About This File

Modern Hospital, by Mattb325.
---------------------------------------

This is a purely fictional larger style hospital.

This building houses an emergency department, surgery, pathology, outpatient and other clinical facilities typically associated with purpose built hospitals.

Curiously, in SC4 hospitals take up a very small footprint, so in reality, this would be a small to medium sized hospital, but to accurately replicate real-life arrangements would take well over 30 tiles width and depth!

There is a real lack of large-scale medical facilities in SC4. Hopefully this goes some way to addressing that gap. The patient- (up to 32,000) and jobs provided- (up to 6,100) capacities are also very large to reflect the real estate that this building takes up.


There is a helipad built into the hospital. The helicopter on that helipad is not functional. The lots however do count towards the medical helicopter mission in the UDI. I have deliberately avoided using the in-game helicopter tag automata as this casts a strange and terrible shadow across everything and UDI is not something I typically use at all. 

This means that if you use the UDI function, you will notice that the helicopter may hover above the hospital trying to land for an extended period of time after the mission is completed. If this is likely to bug you, simply remove the occupant group 0x0000151A in the reader or add the helicopter tag in the Lot Editor (ensure that all instances of the hospital are bulldozed prior to making these changes). 

However, if like me, you don't use the medical helicopter UDI mission, you will never, ever see any of this at all and the previous paragraph can safely be ignored *:P.


The lot comes in two flavours: a 10x10 lot with parking spaces suitable for a more "suburban" set-up and a 7x6 lot without parking that is suitable for a more dense urban area (if you use the 7x6 lot, simply place one of the ingame or many custom garages to simulate parking). 

You can use both lots simultaneously and do not need to choose one over the other.

Both lots have identical stats. Each lot has a different query and menu icon to enable ease of selection and are found adjacent to each other in the health menu.

NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE:

There are two model files in this download. You must select the appropriate file from the download. The file suffixed with 'DN' is for those users with a night-time darkening mod installed. The file suffixed with 'MN' is for users who do not have any such mods installed.

If you are unsure whether you have a night-darkening mod installed, then choose the Maxis night version. 

If you use the dark nite version, you will need a dark nite mod. (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/23089-simfox-day-and-nite-modd/

DEPENDENCIES:

Yes, there are more dependencies than I usually employ for this lot, but they are the most commonly used ones and by now, every player should have them in their plugins anyway.

HELP! So I love this new hospital, as I was able to meet ( and exceed) my city's needs with 1 building as opposed to the several I had previous. However, I'm new to this and I've gotta be doing something wrong. As you can see, my picture doesn't look like any of the other ones. I downloaded the dependency files and placed them in the plugin folder but I'm assuming its not reading the file.Disclaimer:  I have a MacBook Pro operating on the latest Catalina software. Are there additional steps I have to take since this isn't a windows computer?  Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi @Mark1525, it looks like the dependencies aren't working in your plugins.

As you're on a Mac and I am not, I am just posting known fixes to common Mac problems (without being able to test or verify them)....

The dependencies are all in installers. For a Mac, this needs 'file-juicer' to extract them first so that the game can read them in your plugins folder, as the game can't read a zipped file nor a zipped installer package.

If you have successfully extracted the files into your plugins, there is also a bug with Macs that limits the number of plugins you can actually have. That may also be the case here, but I would start by looking at the file juicer option.

I'm having an issue with quite a few buildings of yours, including this one, where I'll rename the building and it renames all buildings of the same type. This would be fine if I didn't want to use the same building more than once.

Is there a fix for this?

This is standard game behaviour for custom content. I have answered in more detail in the topic you created, here:

Does this mean I just need one hospital and no small medical clinics or fewer in total in my cities?

@deanva - it depends entirely on what sort of city you have. The patient capacity is 32000 and the coverage radius is 153 tiles; whether or not you need to supplement that is determined by population density, wealth mix, health, employment, etc.

Good afternoon!

Same problem lot 7x6 is displayed incorrectly (win10 big lot is displayed normally).

Assuming you have all of the dependencies listed, after placing the lot you need to allow the game to run to the next change of season to display the seasonal trees. EG: if you plop the lot in winter, then the trees will appear when the game ticks over to spring.

Предполагая, что у вас есть все перечисленные зависимости, после размещения лота вам нужно разрешить игре перейти к следующей смене сезона, чтобы отобразить сезонные деревья. НАПРИМЕР: если вы плюхнетесь на участок зимой, то деревья появятся, когда игра перейдет на весну.

спасибо Вам большое! у Вас очень крутые лоты

Thank you so much for making this! Its been kinda immersion breaking how many large clinics medical centres I've been having to place in my larger cities. Glad this could help!
