Hey that factory looks like the one down the road from me!

[ert90 8]

Yes, we need great looking Industrial lots! Thanks a lot SG.

As for TEOM's comment further above on the page, I'll just pretend I didn't see it for the sake of the community.

I have to compliment you on this Industrial Jeff you did some really fine work here on this   I enjoyed the night lighting as it was more realistic than most of the ingame industrials. Thanks again for your creations and I look forward to see more.

the industrial looks great, my RS and CO are pretty much 98% batted but industry is sorely lacking

a definate download for me

[Tunafish 48]

Those look great, we need more industry

hey goober, have you had any thought of bringing your Hilton hotel project back to life?

i've been away for so long :s but i love your Holiday Inn Express, its gorgeous

[udriveitmissionsrock 2]

My industry needs some serious help.  What type of industry will it be?  I have dial-up induced laziness, so, if I missed it, I will check later.  I will have to check out the STEX.  Any idea when it might be out, cause I am leaving for summer this week; and my grandparents don't have a computer.

Also, SG, I don't know if this is an honor to you; but I thought that after what I said about the PlayBoy Mansion that you made, I thought that I would put my 100th post here.

Thanks for starting to bat again. I think that the industrial shall look quite good. is there any way to make these BTE? Keep up the great work.

[Lord_Bertrum 3]

Great industrial BAT, I've said it before and I'll say it again SC4 lacks industrial BATs

 

This thread is 61 pages long, is that teh longets thread on this site now?

[SimGoober 2,351]

That one is an auto factory; it's growable on an 6x3 or 3x6 lot.  It is BTE, so will trigger future rewards, which are under consideration.  I have a few more generic warehouses as well, but they are not growing well yet, so I keep tweaking the numbers a bit on them....

And I will be doing some more hotels down the road.  One thing I have been noticing recently is a lack of high occupancy Cs$$ and Cs$$ buildings, to meet that demand.  Hotels seemt o fit that niche to me, and I want to make a couple more.  Won't be right away, but down the road.

 

Also, I'm headed on vacation for about a week, so won't be doing much Sim related during that time.

 

I may try to package that factory up and upload before I leave, if I have time.

+++EDIT: this is NOT a request- I have seen MANY suggestions posted in this thread, and since it obviously is not taboo, I'll post a few suggestions of my own+++

Ok, one suggestion on the so called high capacity CS$$ and CS$$$: you may want to try one of those newer high density inner city retail developments that are so popular these days. More urban examples of this include Pacific Place in Seattle, and Pioneer Place in Portland. Also, maybe a high end mini-mall (sort of like the ones already in the game, on the Chicago and Houston tilesets) may be another concept you would like to consider.

As for hotels, I have noticed the lack of modern, high end hotels, such as a new Ritz, Hotel Intercontinental, Hotel W, St Regis, etc. Perhaps you could take an idea or so from those, too (like the new Ritz or hotel W in Dallas). Or if you really want to get..out there, there is something rather radical in Dallas called the ZaZa (sounds like something Masher would say!)

Anyway, enjoy your vacation, and hopefully, we'll see more high end stuff coming from you.

Hmm..shouldn't this rather be posted in the Official BAT request thread??

Edited to prevent spam:No, SG gets alot of ideas from people, like you, in fact. Silence, Knave! Besides, I got the irony.(reply to post below). Anyway, let's move on. *attempts to prevent hijacking of thread*

[sepsis 17]

Oops, sorry..

Completely forgot that irony is wasted on americans..

EDIT: This is a joke too

 

[crazyarchitect 7]

I'm at work for two days, and the thread goes crazy, I would of love to put my two cents in, but since the time has passed, I'll say, great factory, and some more motel/hotels would be awesome, and have a great vacation SG

[SimGoober 2,351]

DT, interesting ideas.  I found a few pics of the ZaZa and the Ritz.  Two completely different buildings, but both have merit.  I want to make a couple that will fit on 4x4 lots, as anything bigger than that tends to be very stubborn to grow..   I have a 6x4, and 5x3 lot for a current project, that no matter what I do, is very difficult to grow...

[Lord_Bertrum 3]

For a high end hotel, have you though about doing a weekend spa retreat?

[BananaRepublic 0]

hey, any plans on finishing the Hilton hotel project?

I think Goober is going fishing for a week.

One word ok two words The Sopranos! These building would rock Tony's house. PizzaLand, Satriale's pork store (Don't eat the meat), and Bada Bing men club.

[kassarc16 4]

SG, seems your development company is greasing some pretty important palms in Big Horn City. They allowed a Deja Vu right next to a Toys-R-Us... where're the protesters?! Though Kelly and a Pub were able to move right in, since there's nothing wrong with alchohol and speeding death machines.

Speaking of, maybe you could update the adult lot's to spawn striker automata? It'd be a nice little touch and maybe some morality in the game for a select few out there. My cities have come alive with your lots since I put back the growables!

As to whats next, who knows. I have some factories I have been playing with, and am still tweaking. Here's the shot I made for the STEX, when one of them is ready for upload. I should have saved the origonal, as it is large (6 tiles long), and I had to shrink it a lot to fit on this one, so it's not the greatest quality... There is a lot of detail showing thru the glass that is lost inthe pic.

Now that is a good looking shop. Those of us located in manufactoring areas of the country (Flint, MI) really appreciate this type of work.

[cskomsky 0]

not to keep harping on this, but a bass pro shop would make a pretty good C$$$

[SimGoober 2,351]

Well, I got back from vacation, had a load of fun.  Had my laptop with me, so started a new hotel while I had a few minutes to blow here and there.  It's not based on any RW one, just a compilation of others I have seen.  It is being designed to fit on a 4x4 lot, and needless to say it is still very raw.  The pool deck is just a place holder; I'm going to start that over.https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//Hotel%2001.jpg align=baseline>

[Woko 2]

Woow, it will be a nice hotel.  Do you will change the pink colour?

[SimGoober 2,351]

Here's an update. Got some more details on the patios; rebuilt the pool deck, and toned down the pink color a little.  There is an elevator shaft up the rear side (narrower side), and the back side still needs details for the lower floors.  I'll probably add a sat. dish up top, and a couple minor pipes.
