The corner shop on Walesbridge is so cute!

[Andrey km 304]

Nice and very usefull building we have here. Go nightlights (i love this part) *-*

[raynev1 1,887]

Aaron Graham : I must say your work is incredible and I want to thank you and the rest of the NYBT for the great content you guys share .

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

gutterclub- Thank you, but remember I did said the textures need some work. I am a king at making a roof texture, it will not look that easy.

mattb325- Thank you!!!

Bluthlucidity- Thank you!!!

Andrey km- Thank you, Still have some more work to do to the building.

raynev1- Thank you and your welcome, I'm sure you will love this building is your city.

915 West End Avenue

Still more work to do, I may need to tweek the main brick textures a bit, there are the same textures from the Worthington Apartments. Right now I'm still working on the inputs of the ac units in the windows. I hope I can finish that fast but remember I will have to add the night lights and ac units three more times for the variation of the building. To much for a regular batter, but i'm not a regular.

Here's a look what the variations could look like, there are using the same texture as the Worthington Apartments, but I can change them a bit. I have notice that it getting to the time I will be using the same bricks over and over again, there is but so many things you can do with the same brick colors.

Here's the texture and the template for the 915 West End Avenue, I have been using uwv unwrapping for my roofs sense the Franklin Apartments.

If you place the template over the texture and filter it in a way the green lines only show you will see how I have the areas near the wall darken. Mybe you guys can come of with another variations for the roof, i do like the idea of a white looking roof. If you was to paste it over and over on the dark roof texture it can be a white look roof.

The door you see in the upper right hand corner is the roof access buildings doors and the basement doors. All the doors use that same texture, if you wanted to add another door you can place it next to the one I have in the image and make it the same size.

No comments!!!

915 West End Avenue

Here's another update on the building, all I have to do for the other versions is randomly move the ac units around and the night light windows and I will be exporting this building. This could be the last update you see of the building, I'm sure it's not much for you guys to say but hurry up and upload this and Hattan House.

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Don't worry, Aaron. Zhere will be comments soon, I'm sure.

I like what you did there. I love that typical, weathered NY-style.

Simply perfect as always

[mattb325 28,894]

It's awesome - I love the bleached roof areas. They are so believable on this sort of building and I think you have nailed the texture

[hotChocolate 95]

Great-looking building, as always!

[Darknono35 3,138]

Great building Aaron as always. I love the textures. Very realistic

[Jack_wilds 550]

luv the entries, particularly well done...

[Ion_Cannon 677]

This one has a different feel to it from your previous uploads, I think it's probably the bleached texture that does it. Not that that is a bad thing, I think it looks great

[raynev1 1,887]

Great work , you are a true artist .

[newyorka 26]

I love your ideas! This would make me so happy if you could a Queens, NY style house. Look up 164th street, Queens, NY next to 76th ave. if you need an example.

[Jasoncw 12,030]

It looks great.

I've got a little stretch of avenue where I've been getting your buildings to grow but as much as you've already done so much more is needed!

In the past I just never bothered at all and just had an unkempt high density maxis area to house sims for my offices, but now it's possible to start making these kinds of high density prewar residential areas.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

skyscraper241- Thank you buddy!!!

mattb325- Thank you, a lot of roofs in New York does have there roofs bleached up, I will continue to do this if the real building has a bleaches roof.

hotChocolate- Thank you!!!!

Darknono35- Thank you so much mate!!!

Jack_wilds- Thank you for that!!!

Ion_Cannon- Yeah, the bleach roof texture is a different feel, but i'n not new to me, the concord Arms is the first to have it on the roof from what I remember.

raynev1- Thank you!!!

newyorka- Thank you, right now I have not plan to do any houses yet sense there are so many of those, I'm trying to bat some of the things that need to be batted because not many people is batting them like the Manhattan Apartments.

Jasoncw

It looks great.

Thank you, I'm so happy to hear that buddy!!!

915 West End Avenue & Hattan House

Here's the in game picture of just one version of both the 915 West End Avenue and Hattan House.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Walesbridge

Okay guys, here's a look of what the Walesbridge variations may look like, on the corner building I have already did the night lights, I have did it some days ago, all I have to do is do the variations for the non-corner building and randomly move around the ac units and the night lights. I think this can be another building I can finish this year. There should be a total of eight buildings in this upload so you guys will have more building more is always better, I hate repetitiveness in City Journals.

I have started this building in early 2012 I think around April, I do not know why it took so long like the Bromley and Park Towers, why it's taking so long? For the Bromley and Park Towers it depends on another batter Franis and Vlasky.

[Susaji 523]

Awesome!

[Vlasky 1,803]

Aaron, my friend, you're crazy!! Hahahaha! Soon enough you'll have the same amount of buildings made as all of the Maxis' modelers together! We'll be able to make a city out of your bats only lol

I very much like the new ones! So very charming

As for the park tower, I promise, I'll work on what I need to work as soon as possible :0

[sten1700 102]

Wish there was a button that sets off every other building style and only grows your bats!

[anotn 223]

Looks great Aaron! Maybe you can do some variation in the shops, different awnings and maybe a version with two shops, or something.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Hazani Pratama- Thank you!!!

Vlasky-Thank you, I can't wait to see the day I will have more buildings than all of maxis.

sten1700- Thank you, but most of my buildings are residential, the Sims will have no where to work.

anotn- Lol, your funny I have made a variation in the awnings and shops.

Lol, yeah, I was not making myself clear, I meant to say different geometry in the different versions, not only color variation.

^^^^

Aaron, that bleached roof texture is totally believable and a great variation for these BATs

[Sgt Pepper 864]

Sounds like a good tile set mod idea. xD

Great work Aaron!

[Darknono35 3,138]

Awesome job Aaron, lovely building from NYC

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Thank you guys!!!

I was playing around in Si city and photoshop and this is the dream I want for Sim City 4, a road parking mod for many types of the Nam roads and lined tree roads, with only my favorite cars and trees creator Girafe/VIP Team and New York City street lights by Mandelsoft.

I would call the mod Urban Road Mod, I think it will pave the way for Ele-rails to be on the wide roads like in real life.
