HOTEL LUSSO (Spokane, WA)

hotel-lusso.jpg?w=300&h=199

The Miller Block and Whitten Block were married together in 1985, and is now one building (on the inside), known as the Hotel Lusso.

It should be made because the simtropolis community doesn't have enough midrise buildings.

Major Procuratorate Republic's Building (Brasília, Brazil)

IN PORTUGUESE: Prédio Procuradoria Geral da República

2329585885_8039dc5bfb_b.jpg

This building was built in 2002 and was projected by Oscar Niemeyer.

The building could be used as a medium-hise CO$$/CO$$$. Simtropolis do not have many Brasília buildings.

National Stadium, Singapore

devon-design-agency-blog-interior-graphi

 

 

Night View:

1349801580-wsg-aerial-south-west-night-c

 

The stadium first opened on June 30, 2014, and it was constructed by Sports Hub CEO Philippe Collin Delavaud.

This BAT will be beneficial, because there are not many modern stadiums for Simcity 4, other than the generic SC4 and a couple of performing arts stadiums. This stadium will fit well with high-tech cities and provide a boost of recreation for Simoleons.

There's a few modern stadiums for SC4 actually.

Would someone be able to make rice paddies(Agricultural I-$)?

Sure these will already exist somewhere amongst the Japanese content sites.

You just beat me to it, I stumbled across this whilst flicking through MAS71's dev thread just a few moments ago.

This will probably fall on deaf ears, but thre are several now defunct, or bought out retail companies I would love to see be made for SC4. I am including various pics I have found on the Internet for inspiration

Marina Bay Sands complex

MBS.thumb.jpg.f6614fa4245b400f561397a1c7

 

With the entire complex designed by moshe safdie architects, the marina bay sands complex is definitely a national icon of Singapore, as well as billed as the world's 2nd most expensive complex. 

A BAT on this will be beneficial. Firstly anyone who wants to model their city to look exactly like Singapore needs this icon. Secondly, the architecture of the buildings designed in the complex is futuristic. That skypark on the complex's three towers resembles closely like an aircraft carrier in the sky. Ever seen a gigantic lotus? Only can be found at the marina bay complex. Though aesthetically rich, an expert BATer might consider giving this a challenge. Try model the roofs of the mall with stunning accuracy. Or maybe BAT the 2 floating pavilions to provide commercial shops for citizens.

Sim city 4 is severly lacking in the suburban car dealership department. I submit the following examples that I think would be perfect for the game:

Anyone willing to build this cute nice city gate?

darvaze-tehran-02.jpg

Name: Darvazeh Tehran

Location:Qazvin, Iran

and like could it have the function of a road going under?

The gate would go well with any middle eastern, balakan, central asian, or Caucausian city

5668cb3ecc03a_48WardSt.thumb.png.65a00c7

This building is at 48 Ward St in Hamilton, New Zealand and sticks out of a Mall called Centre Place, the most generic name for a mall ever. It’s also the tallest building in the city as far as I can tell.

It’s 30 stories tall I think. I’ll be there later so I’ll be able to confirm or disprove that soon enough.

I'm also aware that's a bad picture but I’ll be able to get a better one later on but I’m not due to go anywhere for a few hours so you'll have to wait

In the mean time however you've got the Google Earth info in the corner of the screenshot so you can follow those and see if you can get a better look at the building.

Well, that's huge... maybe you can replicate it with a smaller car dealership lot and some modular parking lots around.

Gonna stir up the situation a bit.  I'm looking for someone who could provide me assistance with creating at least one of these two power plants:

 

 

AGUIRRE THERMOELECTRIC POWER STATION

Aguirre%20Power%20Plant%2001_1.jpg

URL]URL]Aguirre%20Power%20Plant%2002.jpg

 

Location: Salinas, Puerto Rico 

https://www.google.com/maps/@17.95148,-66.22786,17z/data=!3m1!1e3?dg=dbrw&newdg=1
176 x 176 m = 11 x 11 tiles
4 smokestacks - two for each of the large generators (4 total)
Uses cooling water discharge channel--no cooling towers nor units necessary
Real installed power: 900 megawatts
Proposed SimCity 4 power: 90,000 MWh / month

 

If it's helpful I actually have photographs of the actual power plant.  Went there as part of a field trip of my engineering studies.

 


CAMBALACHE THERMOELECTRIC POWER STATION

camblche-2.JPG

Cambalache%20Power%20Plant%2002.jpg

Location: Arecibo, Puerto Rico

https://www.google.com/maps/@18.47081,-66.69958,17z/data=!3m1!1e3
144 x 96 m = 9 x 6 tiles
3 smokestacks - one per each of the generators (3 total)
3 forced draft cooling units
Real installed power: 247.5 megawatts
Proposed SimCity 4 power: 25,000 MWh / month

 

 

Disclaimer: I want these power plants to be comparable to the large power plants mod for SimCity 4 (can't find the author ATM--Simtropolis' search function for the files has become worse with each successive site upgrade).  What I do know if this mod makes all the 4x4 in-game power plants into larger 8x8 or 6x6  buildings with more features and more power generating capabilities.  On this mod the oil power plant goes up to 65,000 MWh / month and the natural gas power plant goes up to 25,000 MWh / month.

It would be nice to have some of these stores/service stations become a ploppable in SimCity 4

That is all that I have for now.  Feel free to use these pics as references when creating these ploppables.

There are ploppable versions of each of these.

ALDI - Oppie: (Based off of a European style Aldi, and was made before Aldi starting in the US, but it's a ploppable Aldi) - https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/3752-aldi/

GIANT - Nos 17: (Based off of a retro 60s Giant) - https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/29978-b62-remastered-giant-food-60s-retro/

Rite-Aid - Sim Goober (You Will need the Following three Files (I think))

https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1184

https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1121

https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1122 (Ignore the fact it's not in the thumbnail)

Also there used to be a ploppable Sheetz, but it was accidentally removed during a site update and the author has not been able to recover it.

What I would really love to see for this 2016 is the Houses of Parliament. Such an iconic building yet no one ever made in more than 10 years of game.. If someone could get a shot at it, it would be awesome!

I want to request a medium sized dual-purpose football/basketball stadium such as those you see in the Dakota's and Idaho. Here are some examples

UNI-Dome Cedar Falls, Iowa

Thats what I have been doing, but we didn't have a chevy dealer until recently. There is only one Ford dealer that I know of (the heblem one). Now all we need is buick/gmc, honda, and toyota ones. :)

Neither the Autozone or the Rite Aide are in any of those simgoober packs, btw. I have seen pictures of the Autozone, so I know it at least exists.

Link to thread in SSC (in Polish, but this is a very good image and detail source): http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=257492&page=589

It's a good addition, especially for players who want to build an modern residential district near modern downtown. Also I heard about the International Month on STEX, so I think it's matching into it, especially for it's modern and elegant shape.

I would like to address this case to the Batters, who can do a spectacular nightlights in 3DS, the care about detail, and they want to recreate it for Darknite mod.

I will be very thankful to see that thing in my (and other cities) ingame.

If you want some more details, floorplans, etc., just contact me.

Thank you.

 

Not perfect quality but it already exists ;)

One thing I have noticed is an apparent lack of buildings from India on here and the LEX. India has some really neat buildings, and, being an Indian myself, I think it would be cool to see some more buildings in India being re-created for SC4.

Shreepati Arcade; A residential skyscraper in Mumbai:

th?id=OIP.M2d3d3dcca8efe0585f5ae0d096fd4

Victorian Memorial: A building that is dedicated to Queen Victoria and is now a museum. Located in Kolkata.

Victoria-Memorial.jpg

LIC Building; A regional headquarters of a life insurance company and it is located in Chennai

70351045.jpg

Hyatt Regency Chennai; A luxury hotel located, in well, Chennai.

hyatt-regency-chennai.jpg

In general, the possibilities are endless when it comes to re-creating buildings for SC4, but I really, really, would like to see some more Indian representation.
