stats for pollution are to high, so I changed these with SC4Tool.
