NDEX's Parking Garage in SimCity Societies?

[Metropolis 11]

Here is NDEX's parking garage https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=15455

Doesn't this parking garage look like the one that NDEX made?

It isnt exaclty the same but they look a lot alike.

Or, maybe they both used the same RL counterpart to base their models on?

..Kidding right? It's a parking garage, basically a big concrete block with some room for cars. Hardly a unique architectural feat.

I agree.

[Kevin 101]

Yeah, parking garages generally look the same..

I wouldn't even go as far as to say its a coincidence... its just... a regular parking garage style.

It could also just be placeholder art

It's a parking garage...get over it. You even said similar...could be the same model? Who knows? Interesting though. those TMIll folk are nice, but a bit shady...

[Metropolis 11]

I'm not saying its a bad thing at all. I just found it interesting.

[hamsterTK 93]

they ripped us off.....riiight

youve seen 1 parking garage, youve seen em all...

[offgreen 1]

No, not really. Even if it did its too generic...

[Ded 30]

Gosh! They're at the same level as Osama Bin Laden and Kim Jong Il.

*rolls his eyes*

Like it has been said. Parking garages are all quite generic. What fascinates me is that there IS a parking garage - could this be the first indication of a mass transit system?

Actually, I kinda pulled the design out of the air, while keeping basic garage elements/architecture in mind; the garage is not particularly based off of any single one IRL.  The resemblance is more than uncanny; the elevator is doubly present, and those semi out of place column caps are clearly visible.

Besides, it isn't like it is a Pritzker winning design or anything of great significance.  Let's just chalk it off to coincidence, or something of the like.

Shoooooot if thats the case at least to say TM saw fit to use some awsome work by an awsome batter IMHO
