  • growable RS$$

Notes from Bixel

I've had this one for a long time - so long it was before I started doing TruNight for my models. Anyway I was hopeing and hopeing somebody in the transit modding community would create a special avenue for the odd degree diagonal this building has. I even created all the textures for the modders but nobody will do it! Well I finally got tired of waiting and this is the result. As you can see from the pic I used Jeronjis park set to spruce up the area, please refer to the many images I provide for proper zoning and schemes.

Installation

First of all, it is recommended to unzip the entire content of this ZIP into some archive folder where you keep all building versions, readme, and screenshots, and maybe even back it up onto a CD or an external HD together with your other SC4 stuff. This way, if you need to clean your HD and reinstall your OS, you can simply copy the stuff from your backup archive into your plugins folder instead of having to download all plugins anew.

That said, in order to use this building in game, I suggest you first go to your plugins folder and make a sub-folder for this download.
Then, simply copy the .sc4model file(s) (the actual building model) plus the lot file(s) of whatever version(s) you'd like to use into the newly created folder.

To uninstall a version you don't like after it has grown in your cities, first bulldoze all instances of that version in your cities, then save the cities and exit. Now you can safely remove the version without running any risk to experience crashes or any other inconvenience.

I'm just grateful that you continue doing these megalots. This will be the first R$$ 6x10 lot size (Harbour Green 6x10 was R$$$), so we should able to get it grow easily!

I think it should be possible to use FARR pieces with this BAT in order to follow the unusal angle. As good as the previous one, so ....perfect ! Keep going.

That is a massive structure! We were talking about it in the Chat a few days ago :) Even though I hate this type of construction I can't ignore the technique and skill of the BAT (I may even find a place for it in my Region ;) )

@theognehogo with skyscrapers like this where you need to zone a 'solid' zone (usally 5 x 5 tiles) Hold Ctrl while you drag your zones to get as large a zone you want without streets killin it. Exellent tower bixel youve made some amazing skyscrapers I must say it made me google the Hong Kong Skyline wow thats a massive city like a forrest of skyscrapers :) 5 stars out of 5 stars.

I finally got this grow a few days ago. I thought it was the lone 6x10 R$$ lot out there, but then I keep getting Thai Bat team's Silom Place, which only has a slightly lower occupancy and much easier to dominate since I think it is likely to be stage 5 or 6.

Got it to grow in my game, but it takes up WAY more than the 6X10 lot I zoned for. Can you give us the actual dimensions so we can leave a clear space around it instead of wasting our time zoning nearby lots that will get covered?

This is a great lot! I wish I had half the talent at BATing, although I do wish that there was a ploppable version of this building solely due to the size!
