About This File

UPDATED : As per below

 

This is modeled after the Columbus One Tower in Virginia Beach, VA. It is the beginning of a new Towne Center area (otherwise called downtown...shhhh....). The tower is pretty accurate to real life, though I created the buildings around the base more loosely. The base around real tower is similar, but it is more "cluttered" by the buildings to me, so I cleaned it up.

This lot has been completely updated, with new lots. There is a 6x6 Landmark only, and a 6x6 functional Cs$$ lot, with transit enabling. Cars will enter and exit the garage on both sides.

There is one quirk in this lot ; The BAT errored the outermost zoom, so it won't show up from 3 angles. THis does not affect anything else.

Dependencies : (Ignore readme file)

BSC MEGA Props MJB Vol01 v2

 

BSC Textures Vol 01

These prop files are not supposed to be re-distributed with other lots, which is why I don't do that.

I received help from many people in the forums, and have learned a lot from a lot of them over time. I used the tutorial from QBert2 to learn transit enabling. Only took two tries to get it right! The first crashed the game..... learning is a painful process sometimes.

Please feel free to use the model file to build your own lot if you like, for your own use. Do not redistribute these files without my permission.

History : v1.01  Added functional lot as well.

Staff Edit: Fixed dependency links.

This is great, because there's a real shortage of BAT office buildings which are smaller and more utilitarian in design

Have you seen the new Weston that will be built at Va Beach Town Center. That would be a great building to have in SimCity.

I like this one, but i found that after installing, i think i may need an extra dependency, because it displays fine in the game until you zoom out to the highest overview of the city in which it then becomes a brown package.

By the way this is not Columbus One Town Center.. Its the armada hofffler Tower.. should get your facts straight before adding to site.. Va Beach Town Center is a 17 block complex of residences, retail, restraunts, hotels/condos and a performing arts center with a entertainment plaza..
