Has anyone tried to relot The Singer Building that was in STEX using Lot Editor?  I loved the building but thought the lot could be improved.  I've tried to do it but I have to stop banging my head against the wall in trying to make it work.  Has anyone had any better luck?  If so, how did you do it using Lot Editor.  Thanks.

If anyone here is a CS asset creator, why not create Wrigley Field in Chicago, there is a lack of Baseball stadiums on the workshop!

RESIDENT_EVIL_RACCOON_CITY_W_SIGN-Rectangle-Metal-Sign-SILVER.jpg

I was wondering if anyone could bat this for me as a billboard welcome sign into my city. If so it would be greatly appreciated.

Conners Creek Power Plant, Detroit MI.card00503_fr.jpg_cf.jpg.b93369bba9f79c847b1074ac4a8d04a8.jpgView from the Detroit side, showing the "7 Sisters" & "2 Brothers"

Description:

Built 1915? by detroit edison, the 7 stacks were dubbed a landmark by local Fisherman and pilots.

The 2 stacks were added on the boiler house in 1950, but the 7 stacks were imploded in 1996.

Local Live

Why this would be beneficial for the game or community:

This Power Plant was a landmark in the detroit-windsor area, it can power a good sized city

I haven't seen it and it is presumably a new building. Make a request over at the BAT request thread and you never know, someone might be interested in making it *:D


"We live in a era where our cities are armed with steel and concrete. Computers and electronics barricade our minds. It doesn’t change the fact that there exists a lot of strange phenomena, bizzare beyond reason or logic. Most folks just don’t see them, that’s because we cling to order to any tiny happiness that comes our way and we bust our humps to blind ourselves with our desires and our pleasures. There’s a world of darkness out there. Beyond time or space. A world filled with evil that is undeniably real and in that world there are things that run wild!”

Dear neighbours, the problem remains. I spent months to relot every plausible bat I have into a residential. The game itself needs much more residentials compared to industrials and commericals. If I download one industrial and one commercial - I'll have to download 3 residentials to have some kind of 'bat balance' in my plugins folder. Now there are these beautiful commercial skyscrapers offering 5000, 6000, 7000 and even more jobs. And if I find a hd residential overseeing the last two, three years - if it has 600, 700 occupants I call myself lucky. But I need 10 of them just to balance the amount of occupants.

To me this diverges more and more. Well, and it's realism that outside of Hongkong and apart from Bixel, residential often don't reach the capacities of commercial towers. So I would say, roundabout, to have a good looking city you'll need even a rate of 1:4 or 1:5 regarding these wonderfull commercial towers and residentials.

And I want to say a big thankyou for

this

and this

(second I immediatly relotted into R$$ and R$$$).

 

But the need for mid and highrise residentials remains. Basicall it never ends - it's like a treadmill, as for every new commercial or industrial building I download arises a need for roundabout 3 to 5 residentials to keep at least by trend an occupants proportion in my plugin folder. And those wonderfull commercials - if I plop one of them and I know now 5 ugly residentials will grow around them - well their beauty seems somewhat violated by the environment. Or - if my cities passing the half million size they tend to look all the same, the residential zones become hong-kongyfied ... or maybe bixelized...? Wel, okay, that' exagerated - as with some selection and relotting and correction you can adjust this.

But still - more residential would help to keep Major Fantozzi calm and relaxed and less despotic. And that's why I strongly recommend to make residentials. The more residential like bats you upload the more he's busy whith using them - the less he will drive us nuts.

And that's an argument, isn't it?

So there's a couple of Residential buildings I'd like to see.

 

First is this house in my hometown, that ha unique wood siding.

Secondly this apartment complex in my hometown

58bb57891e438_711CedarLane.thumb.jpg.e174683f59de9ba4d9be51d5fa05e9c0.jpg

I've yet to see this style of wood siding in Sim City.

Building request:
The tower of Barad-Dur, complete with the eye of Sauron on top, from The Lord of the Rings movies. If possible, make it growable. When disaster strikes an advanced city, and end-stage towers are suffering abandonment all around, Barad-Dur can appear in their midst, supplying huge quantities of slave labor. If Barad-Dur appears in your city, then something's gone horribly wrong.

Then again, you could make it a ploppable monument for the mayor who wants to keep an "eye" on his sims. Maybe it could even be a re-skin of one of the census mods.

Somebody should BAT the Big Bend, a skyscraper proposed by a Greek studio for New York. I mean, look at this!

*:lol:*:rofl:*:lol:

But seriously, if I could BAT I would do it. Simcity 4 needs more surrealistic buildings like this.

I really like this one from your suggestions. Checking it's dimensions on GE it wouldn't be W2W in game, but I think it's worth doing it. I'll take this request.
There are two other in the street that I really like and have perfect dimensions to SC4, the number 424 and the taller one from the block, I couldn't identify its name or number.

@JP Schriefer you could always put a small parking lot on the side. Since there is one (sort of) on the prototype.

The Bullocks Wilshire Building is one of my favorites in Los Angeles and a BAT of it would be incredible to see in SimCity 4.

Do not know about you guys, but am I the only one who would like New Orleans French Quarter buildings, parks, etc. As well as other iconic New Orleans-Cajun architecture?

Just some random inner-French quarter houses.

Bourbon Street.

The St. Louis Cathederal and Cabildo (left) and state museum to the right. 

As well as outside of New Orleans other Louisiana cities like Houma, Napoleonville, etc. has interesting southern architecture of the past and present that would be a interesting thing, especially things like the old Houma Courthouse, before FDR's WPA tore it down for the current one.

I personally would love to see this, as you can see it's my profile picture.

Southdown Plantation in Houma would be a nice museum piece.

I have a flock of historic photos that the community has collected over the years if you need the borrow references if you want to take the request, just DM me.

This would be a great addition to the game!! Count me as requesting them, particularly the ones from the french quarter, that would look perfect on the traditional centre of any latin american city
