im trying to limit the number of my duplicate buildings, is there any way to stop a certain bat from growing? say i grow too many building Xs, can i delete a file or something to stop it from growing without giving me a brown box?

another question (sorry if off topic) if i enable the water and power conservation ordinance, do i get negative effects? (like business slowing down cause they have to use less power?) my power plants are killing me 15.gif

Nice to see you again, waway625. Your CBD's back there were excellent (ang galing mo!). About the Power and/or Water Conservation Ordinances, don't enact them. The effects on your city will be very small. It's not worth the cost (that's my opinion anyway). As for the BATs that won't stop growing, it also happens to me and I'd also appreciate it if someone would answer waway625's question about it. And...

im thinking of making a CJ for this one where ill explain the concept of this city 4.gifquote>

I would really like to see a CJ from you, waway. Good luck with it, kaibigan.

My turn... Here are some pics from my latest creation: Commerce Creek.

BTW what are criteria used to give out points to those pictures?? Is is like Eurovision when friend s and neigbours give each other highest scores and ignore countries that are unfriendly or just too remote? or is here any actual and reliable system used?

portmortimeriisj8.jpg

the skyscraper-district of my town called port mortimer.

it's a mixture between london and rotterdam.

the skyscrapers are not too big to keep the town looking realistic.

most of them are plopped. 4.gif

Downtown Memphis

There are exactly 7 plopped skyscraper w/ jobs, the rest are grown. This is really my first city with plopped buildings that haven't gone abandoned in the first few months. Its also my first city that Ive actually tried to play instead of making it purely eye candy.

Don't any of you get a little disgusted with skyscrapers though? Seas of duplicated buildings, each clashing with eachother...

People will allow the Empire State Building, John Han***** Center, Pedriana Pharmeceuticals and Hurt Enterprises to form all within the same block.

I find it ugly.

Oh, wow. Did it actually edit the name of a building for obscenity?

thats why in my CBD, i have enforce a 2 identical building rule..meaning i only allow 2 identical buildings to grow at the CBD (except for residential buildings) and they cannot grow within the same street/block

It is one of my older BATs, «The Nexis Electronics Inc» the first Hi-rise I did a long time ago, never uploaded it though, only used it in my CJ *NoG*

Here are two more shots of it:

No Urbandogg, it is not on the STEX or anywhere else, but it should be in the future sometime when I find some time to do more BATting and finish all my halfdone models and a partner to help me with tweaking the lots.
