About This File

After weeks of planning and days of lotting, I can finally present you with the Maximum Security Prison! When I first played SimCity 4, the jail really bothered me. It was too small, and there were no walls or fences to keep the prisoners in! So I decided it would be of benefit to see some more added realism to the game by improving this. These are the main changes made: -

 

- I have merged 4 city jails together to form one large building.

- At the front, there are two security gates and checkpoints with metal fences.

- The walls and surveillance towers fit around the outside.

- The car park at the front uses improved car park textures. (By sc4jeeks)

- Made a small plant area at the front to screen the prison from a road.

- Added guard dogs near the walls - Added a helipad on the roof

- Made an outdoor recreational area, where prisoners can take a break and play basketball, and collect food from the vegetable patch!

- On the left side, I have made a road where delivery trucks can bring food etc.

- Made an area where prisoners do hard labour by bashing rocks. - Transit enabled the first tile on both streets.

- Revised costs and capacity. (Details below)

I think I have succeeded in making a more realistic jail for SimCity. I hope you enjoy using it in your cities. Just a note before you ask, The MSP does not replace the default City Jail.

 

Updates:

21/2/10 - Removed the tennis court and added another basketball court.

4/3/10 - Fixed ingame name problem.

18/4/10 - Updated the link to the PEG Security Prop Pack because of modifications to Pegasus's site.

Effects: 19 searchlights come on at night to spot prisoners escaping!

I would have to say this is an excellent lot with familiar pieces. The dependencies are reasonable and their inclusion really makes the lot so its best to just not complain about that.

While I've always felt the jail was too large in SC4, and I'd not likely to use this one as it looks pretty huge, Never the less, I think it looks pretty cool and 6 dependencies are not that bad, I've seen some carp work that had like 25 dependency files in the past. Keep up the good work, looking forward to what you might do next.

Much better in this version. I have no trouble with the lot size - I have always thought that a prison should occupy a somewhat larger area than a junk food joint.

look out-the URL for the SimPeg security prop set has changed. I personally have it already, but at the moment I can't seem to find it on Peg's site.

After seeing your Bionic Fusion Power Plant, I must take a look at your past work, and I think I also missed this impressive effort too. A late 5/5 from me.

Pretty nice! Maybe you should have a lot more police officers surrounding the bashing-rocks area? Because what if the prisoners, instead of bashing rocks, start bashing each other or the policemen? :P
