BAT Parking Structure 1.0

I'm curious, why so low a capacity? The Maxis-Made one holds more than that, and this appears to be larger than theirs is...

I've been wanting larger parking structures for some time. It looks good. I'd like one even larger. The capacity could be a little higher.

good attempt at a bat, but bit small capacity compared to the original one, and looks a bit bland aswell. A couple of billboards/signs and a few more details would make it good.

hey finally a larger parking lot.. i hate the one in the game..i find its sooo tiny

Yer, it may be larger, but it holds almost 1/5th of what the old one holds. It is a very nice lot though, just needs its capacity raised then its a 10. Good work though. Like to see some parking lines on the roof aswell :)

Yeah it would be better bigger but it does look good

I think it's looks good, well the capacity of such a parking structure should be at least 500 to 600, but it is okay.

Wise up people! Lookat the pic! I see space for about 25, 30 if you cram them in, per floor. I count 4 floors=100-120 cars. For even 300 cars, that's 6-8 more floors (underground maybe?) Someone wanted 600? (20-24 floors) If we don't want to be a little realistic, try, say 1000 on a 1 square lot!

Good job. I like to see people make stuff already in the game as it adds variety and choice. I'd like to see maybe some parking lines on the roof and maybe those machines at the entrance that give you your ticket or take your money. Otherwise I give it a 9. :)

Nice work by the way! Ever thought of putting a traffic (toll) counter at the entrance for revenue?

Hi, It looks just like the one we have in our city. Looks great. BUT why does it cost to maintain? I have never seen a Parking struckger where you don,t have to pay and part of this income is taxable! It should make an income! Keep trying you are doing just fine

If used as a park-n-ride, yes, you do need more capacity. But if used next to cs buildings that rent space to different firms at the same time (dentist, speech therapist, title company, drafting firm, etc.), than this is perfect and just like real life. Perfect for suburban small office areas, too.

Forgot to mention that these types of garages don't charge fees. They are usually maintained from the rent the firms pay to lease space inside the building.

I'm pretty sure you can use the SC4 plug-in Manger/editor tool that came with sim city 4 or sim city 4 deluxe edition to "fix" the low capacity guys

 

"NEW" Use SC4 tools, which is found at http://kurier.simcityplaza.de/details.php?file=315

 

once installed, open it and chose "Visual editor for transit enabling your lots", click the open folder icon in the top left corner, search for "Parking Structure_ed7625ea.SC4Lot", once open, go to the transit switch ta, then click on the pencil icon next to the boxes that say "Entry Cost/Capacity", then type in your desired capacity and click "ok", (note-if you want to make revenue off  of the Parking garage, change the Entry cost to whatever you want, but be reasonable with your Sims ;) ) once you are finished, click the save button (picture of the floppy disc) and exit the tool, and then Start the game with you're newly fixed Parking Garage. I hope anyone who wishes to fix the capacity finds these instructions useful!

 

Happy Playing!
