Residential BATs

[JDRCRASH 53]

I've noticed that most BATers have uploaded only commercial buildings to the STEX.

Is it possible to plop a residential building in the game

(Heh,without that annoying LONG commute)

[paulvmontfort 616]

You can, but the building would abandon pretty quickly. Somehow the residents can't get out of the building and are trapped inside so they can't get to work. BTW, if you searched the forums, you probably would have found the answer already.

"Somehow the residents can't get out of the building and are trapped inside so they can't get to work."

...or go out to the movies..

You can plop residential buildings and have them NOT abandon by first zoning residential. Let some development GROW, and then plop the residential BAT over the developed zone. This way it will not abandon.

So yes, you can plop, but it takes some planning to get it to work.

the building still have no comuters....that just uses the old stats of the building ploped over, as soon as the worplace they were going to changes...the pathways go away and the building have no comuters and then it abandones and dies

telling ya...RES plops don't work...unless your doing a recreation and need them for visiual effects....don't use them...they will cause problems

they do work, just like LordoftheWise said. i usualy plop them, in an already existing residential area, that usualy works for me. there still won't be any commuters, but the buildings won't abandon.

Yup, that's true! I have 'The Sorrento' plopped and it still has over 7000 inhabitants 100years after I plopped it, so they work fantasticly if you plop them in an existing Residential Area

indisguise noted a good point. that it DOES go away when the Job place changes.

BUT! If you are plopping residential you probably plop commercial too.... so just make sure that they are commuting to a plopped commercial (or industrial) building.

or you could just make the commuted-to building historical... though i ahve noticed that historical marks are occassionally overridden in my city of West Derry. pesky high wealth development is replacing my hamster tenements.

One question:

How can I make resindental buildings ploppable???

[Krio 624]

Check Goober's article "how to make functional landmark" from Omnibus. Just replace commerical-thingys with residental.

Yeah ok thanks
