BAT Projects - SimGoober

[SimGoober 2,351]

I've never heard of such an error, so am at a loss.  Does it only happen on my lots?  Try installing Barbys latest releases, or Aldara and Reba both released lots in installers int he last week.  Just to see if affects them as well (plus they are nice to have.. ).  I'm guessing you are getting something corrupted in the download; I have heard that certain firewalls and such can cause that.

I just tried it with a PEG installer and the same thing happened. I should have tried other installers before posting the note. Obviously it is my machine. I don't know what it could be -- irritating because i have so many simgoober creations already and they are the primary reasons I come to stex and also donat money to keep the site running.

wonderfull work you have done

[kassarc16 4]

Wow! Incredible work on the tidal wave of water towers! And I was just thinking we needed more novelty ones!

[will62russ 76]

SimGoober.   Your history of work is simply amazing.  I'm more into the early 1900s classical architecture.  I have noticed the lack of hospitals, and to a lesser extent hotels, built in that style.  Any idea if you would have an appetite to venture into this area?  Irregardless, great work!

Will, not quite sure what you mean, got any specific pictures of stuff?  I'll look, but no promises.

 

  Lately, I've been playing the game more, and it seems every time I go into a city, I think of something that I need for it... so I start BATting it.  Got some new subway stations and train stations in testing now.  Still playing with the whole transportation concept, so am not sure how long before I will post them.  Once I get the general idea of where I want to go with them, I'll post more.  Already had to redo the lots on my Bus Stops to fit in, so don't want to have to go back and redo these as well.

You oughta make a new modern firestation that you might see in a typical us suburb.

Can you do a Trash Control center. I think the Water Control Center is so kewl.

Hi SG,

Really love the material you release.  I downloaded the Waste to Energy plant and have a question about it.  I built 2 of them in a brand new city and was importing garbage from a neighbor.  However, they don't appear to be generating much power...I've got less than a 1000 population and no power zots popping up in the only residential area I've got.  Some of the residences are getting power, so I know some power is being generated.  Every time I check the query the funding to both plants is 25 simoleons.  I change the slider to increase the funding, close the query, come back and the funding is back at 25.

 

It may be that I'm missing something in the importing garbage idea, but I thought I'd check with you to see if you have any ideas what's going on.

EDIT: Disregard the above - it worked itself out after about a year game time.

SG trainstations and subway stations, that is awesome

[jacqulina 162]

the waste to energy is another outstanding piece of work thanks

[the_SIMtastik_One 3]

I want to start off by saying that I really love your BATs Sim Goober. You have real tallent.

That being said, I'm hanving some trouble with the new water towers. I have all of them. Unfortunately, they are not entirely functional. Each one does produce water, but the water will not travel through pipes. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

[SimGoober 2,351]

Thats a common problem on custom water lots, over 1x1 in size. The pipes do not actually connect where they should.. draw pipes around the perimeter of the lot.  Then it will connect.

[SimGoober 2,351]

Here's a few pictures of some train stations I am developing. They are in final testing now, and should be ready in the next week or so.

Excellent as always.

[jglei701 8]

Wow SG,

All three are great, but the top one is amazing!  I've actually hoped someone would make a historical-type building with a clocktower (the old courthouse in my hometown has one, and it's big, old, and amazing!).

 

Great work, as always!

Here's a pic of it

 

And another:

It's a bit different style (I dunno... would this be considered baroque or classical?  I know it's on the National Register of Historic places.  It is the OLD courthouse, like I said (the grayish building in the second drawing behind was the jail, and it just wasn't big enough for the DuPage County seat (Wheaton), 40 miles west of Chicago, in the heart of suburbia.  They build a new complex, and I believe they're turning this complex into condos, to use the prime real estate and still keep the historical nature of the building.

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Gaaahh... gargl... barf... ugh. I was expecting some more or less normal stations, and what do you show? Architectural jewels, towering temples of train travel! Maaaan, I already hear the groans of my poor old plugins folder.

The first one is really a singular building (look at the ivy! Isn't it just the bomb!), but the two more modern ones (especially the last one) made me dream of something like modular train stations or a pack of props (big / small arched main hall, big / small side wing, platform with roof, open platform, pedestrian overpasses) that could be arranged to different configurations in a similar style...

Never mind me, these stations look great and realistic as they are, and they will make the game even more enjoyable.

[jacqulina 162]

wow awesome sg you allways amaze me with your work i love it

[pnorrell 4]

Congrats on the Trixies, SG!

You certainly swept the custom content categories, but who can argue? You earned every one of them and you deserve more thanks from this community than we could possibly offer.

[Hordijk 18]

Those three buildings are looking very neat! keep up the hard work

[your_adress_here 11]

Hehe, Simgoober, I just had to say that I think that your sig is awesome! You deserve those trixies!

[ACEfanatic 7]

@jgle701 - That style is Richardson Romanesque.  Our courthouse here in Harrisonburg is in the same style.

SimGoober, these train stations are spectacular.  They will make realistic US cities easier to make - most of the stations released are too European for me...

[Lord_Bertrum 3]

Another magnificant BAT.

[SYM Productions 7]

YES YES YES!  Woohoo my favorite is the Central Station... wonder why...

Anyways wow SG you're loaded down in gold... your title couldn't take the weight... he nice Red Ex award! 

 

Anyways do keep BATting and you'll clean up the BATting category next year...

A train station from SG! Why I never!

And of course, congrats on the Trixies... you have so many, the icon for it won't even show up! Seriously, this community would be at a huge loss without your talents and your dedication to us. The Trixies can only begin to express our gratitude.

[Scaley McSlither 1,714]

Congratulations on the very well deserved trixies! I hope that they are at least the smallest semblance of our appreciation for your incredible work. I, for one, can't thank you enough for all you've contributed to the game. You are the king!!

[mcarch 15]

Wonderful!  Most excellent!  One of these might replace the station I have in my City Journal.

[Simen 1]

Congratulations on a decent amount of trixies Simgoober!!

anyways, I hope you will release these stations soon! but anyways, when you do you will be darned sure they will appear in my CJ many places, just like all of your other buildings! damn you sure do do a great job!!

Keep it up, my good BATer!

regards,
Simen

[toxicpiano 125]

they look great SG! and congrats on the massive amount of trixies! bunnies for you!

[Puschkin 1]

Hi Simgoober!

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your deserved Trixie awards! I have got a lot of your BATs, and they really are top notch!

And now, if I am not mistaken, and this is the support thread, a little question about your BSC Waste to Energy Plant .

In readme it says that this plant will convert 50 000 trash/ month. 50 000 of what? Kilograms, Tons?

Because Maxis Waste to Energy plant converts about 450 tons pro month, and yours about 30, in my case. I don`t know why this happens, is this some kind of bug, I don`t know. 

Can you make a version which would convert 1000 tons of trash at maximum funding?
