Use this thread to request BATs.  BAT requests are not permitted anywhere else on Simtropolis.  Please read the other requests in this thread before making your own requests, to ensure that your requests haven't already been requested (say that 5 times fast).

Formatting:

Use the following format when posting requests.  An example is shown in the next post, which you can copy and paste to help you get the text formatting.

This format will help you clearly and concisely communicate your request, which will make it easier for BATers to browse this thread.  BATers are resourceful, but you'll need to provide enough information to help get them started.  Provide as much useful information as possible, however, in order to preserve conciseness, use links instead of reposting all of the information in this thread.

My example request is shorter than yours may be, but your request shouldn't be any longer than a few paragraphs total.

Old BAT Request Threads:

With Simtropolis 6.0 comes the elimination of the dreaded page flip bug, a bug in the forum software which caused browsing difficulty in long threads, including the old BAT Request Thread.  Threads created in Simtropolis 6.0 do not suffer from the page flip bug, and so a new BAT Request Thread is born.

Also, like all of the BAT Request Threads, the last one quickly became a jumbled mess, intimidating, and hard to navigate.  To avoid that, this time we'll try using a standardized format, which may improve browsability and encourage BATers to look through this thread for ideas more often.

Tokyo Mode gakuen

Description:

the name of this tower is called Tokyo Mode Gakuen; It looks like a cocoon or easter egg; the lights are cyan blue during night hours and this building was completed in Shinjuku on October 2008.  The building is used by students,  as it is the the tallest facility used for education =)

here are some links to more photographs of Tokyo Mode Gakuen.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Skyscrapers_of_Shinjuku_2009_January.jpg

Why this would be beneficial for the game or community:

This very complex building is an absolute important update on the Shinjuku skyline; especially for those who have cities modeled after Tokyo. Also the building itself is very bizzare in a good way, its modern appearance would certainly enhance any city's attractiveness. ^.^

Description

Yeah, I know, this building is a little out of the time range, as it is scheduled to be completed way after 2010, but it worths being mentioned, being by far the tallest structure, with an estimated height of 1001 m (3,284 ft). And the name? Burj Mubarak al-Kabir, part of the Madinat al Hareer (City of Silk), massive complex that is going to be built in kuwait over the next 25 years, containing the tower, a new airport, a natural reservation and many business and entertainment centers. more information http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madinat_al-Hareer

Why this would be beneficial for the game or community

helps to make your city alot better soon to be highest real building ever uploaded on the stex maybe

Description:

There are already various kinds of modular walls available here on the LEX as well on the STEX (medieval walls, Asian-type walls, modern walls), but I was wondering if anyone would like to make modular star fort (trace-italienne) walls? Star fort fortifications were the norm in Europe from the Renaissance to the 19th century, and there are a lot of star fort fortifications outside Europe as well. For example, heblem from LBT BATted this star fort in Mexico: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=19966

 

Here's the link to Wikipedia about star fort fortifications: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_italienne

 

Obviously star fort fortifications are quite complicated, but I think a simplified version is certainly feasible. For example, this is a diagram of the historical center of my city, Manila (one of the places where star fort fortifications were built, by the Spanish).

Why this would be beneficial for the game or community:

It can help players create a more complete recreation of 16th-19th century city districts. Plus... it's the only kind of wall that hasn't been batted yet. Medieval walls have already been BATted, as well as Asian-style walls and modern ones. So why not star fort walls?

HWDSB - Board of Education

Description:

A board of education building.  A centralized location for the facilitation of education over a region of land.

Quick Facts

Total number of schools

Elementary: 96 Secondary: 18

Total number of students

Elementary: 34,305 Secondary: 18,535

Total number of staff

Academic: 6,235

Business and Support: 1,066

Students traveling by bus: 16,000

Why this would be beneficial for the game or community:

A slight increase to the school bus radius and a slight increase to education, but at the cost of running the facility.  Perhaps a requirement of having X connected regions, the city hall, the main library, the major art museum, and so on.  It's not a school, it's not a library, it's not a museum, but it's good for education. 

If you need more pictures, let me know and I'll see what I can find.  Thanks in advance to whomever takes on this request.

Red Rooster

Description:

Red Rooster is an Australian fast food chain, specialing in roast chicken and chips, in addition to fish and chips, chicken burgers and subs, etc.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Rooster

http://www.redrooster.com.au/

Why this would be beneficial for the game or community:

Most of the fast food style commercial service lots avaliable for the community at the moment are very american orientated, as far as I am aware there are currently no other Australian fast food services lots avaliable for the game.

This lot would make it a lot easier for gamers whishing to create an Australian themed city, in addition to providing more variety in fast food lots to gamers.

[rh1346 2]

Baseball Stadiums

(Clockwise from top left): Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Shea Stadium in Queens, New York, The Kingdome in Seattle, and the Astrodome in Houston.

Description:

Baseball stadiums that reflect the 60s-70s era of building stadiums in which most, if not all, were "cookie cutter" styled, many of them domed as well. A replica of, say, The Astrodome would suffice in meeting this need.

Why this would be beneficial to the game or community:

The reason why this would be benieficial to the game and communtiy is because it would enable more Simtropolis members to build more realistic sports franchise histories in their cities.

Hi Daniel,

here is a RR & HJ's I did a while back that weren't up to scratch IMO. If you feel otherwise I would be happy to send them to you, just pm me.

I too am keen for more Australian retail in game, as are some of my other teammates in TD (Team Downunder). Come and check out our home base at sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php  We have a list of most Australian related plugins which I'm sure you'll find handy. Also anyone with BATting, LOTting or MODding inclinations is free to apply. I'm also part way through doing a Makin Mattresses which I am showing in my ST thread (see my signature)

[LILCHRIS5X 5]

I don't have any sort of picture because I don't reallycare what design it takes but I searched up the STEX and found no waterparks. This annoyed me so I came to this.

Why would this be beneficial for the game or community:

Seaside resorts need some sort of proper attractions and waterparks feature heavily in that and this would help everybody create a really good seaside resort. I'm thinking of creating a map for that purpose and uploading it but there's no point because the attractions aren't great enough or realistic enough. 

[thingfishs 416]

have you seen jawood's Splash Point Water Park? It's IMO an excellent (and large) water park. It comes in three pieces that join together to make one complex: water slides, wave pool and front entrance

Church's Chicken:

http://www.madisonind.com/uploads/gallery/165_Churchs_Chicken.jpg

Description:

Church's Chicken is, of course, an American fast-food chain, serving, well, fried chicken. It is also famous for being the subject of a well-known Ricky Smiley phone prank. ( "What time y'all's service? Don't the chicken belong to the church?")

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church's_Chicken

www.churchs.com/index.html

www.churchspr.net/

Why this would be beneficial for the game or community:

I particularly would like one of these, because it is very common in Puerto Rico, where I live. It never hurts to have more fast food (well, it might make your Sims fat, but the hell with them, it's their choice!)

The first building style of Church's Chicken is very common in Puerto Rico, but as of now it is no longer built.

The second building design is more modern. All the new Church's are being built in this style.

[skitbil 2]

Ponderosa Steakhouse:

Description:

Ponderosa is a chain buffet/steakhouse found in some U.S. cities, and all over Puerto Rico.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponderosa/Bonanza_Steakhouse

www.ponderosasteakhouses.com/ponderosa/

Why this would be beneficial for the game or community:

In my opinion, we don't have nearly enough steakhouses in the STEX, and this is a good place to start. Not only that, but this particular design I find very intuitive.

[Hemp316 3]

Description:

Santa Maria,CA City Hall

I live in Santa Maria and would like someone make this for one of my Cities.I made A version of it in SC2K,but of course no one except A few people knew about it.It's A nice looking Building and I'm sure would look great in any City.

[Hemp316 3]

Description:

Nipomo,CA Jocko's Steakhouse and BBQ

It's A local Institution in the Central Coast of California area.It's an old school Steakhouse and BBQ place who's main specialty is local Tri Tip and Santa Maria-style BBQ which is widely known for being it's own unique Cuisine.Jocko's also has A cool old school Bar and friendly Service.This would be so cool to have it in all my Cities and I'm sure everyone would love it too.As far as Building it is concerned it's A simple Building,but with A lot of personality.

[Hemp316 3]

Description:

Buellton,CA Split Pea Anderson's Restaurant

If you ever drove down the Freeways of Central Coast of California down 'Ol Route 66 you're bound to have seen A Billboard of for Split Pea Anderson's Restaurant.It's A cool little Restaurant that is known the world over for their Award Winning and famous Split Pea Soup and colorful cartoon Mascots.It's another Institution of Central California just like Jocko's and again would make an excellent addition to any City.

Why this would be beneficial for the game or community:

It's the last major kind of wall/fortification that isn't available yet to the community, and it's perfect for someone looking to build a colonial-type city or a 16th-18th century type city. If anyone would like to take this on, I'm willing to take close-up pictures of the walls in this diagram, if necessary. Just send me a message. Thanks!

Bonney Lake High School

Description:

This is a five year old High School in a suburban town of 15,000. Yearly average student enrollment is between 1,300 and 1,450 students. Two stories and has three wings of classrooms on both floors with a fourth wing in the main building.

The above image is the Back View.

Top View

Front View

Right Side View

Why this would be beneficial to the game and community:

There are very little school BAT's compared to skyscrapers on the site and schools play a big role in developing towns and cities. This school was built in 2005, showing modern architecture and style and would stand out beautifully in the game.

Note: The school also comes with tennis courts and a football (american) field.
