Sun Hung Kai Centre v.3
BAT created by bixel
Modding, lot design, readme & custom menu icons by T Wrecks
Check out the Hong Kong /Asia BAT Team thread at Simtropolis
Introduction / Overview
Sun Hung Kai Centre was completed in 1981 and tops out at a height of 215 m. It is the corporate headquarters of Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd.
This BAT is an accurate recreation of the real-life building.
Since there are so many high-wealth buildings in SC4 already, it has been modded both as high-wealth and as medium-wealth version. In total, you can choose any of the following options:
Ploppable landmark
Ploppable functional CO$$$
Growable CO$$$
Ploppable functional CO$$
Growable CO$$
All high-wealth lots and the landmark version share the same basic design, whereas the medium-wealth version uses a different base texture. As always. flora and people on the lot are randomized and will change every time the building grows or is plopped.
Note: Ploppable and landmark versions feature individual custom menu icons that will allow you to see immediately which version is which. Moreover, both versions are to be found conveniently grouped together near the bottom of your landmark menu. The medium-wealth version should appear above the other two versions (if all three ploppables are used) because it is a tad cheaper to plop.
Dependencies
For the landmark and the high-wealth versions, make sure you have Maxis' Kunjungjon landmark installed. Otherwise, there are no dependencies; you don't need anything from the STEX.

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 the Sun Hung Kai Centre.
Then, simply copy the .sc4model file (the actual building model) plus the sub-folder(s) of whatever version(s) you'd like to use into the newly created Sun Hung Kai Centre folder.
To uninstall a version you don't like, 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 get crashes or facing any other inconvenience.
