The Unofficial Essential Building Thread

[ididntdidit 0]

Ill start the first post with the Oceanic Tower. It's essential because of its style and contemporary look needed in a modern city. Check it out! https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=15731

I believe we need some more buildings from the Philadelphia area. I have checked the STEX and I only found a few. Some I didn't find that are essential are the Comcast Tower, 2 Liberty Place, Mellon Bank Center, and maybe the Cira Centre. These are really nice modern looking buildings that would add a lot to Sim City.

The major un-included monuments are essential I think. Not for every city, just to make the game have a feeling of "completeness". A few examples are...

There aren't any buildings on simtropolis that fit my city preferences. I'm from North Carolina, so for some reason no one has added any of our stuff... for example the Greensboro Colliseum: ACC tournaments have been held here on numerous occasions and is the largest indoor colliseum I believe on the east coast. Would look great to put next to a university or business district!

Bank of America Tower in Charlotte: It's our tallest building and has that modern/futuristic look everyone on here really loves.

But for buildings on here.. I have enjoyed the Library Tower and Wells Fargo tower from L.A.! They look great in almost any cityscape

jlvannat, the Bank of America Corporate Center actually is on the STEX, just under a different name

Here it is
