About This File

The Chicago BAT Team is proud to release its debut to the STEX!

 

The Tribune Tower is one of the most iconic buildings in Chicago today. Built from 1923 to 1925, it's design was arrived at by a contest celebrating the Chicago Tribune's 75 years of operation. Over 258 architects sent designs in, but only one could win. This was awarded to Raymond Hood and John Mead Howells. Their design featured an art deco facade and a neogothic crown, adorned with gargoyles and 8 flying buttresses, creating an effect similar to a cathedral on top of a skyscraper. The building was then built near the Chicago River next to the Wrigley building. It was one of, if not the greatest Chicago building in the early 1900s. Today, it is equally impressive, and stands tall in the skyline. Thankfully, it is still owned by the Chicago Tribune, who have kept it looking beautiful after almost 100 years.

 

Now for the nitty-gritty

 

Included are several CO$$$, stage 8, growable lots for the chicago 1890 tileset.

 

2x4 (w2w friendly :))

3x4

and 4x4

The stats are:

Jobs: 1,575 CO§§§

 

Consumption:

Power: 89

Water: 971

 

Pollution:

Air: 7 over 6 tiles

Water: 6 over 7 tiles

Garbage: 4

 

There is also a landmark ploppable version

 

4x4, LM effect of 40 / 256 tiles, mayor rating +6 / 256 tiles

plop cost: 110,000

upkeep: 115/month

 

Besides that, it has identical stats to the growable version.

 

Dependencies are

Bsc Mega props SG 1 http://sc4devotion.c...php?lotGET=1180

BSC Mega props gc http://sc4devotion.c....php?lotGET=397

BSC Textures 01 http://sc4devotion.c...c.php?lotGET=90

BSC Textures 03 http://sc4devotion.c...php?lotGET=1806

 

You probably have a lot of these already though.

 

If you don't like/don't want the flags, they are added as props, so just delete the flag folder from the upload to get rid of them.

 

Modding and lotting: T Wrecks

Model by: Darn42

 

A special thanks goes out to the whole ST community for helping me get tribune tower done and of this quality. Very special thanks to Francis90b for setting the standard himself and not allowing me to leave anything unfixed :P

 

I hoe you all enjoy this.

 

P.S. Description may be edited in a bit depending on some stuff.

 

Currently there is only a Darknite version, sorry maxis nite peeps. I will upload maxis version once I get the time to render it.

 

P.S.S There's some unused props in this that I forgot to leave out, you guys can use them if you want, wasn't planning on uploading them but they are the fountain props you see in the files.

I've tried the model ingame now in all its beauty. This is truly outstanding work, what a beautiful model! Amazing job :D
As critique on high level, I noticed that the tower is pretty dark at night. I would love to see an update with more windows lit up at night.
