Blok 63 - R§ version

BAT model by Delija21

Modding & new lot by T Wrecks

 

INTRODUCTION

This is an additional lot for the fabulous BAT made by Delija21. You will need his BAT to use this lot, otherwise you will get a brown box.

Originally, Delija had sent Blok63 to me for some simple moddign tweaks. When I saw that monster, however, I was immediately tempted to make an R§ lot - this is the result. It's entirely imaginary and generic, I didn't go for an exact recreation. I hope you like it!

STATS & FEATURES

This version will give 5,897 poor Sims (R§) a home. It grows in the Euro tileset only, and it will require a dense residential lot of 4x12 tiles (4 wide / 12 deep) with one road running across its front and one road running along its left side (see sketch below). All relevant stats have been carefully modded to blend seamlessly into the game.

NOTE: I merged the .sc4desc file with the lot file, so don't be afraid something might be missing.

Some features:

  • Mostly prop families, totally randomized flora, cars will appear randomly and disappear during the working hours
  • Extensive use of Cycledogg's shaded props that will be dark when the shadow of the building falls on them
  • Lamps with light cones that actually shed some light on the lot
  • Three fenced areas with randomly appearing dumpsters, realistically located (easy access for garbage pickup)
  • Benches and trashcans, people on the lot, parked bicycles near the entrances
  • Unorthodox lot size for better control and easier growth (12x4 may split up too easily)

DEPENDENCIES

I tried to do a better job than Maxis did with their lots, but without using too many dependencies. You will need:

I hope that most of you custom content lovers will already have these - if not, at least I hope that you will think it's worth the little inconvenience. ;)

ZONING SKETCH

THANKS AND CREDITS

Please give Delija21, Cycledogg, and the teams BSC and SFBT a big hand for creating such great stuff for me to push around in the LE. ;)

I'd also like to thank my fellow SFBT members Andreas Roth, ArkenbergeJoe, Schleicher68 and toja for feedback & support.

ENJOY!

I won't comment on the model, so all the things you added beyond Delija21's model are super cool. Well worth the effort.
