About This File
CBS Columbia Square Television Station, by Mattb325.
---------------------------------------
In 1938, Columbia Square was built for Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) on the site of the Nestor Film Company, Hollywood's first movie studio, at 6121 Sunset Boulevard.
This building is an example of International Modernism/Streamline Moderne and it took a year to build at a cost of $2 Million back in 1938, making it the most expensive broadcasting facility ever built.
While I have taken some liberties with the building by adding some details and removing others to make it more adaptable to the game, it remains quite a faithful and recognisable reproduction.
This building is modded as a Television Station.
You will find it in the rewards menu. It DOES NOT over-write the in-game TV station (or any subsequent re-lots) and can be used in conjunction with the Maxis TV station if you wish.
It is a non-conditional reward which is designed to really bust through Medium Wealth Commercial Office and Residential Caps: pacing this TV station should ensure that you actually see more of the CO§§ buildings grow (especially custom-content CO§§ skyscrapers, which the game often ignores). I also like using these large lots in a downtown setting as they can really break up the clutter of a skyscraper jungle.
This building counts towards tourism and has a positive landmark and park effect. Placing this reward will also provide many civic jobs.
* It is offered as a reward without needing pre-existing conditions.
* It is located in the REWARD Menu.
* It can be placed more than once in a city.
Placing rewards is an essential part of growing a large city and region, given their cap-busting and desirability increasing effects.

NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE:
This download contains TWO model files; one for dark nite users (and other night-time darkening mods, such as Gizmos night-mod) and one for the standard Maxis nite.
You must keep only one file - depending on which version you use. If you are unsure whether you have a night-darkening mod installed, then choose the Maxis night version. Regardless of which file you choose to keep, make sure you DO NOT delete the Lot File!
If you use the dark nite version, you will need a dark nite mod. Either: (https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/23089-simfox-day-and-nite-modd/) OR (http://gizmo.aplaceforwebsite.com/index.php)
