Modern University Lot
I disliked the the maxis university. I wanted a more modern looking one, and so I lotted one. It uses the california plaza model from maxis which fits the bill quite well. You can plop the lot several times next to each other to create a bigger university that looks like it's just one.

Dependencies
.: buildings as props (download it from Screwpile Developements - Maxis Files)
Network Addon Mod

Size: 12x16
Plop cost: 140.000
bulldoze cost: 14.000
montly cost: 3.000

I don't put down all Maxis bats--some of them are still holding their own and they were made by actual people too, not some monster named "Maxis." You did great work here, and for those who think the lot is too repetitive, you can swap out a bldg in LE if you want. 2 thumbs up for a very pleasant surprise.

@francispacheco: No, it doesn't replace the maxis university. It's an additional one, and you can even plop more than one if you want to. Thank you all for your kind words :). I'm already thinking about more lots. I have no idea how batting works, so i decided to stick to what i do know.

I'm shocked and surprized by all of the supportive comments usually they eat a person alive for re-lotting ... you get points for that alone

I agree that three of the same buildings is a bit too much of the good stuff, but I must say this is a very decent use of Maxis buildings in a lot, probably the best I've seen so far. 9/10 (I voted 5 stars to get the rating up to 4.50/5.00)

Yep, excellent work in using a lot using only Maxis props. Maybe using the same building three times wasn't a good idea, but it looks great.

I did comment that it is nicely lotted, and somebody put it right, normally maxis relotted stuff got heavily criticized, but somehow somebody out here decide to rate down anybody who commented that 3 same buildings are too much...go figure!

@carsgolf4: Make sure you have the bldgprop_vol1.dat and bldgprop_vol2.dat in your plugins ... everybody should have those ;-) ... as they are very small files (330K and 68K).

In regards to carsgolf4 and the description that states no dependencies, it is incorrect, because as carsgolf4 has demonstrated, this lot will need bldgprop_vol1 or 2.dat. You should probably update the description on that.

This is the first time I have seen someone doing a decent job using maxis lots. Looking forward to your next releases!

Good job on re-lotting this one. I like how you placed the sidewalks and plazas, and not only is this a university but it could second as an office park.

Great use of the California Plaza, it fits really nicely without looking too repetitive! Bravo! I never thought maxis lots could look quite this nice!

A little more variation would be nice, but it is a good effort like others have said.
