About This File

The Cobb Europa:

 

A medium wealth residential apartment building

housing 560 sims.

 

The Cobb Europa takes a few of its design elements

from parts of the Mediterranean, particularly the

French and Italian Riviera. But it was mostly

designed with the intention to provide relaxation and

pleasant surroundings for its residents. The

Europa's rooftop is a multilevel, tranquil garden.

The ground level has cafes and vendors to provide

sims with plenty of opportunity for food and

conversation.

 

There is a plopable landmark version included.

 

Thanks go to KD5RAX for modeling the trees, n74704 and KD

for providing textures, and GOLDIVA for the lighting

texture. N74704 was the major design consultant.

Fosterk12345678910 modeled several of the small props.

I also received other numerous helpful suggestions during its

creation from contributors in the BAT open discussion forum.

 

I hope that you enjoy the Cobb Europa! I am considering

constructing other different buildings in a similar style to

complement the Europa in sim neighborhoods. If there is

enough interest, I'll make a several variations.

 

Installation instructions.

 

1) Unzip all the included files (.SC4Desc, .SC4LOT, and .SC4Model) to

your SimCity plugin folder under the "My Documents" path.

2) In SimCity4 RushHour, zone an area of 4x3 high-density residential

3) Just play!

 

Notes:

 

* I DON'T PROVIDE AN RCI PLOPABLE, BECAUSE THE GAME WILL NOT ALLOW THE RESIDENTS TO COMMUTE, AND THE BUILDING ABANDONS. That is why I provide a landmark for those who would like to plop it.

* You must have sufficient R$$ wealth demand to grow the

Cobb Europa building, as with any growable building.

* Make sure that you have installed the BAT update from SimCity.ea.com

in order for the lights to show up.

* It may take a few day/night cycles for the building to light up.

This is a very attractive building, albeit a little cartoony in a Caesar/Zeus/Pharoah sort of way, but I still like it. Nice job.

Visually wonderful as all your buildings are. 500 residents in a building this size?--that's about double or triple what would be reasonable.

Very good and detailed. This looks very realistic, and I can tell you put a lot of effort into it.

I can't believe I am giving two 10's in the same day. However, this deserves a 10. The bar has been raised. Now what do you do to do better than this. (Well I have already seen the second one), how about the third?
