About This File

13 years ago, I uploaded Generic Office Pack #1, which was initially supposed to contain five buildings. I only wound up including two of them, although @gutterclub did kindly finish off a third recently. I never really expected there to be a part two, but here we are. 

This pack contains 15 models; an orthogonal, diagonal, and FAR version of 5 different buildings. All versions have different IIDs, so they can be used at the same time. The orthogonal versions are available in both growable and ploppable varieties, all sit on either 5x6 or 6x6 lots, and provide between 174 and 466 CO$$ jobs. The diagonal and FAR versions are available in overhanging ploppable 1x1 lots, which provide the same number of jobs. I have also included prop exemplars for all models for your convenience.

Both Darknite and Maxisnite versions are provided for all models. Only one may be used at a time. The Darknite version requires SimFox's Day and Nite Modd.

 

Dependencies (for the orthogonal lots only):

SuperSHK MEGA Parking Textures

SHK Parking Pack

BSC Common Dependencies Pack (specifically CP Vol01 and CP Vol02)

The diagonal and FAR versions have no dependencies.

 

I initially learned how to BAT so I could make generic buildings like this. I like this particular group because they all fall just short of being boring. 

Enjoy!

Contrary to the image SimCity projects, most real-life white-collar workers do not work in gleaming, towering chambers of commerce that quickly give way to green fields. They work in sprawling suburban office buildings doing their jobs, surrounding by moats of parking, or if they're lucky, a few walking trails and greenspaces. The buildings themselves can be mildly characterful, but are rarely architectural daring, being well suited to the buttoned-up, sedate lives of their professional occupants. 

IDS2 has captured that well here. The buildings are characterful but they are not centers of attention. They are symbolic of the sprawling office parks and line the suburban arteries of many cities, filling a need if attracting little attention themselves. And IDS2 has thoughtfully modeled, textured and lotted a nice contrast of structures to make the suburban milieu visually interesting if not inspiring. For those looking to create realistic suburban areas, these fill a significant, critical need. IDS2's work is well done and much welcomed. 5/5.

I like that you added parking lots AND night lighting!    Just a suggestion....for businesses, it would be great if there was large signage indicating what the business is.   Thanks for your consideration.  :)    Great work though.  Thank you!
