About This File

Hey it's me again with another trinket of Chicago. The Aon Center, formerly known as the Amoco Building, and even formerlyer :D the Standard Oil building. This building was also the tallest building in the world from 1973 to 1974. This is not an exact model as you can see its shorter than it is in real life (in comparison with the Sears Towers' on here). However this is a more... Artists depiction type dealy. I think it looks ok a little smaller. Oh well I hope you all enjoy this. It's a landmark.

Coolification. Did you know the Aon center was originally built with marble but had to be taken down cos it could not stand high winds. It has since been replaced with all granite.

Actually, they had to remove the marble because it was falling off by itself. Obviously, huge blocks of marble falling off a 1000ft+ tower was not a good thing for the people below.

HEY I GET IT! "Loosing its marbles." {D Another lot/building/prop to track (adding more to my deficit). P.S. I track more lots than I can download.

There should be higher grades than 10 because this deserves about a 13. It's realistic (obviously) and just looks great.

I think I was one of the first to download it, I had to view the building in the game. You did a great job, I like this one a lot. It was the kind of building I was searching for!

I've gotten so many comments that it looks like the world trade center. :P Maybe I should darken the texture a tad, make it a tad taller, and release a World Trade Center version. :P "The World Trade Center Aon Center Mod"

Okay, nice job but i can see problems in the wall allignments when zooming in. Futhermore, at night it's way to illuminated - so much that I fear power shortages ;)

Why is this rated so low? It looks great, and it havent been made before. That qualifies for a 10

Since the night effects don't show up in my SC4 even with the patch, I couldnt see what it lookd like lit up. :P Let's just say this version has an internal powerplant so that the city only has to power a tiny bit. And thanks 4fingers! This lot's gotten a great response from everyone and I'm happy.

Very nice! I like it muchly. However, it seems slightly odd to have dirty chemical tanks next to a big office tower.
