About This File


After many years as a user on this site I deliver my first model to the STEX.

2 North LaSalle is an office building located at the corner of LaSalle and Madison streets in downtown Chicago, Illinois. It was designed by the architecture firm Perkins & Will. It stands on the site formerly occupied by the historic LaSalle Hotel, which closed in 1976. 2 North LaSalle was completed in 1979 and with its 26 stories stands 316 feet / 96 meters tall.

Contents:
A 4x3 growable CO§§ lot (Stage 8) for the Houston 1990 tile set
A 4x3 ploppable CO§§ lot( §21,892 to plop)
A 4x3 ploppable CO§§§ lot (§21,892 to plop)
each providing 2,833 jobs.

Dependencies:
BSC-VIP Girafe Urbanpack vol. 1
SHK Parking Pack
For the Darknite version: SimFox Day ’n’ Nite mod

This model was created entirely using the open-source modelling software Blender and the BAT4Blender add-on developed by Memo. You can follow developments in this thread.

You can watch for updates on my 50+ works in progress in my BAT thread

Wonderful work and love the nightlighting. I pass by this unassuming skyscraper fairly regularly when I'm in The Loop.

Fargo, I'm eagerly looking forward to your ambitious planned buildings.  In the meantime I tried installing all of your released buildings to date (Darknite only).  The growable version of this building seems to have some issues.  If you look at it in PIM-X or Reader, you'll see that many of the growable version's exemplar properties are instead that of a plop building, such as Item Icon, Item Order, and Item Description.  

I was able to plop this with the Advanced Lot Plop dialog, but I'm not sure if the growable version will actually grow or not.  It doesn't show up in the RCI list in PIM-X, suggesting it won't grow.  I suggest re-doing the lot and building to make a proper growable version.

This is an easy fix and I'm hopeful that the rest of your buildings look just as nice as this one.  Thanks!

Hi Kel, thanks for your compliments on my BATs and informing me the lot isn't working as intended. I'll issue an update.

I used to work in this building in the late 90's! It looks exactly like it and I recognized it immediately! Thanks!
