The download may be a bit confusing to less experienced members but that's largely beside the point of how awesome and well-done this model is. Great work!

Damn that's good.  Fantastic modelling skills, and the LOTting ain't too bad either!  5/5

Great Work man!!!!!!! 5/5 :O

 

I wish you can do something better with uploading the files, it's to much downloading this and that, why everything is so separated? :(

 

This will not change my rate on the building, so it's still 5/5 :)

AWESOME work Reddon :)

I'm agree with Aaron, for new members of the community, it's maybe complicated ;) . You just needed to create separated folders with Diagonals or darknite, maxinite versions ;)

 

But it's 5/5 :D

I appreciate the new naming scheme, even if the current folder method is a bit confusing and (IMO) a bit tedious. The work, however, more than makes up for any installation headaches (which aren't actually that many).

 

So, wow. 8th BAT. It gets better every day. 5/5 (higher if I could)

Hi everyone, thanks for these nice comments. I'll raise this in my BAT thread as well, but I'd be keen to know if there is a better way to do the uploads. It seemed pretty straight forward to me, you pick the model you want, then the corresponding Lot you want... but if it's confusing I'd like to fix it :)

I actually like the way the files are organised. You see what's there from the get-go, you don't need to sort out what's the diagonal and what's the straight lot after downloading, you don't need to download anything you don't want first, only to delete it afterwards... It's a refreshing break from all those installers that will open a lot of windows, require many clicks, do stuff behind your back, and force you to search and collect all the stuff they placed somewhere should you dare to prefer a different folder structure or pick only some of the contained options.

 

That being said about the packaging, the model is another great job, not to mention the wonderful textures and the splendid night lights! As much as I think that the real-world building looks like someone rammed a totally mismatched slab of glass and steel into that bulging monstrosity of a base, the BAT recreation is a 5-star effort once again without the slightest doubt, and as I said in the thread: Every city needs its eyesores to get the look-and-feel of an authentic city. ;)

 

Thank you for your ongoing top-quality contributions to the STEX, RDQ! It's much appreciated. :)

Great work. It would be nice to have a non-functional landmark version also. They are useful in some cases.
