this is really interesting 

I won't make any promises, since I'm busy with other BATs and I don't even know how to create overhanging buildings rn and have some problems with custom LODs haha but I will take a look on it

I just put it up as an idea for anybody to make, not a request. Thought it might make an off-the-wall I-HT if anyone wanted to take a shot at it. I agree it should have a 1 tile overhang for hills and such. Btw, there's a light panel similar to the one on the face, up on the roof. Google it.

Super-duper – Rip-snorting – 3-D Modeler Needed !!

Yo, Guys --

My apologies if this is off-topic – but I thought it might get some attention here.

Is there anyone out there interested in a quick-simple project - ??

I need a prop for a “ploppable” shell splash – (Yeah – I know – it’s TOTALLY off the wall…)

 

If you think you can knock-out a really fast 1x1 size prop…

And you would like to knock-out a “shell splash” for your skills resume’…

Get in touch and we can discuss the details ---

P.S.  -- You MUST be able to control "runaway" LOD's !!

Sample picture of a “shell splash” included for reference...

Hello everyone,

I’d like to request the creation of The Legends Tower on SimCity 4, it’s going to be located in Oklahoma City and will be the tallest building in the US. There are some pictures below followed by a website where you can find more information about it.

Thank you so much in advance!

The Boardwalk at Bricktown - AO | Architecture. Design. Relationships. (aoarchitects.com)

Actually, there’s already a 3D model - The Boardwalk at Bricktown - - 3D Warehouse (sketchup.com) – that could be used to help its creation.

So, just gonna follow the template that was mentioned way back in the first post:

Hampton Terrace Hotel

 

Description:

looking to get a model of the hotel if possible, just cause I think it's an interesting building

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampton_Terrace_Hotel

https://www.scpictureproject.org/aiken-county/hampton-terrace-hotel.html

https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=31103

https://www.loc.gov/item/2016800996/

https://www.augustachronicle.com/story/news/local/north-augusta-today/2017/01/11/north-augusta-s-grand-hampton-terrace-hotel-burned-100-years-ago/14203693007/

and there's loads more floating across google, for both images and history of it

 

Why this would be beneficial for the game or community:

This is a rather interesting historical building. If it hadn't burned down when it did, it's possible that Hollywood would be on the east coast instead of the west coast.

(does anyone read the beneficial for game/community part?)

Anyway, I think it's a rather interesting building that would be neat to see irl, but since it burned down, and has since been built over (I've walked past it many many times without knowing about it for a while), I'd like to see it live again, if nothing else, for some added uniqueness to the game.

If a lot is possible that's great, if not, I can work on some kind of a lot for it. Though it'll likely be a landmark structure mostly, since that's basically what it was in real life.

If you want to be entertaining and create both a full color and a black and white version be my guest, but I'd prefer a full color version myself. And hopefully someone with a good eye for early 1900s colors can supply the proper coloring for it. While the image supplied is colored, I'm not entirely sure that the image was a color image, or if it was colorized. Not exactly sure of when color photography first showed up for that one.

hi I've been looking for some 3d bats and realistic-looking ones since I've been using the 3d camera mod right now by @memo and I want to make a city where mostly all the buildings are good-looking and realistic-looking do you perhaps recommend a uploader/user who makes this kind of buildings?

[SimRico 968]

Would you be kind and able to bat a building like this?  I think this one is very good looking too.

To my knowledge, @justforfun is the only person that has made true 3D buildings for the game, instead of the typical pre-rendered BAT models, so you can have some, but definitely not build a full city only with them.

As an alternative, you could try to mainly use buildings that are naturally rectangular in shape, as they get less distorted than more curved shapes. Also, very tall buildings will also tend to get distorted on the top, so trying to use mostly mid-rise ones might also help.

Are there brave souls to take on this daunting masterpiece?   The Breakers , Newport, RI?

 

 

[redlight123 7]

Looking forward to a new version of shanghai center for SimCity 4. It is a rather classic building which will add color to the game. The old version is only a wrong framework, mimicking an eliminated version of the project.

I am a man in words. I completed my old request that I accepted.

 

But I will not gonna accept any requests anymore.

The original intention of me to make BAT is to bring my surrounding world to the game. Even though Hong Kong is technically next to my city. I am more willing to find and model my favorite building instead of being driven by someone's will.

So I hope you can understand it.

And one more thing is that I have to let Feng Shui decide when I will release it instead of being driven by someone's will.

you are very lucky, I envy you, omg, I wish I have the luck to admire all those skyscrapers myself, thank you very much, I saw your post on SUWYWO thread and I wowed, I agree, it's better to take real life inspiration, I have that making paints in the past. I admire your talent, and hope you can have fun creating art and travel to any place you want. Thank you very very much and huge regards friend. This inspired me to go back to finish my terrain mods hehe

I've got an issue with a seaside location and I feel like this is the thread to request the missing piece.

First, the location:

This is a seaside canal I built in one of my smaller towns. Houses are right at the shoreline, and the sea extends practically to their garden. Hence, I'm looking for something to separate them.I want to have something like #4 here, on the right: a small boardwalk, maybe with some small leisure boats, a mooring point, something simple like that. I do have #4, of course -- but this is designed to use with the Diggis ponds, and as you can see in the picture, I'm just raw dogging it with actual seawater. Also, #4 needs to be built on dry land, which is no good due to space constraints.

I have several seawall options available, but none of these works for what I'm looking for:

1. Has the right size (half a tile, instead of the entire thing) and is the best option I currently have available. However, I don't think rocks/gravel work very well with single-family housing.
2. Is a boardwalk, like what I'm looking for, but it uses the entire tile (I also seem to have placed it backwards, but that's 100% on me). I'm looking for something that looks like an extension to the housing property, a small passageway, not something that has more realestate than the actual housing.
3. Is just too much. If I could just have the seaside half of the lot, I'd be happy -- but the entire thing is excessive. Also, Lot #3 is actually two tiles long, which is also an issue because the entire canal is 3 tiles wide and I need to fit pieces on both sides.

(For reference, here's #2 on another city)

So, does anyone know of a piece that's similar to #4 that can be placed on the shoreline? I found none, though I did find plenty of similar pieces designed to work with some sort of MMP water. That's why I'm posting here instead of on the larger "Can't find it?" thread, though I might do a crossover there.

Also, if you need real-life inspiration: this is what I have in picture. Tigre, Argentina.

These ones seems to tick almost all of the boxes, but the only issue is that they're designed to work with ploppable water. Maybe worth a try to use these to create lots similar to @nbvc's marina. Hopefully someone else can chime in on that!

Another option might be to take the wooden parts from this and turn those into custom lots:

Yes, I went diving into the STEX and there's a lot of very neat options that would do the trick… except they're made for ploppable water. Lots that work on actual water seem to be harder to come by, I don't know if that's because they're more difficult to make or what.

I think the Murimk Rural Marina is your best bet right now. And I think they can work with the game water. If you can't do it right away when you download it, just edit them using Lot Editor to make them water compatible and it will work!

Tried it, doesn't work with the game water.  And I'm on a Mac, so I'm SOL when it comes to editing files, which is a shame because the Rural Marina would actually be pretty good in this situation.

[rsc204 21,806]

It’s pretty easy to switch lots to being water based, you can get the LE running (and many other tools) simply by installing Windows in a VM. Free options exist.

For now if you can clearly identify a couple of lots that would work better for you as water based, I can make a few edits on your behalf.

Perhaps, this is a few things you may like to do!  One is the Louisiana supermarket chain Rouses, and the other is the Alabama based Greer's. Both are old family owned supermarket chains, Rouses dominates a lot more of the deep south and Greer's is more localized in Alabama and Mississippi

I see Schwegmann's too! As a Louisiana local, whew that is good! I grew up in the city Rouses got it start + its corporate HQ, if you need good reference stores let me know, I can find some!

I'm glad this thread exists!

 

I've been meaning to model buildings myself, but I keep setting them aside. I guess 3d modeling burns me out too quickly for me to want to do it. So, I have a few requests. I don't care how long it'll take for all of them to be finished, I'm very patient.

 

- Roger's Center - Toronto

 

Edit: - Toronto City Hall

 

- Singer Billboards. No particular albums, just the singers themselves and their music in general. Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, beabadoobee, The Weeknd, etc.

 

- Anything bringing the game into the 2020s.

 

- Those homes, along with the school, in South Park. I want to make cartoon towns/cities for fun. The Griffin residence from Family Guy would be an example for Quahog. Also, I understand making Springfield from The Simpsons would probably require a lot of lots. I'm sure a few of them are on here. There are probably lots that look like the buildings from The Ghost and Molly McGee, but I'd need to really compare. It would be better to have actual lots based on them.

 

I'm going to search for a thread like this for Cities Skylines hehe. I have a ton of other things I want to see in that game.

Oh yeah I'm aware there are some Simpsons lots, but I haven't checked to see how many there are yet. If all the ones that count are on here, then that's great.

 

I'm looking for some good foreign sites, do you know any with a bunch of lots, similar to Simtropolis?
