@SC4Fanatic2004 The Zions Bank in Boise, ID ( 800 W Main St STE 100) is a beautiful building. Those map pictures don't do the building any justice.

Hay @SC4Fanatic2004, check out the first post in this thread, found here- https://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/30082-bat-request-thread/?do=findComment&comment=797317. Might have good results getting the buildings in the game.

Shopping Nova Iguaçu - Nova Iguaçu/RJ

 

 

Oh, I really miss some urban shopping malls (maybe 5x5 or 6x6 buildings covering a whole block) for high density areas. We have plenty of suburban big horizontal malls available on STEX, but very few urban, vertical ones like these:

Beiramar Shopping - Florianópolis, Brazil

Diamond Mall - Belo Horizonte, Brazil

Praia de Belas Shopping - Porto Alegre, Brazil 

Edit: Shopping Conjunto Nacional, Brasília - Brazil

It would be great a version of Conjunto Nacional as it used to be from the 1970s until the 1990s, with neon sigs instead of those awful cheaper vinyl banners. 

Or also some unassuming, old school, gap-filling, narrow, w2w malls found in busy downtowns like these:

Della Giustina Shopping (1980s) - Criciúma, Brazil 

Or not too unassuming like Toronto Eaton Centre.

However, going back to the realm of the suburban malls, I think that Starcourt Mall (from Stranger Things), especially with those neon lights, would be so great.

I started modeling Diamond Mall years ago due to its very simple shape and facades - usually other shopping centers will have irregular shapes that won't fit SC4 grid - but I got frustrated because I didn't remember its entrances are in different levels and I'd have to adapt one of them (probably excluding the staircase) making the model too monotonous. I still have its rough sketch though, maybe I can do something with it in a distant future.

That's right! I remember seeing it on your list of projects somewhere, like many years ago. Actually, I was looking forward to see it, but I forgot it with time, lol.

And I believe it would be a great job regardless of the level, because it is barely noticeable (at least from Google Street View), I think it can be fixed.

By the way, the pictures are more to show only the overall concept of those malls (so uniquely common here in Brazil), and request something slightly similar, not the actual buildings, since some of them just wouldn't fit on a SC4 regular grid (unless they were overhanging lots).

+1

Also it is striking to me just how dense Philly was/is.  And also how they deformed the street grid to build these towers!

@SC4Fanatic2004 semi-related, if you're into Atlantic city....

I made a model based off he AC boardwalk for personal use some time back. if anyone is interested, or can light this up/show me how to do it in a realistic way, I'll send the model.

 

 

[City_Slider 2,716]

Sorry, was asked many Times be4. It wont happens again.

[Whte_rbt 1,431]

@City_Slider That specific one has been requested several times before. There is a similar concept rectangular tower on one of the Jap sites, with the Highway going thru it. I'll send u a link if i can find it.

[City_Slider 2,716]

I am sorry, but how should i know it? I dont read this Thread every Day.

Could a MOD delete this stupid request please? I wont ask in here again...

*E* I deleted by myself, thanks.

[Whte_rbt 1,431]

Don't worry about it dude. If nothing else, it highlights the continuing demand for someone to make this building in-game.

Sincerely,

@City_Slider I see, I have some similar thought in my wild list.

 

You can show me the pic of it here or my thread, Let's see what I can do for you.

[City_Slider 2,716]

I wonder if anybody remember a creator, Jon M? Back in 2010 he was working on a canal called The Urban River Project. It was a truly amazing set that never made it to the STEX.                   I stumbled upon it the other year but unfortunately I didn't save the pictures of this spectacular project. Now pictures are gone. Too bad. Now I wonder if anybody was smarter than me and saved some pictures of this unfinished gem. If You have some pictures laying around somewhere please put them on display here and maybe some of our great artists will get tempted to do something like that. I think we could have good use for some more decorative and cityesque canals... Grungy is cool but sometimes the cleaner, more exclusive inner city look is preferable...
