The Hong Kong/ Asia BAT Team Presents…

AIG Tower

Model, Modding / Lotting, Custom Menu Icons & Readme – Cockatoo.

Overview:  After what, two years, the long awaited AIG Tower has finally arrived. Let’s be honest, my first attempt at this building was, although well received, horrible. I’d only been BATing for a few months and the model itself was heavily flawed. However, with two years experience now under my belt, I can now finally do this building justice. I won’t bother listing the improvements made to the first version because, well, there isn’t a single thing that hasn’t been improved - it’s a totally new model made with a totally different program. The main points are that the model is now accurately shaped, scaled, textured and has night lighting that resembles that of the real building.

As we all know, since I started this project, the world has endured its greatest financial trouble since the great depression. Because of this, AIG lost its Hong Kong offices and the building is now called AIA Central. However, this project was started when AIG still had the offices (and I’m too lazy to re-name all my files!) so I’m sticking with the name and logo of AIG.

I payed attention to real life when making the model, and I also payed attention when modding it! Be warned, AIG is a troubled company these days! They have greedy executives who need like to spend all their shareholders money on gold watches and private jets and you’ll pay for this! Expect to fork out a ridiculous amount of money every month to ‘bail out AIG’ when using the landmark lot.

Your satisfaction with this second version is more than justified and understandable. A true masterpiece in every respect, and the option to choose between CO

Heh, I thought pride at first too, but the colors are wrong and they're in the wrong order. So just plain rainbow it is. No prob. :D Anyway, your first was good. This is smashing! Glad you took the time to revisit it and perfect it. :D

Great stuff. The only thing that I would say, and this is minor, is at the very top the glas is lt up as if there is an office in there, but behind it is actually the sunken area of the roof. Looks a tad odd. Other than that, great model and well textured.

T Wrecks: Sorry, you must have misread the readme. There's only a CO$$ version available, but I'm sure you could change it to CO$$$ in a split second if you wanted to. Clearlypowa: No real reason, I just decided to do it like that. The growable lot is actually a modified stage 11 CAMeLOT, made a stage 8 for the STEX - in a nut shell it's had its stats cut by almost half and that

Soccerderek: I don't know!! When I see him round I'll ask what's up. Spa: As you can see here, the lighting on the real thing goes all the way to the top! I don't know why, the architect must have just thought it'd look weird being cut off at the top floor. There are lights inside the glass wall at the top.
