Here are some more. I really like the blue glow of a lot of these buildings. If anyone know of some other ones, please lmk! 9.gif

Also, is there a thread where I can request more buildings with a blue glow in night view? 3.gif

You have some really awe-inspiring downtown pictures, flymantang 4.gif!  One thing I might suggest, though, is minimizing the toolbar, then pressing [CTRL] + [sHIFT] + to bring up the camera.  You might also take out the pause-border by using [this mod].  You'd be surprised at how much you can add by simply doing that...

As for blue-glowing towers, I really like [Clark Tower] if you don't have it.  And to request buildings, visit [this thread]; to ask where certain buildings are, try [this thread].

the_sanderson: Very nice pictures!  It's always good to know that someone out there still incorporates the Maxis buildings in their cities, because they're nowhere near as bad as people make them out to be.  They look great in your city, too 2.gif!

Thanks for the tips and links masochist. I can take much better downtown pictures now 9.gif

Yup, I have Clark Tower already.

The_sanderson: Nice pics! You have some very interesting buildings that I would like to add to my main city. Can you tell me the buildings that I have circled in red below?

Cool cities everyone.

connorc24: I like it. Very dense but, unlike most skyscraper jungles, it's actually appealing.

I'm not into the game much anymore but I guess it wouldn't hurt to show some of my CBD's.

These are three major cities in my Regent Republic.  I recycle my favorite buildings in many of my larger cities.

This is Capricornum:

Helgerade:

And Statesville:

Statesville (named after Statesville, NC, a city I have driven through a few times on the very long trip from Florida to New York State), is on a diagonal grid.  I don't usually bother with diagonal buildings; I generally only plop skyscrapers.  I think it turned out alright.

^ Names. . . Here we go:

1. Mitsubishi Crystal Mall (Japanese BAT)

2. Shinjuku Mitsui Building (Japanese BAT)

3. Midland Square (Portuguese or Spanish BAT, I can't remember)

4. Brandywine Tower (Simtropolis)

I'm sorry if I can't help you with the first three buildings (if you're looking for them which you probably are). I got them when I went BAT hunting but I didn't keep track of the sites. I did keep track of some of them on a notepad but the document got erased when we formatted the PC (virus). You can, however, find the 4th one here. Just search the STEX.
