Try decreasing the table's size just a little, or really just it's diameter.  I think the fact that the table is a little big and the building is so skinny is making it seem like all of the furniture is over sized.

[Darknono35 3,138]

Beautiful work my friend this building is one of your best so far .And the small building is amazing too, really come from NY design

But it's true, the table's size is too big, it's a very small detail

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Thank you guys!!!!
 
I hope how this is better.
 


Edit:

I have uploaded 30 E. 81 Street to STEX!!!

 

 

[AnthonyRM1 10]

Fantastic, I've been waiting for this one! I love your buildings, theyve totally transformed my SC4! They look so realistic in-game and give that great high-density W2W environment. Cant wait to see some of the others appear on the STEX

[Darknono35 3,138]

Thanks a million for your 30 East 81 Street Aaron, we have wait for this one , and we wait your next building and your next projects with impatience !!

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Thank you guys!!!

 

201 E. 19 Street

 

Here's an update on the white version of the building, thank you Jack_wilds for the names. On this version the only store I have named was Kelly's Country Soul Food. Here's the list of stores on this model aka the white building.

 

 

Angel's Christian Bookstore

 

Sims Dentalworks

 

Tom's Corner Barber Plus

 

All Feet shoe store

 

Al's All Appliances

 

Kelly's Country Soul Food

 

I have the terraces in place and have added the doors for the terrace entrance. I have changed size of the terrace is a little different from the floor plan, I did this because I want the windows to be seen that's near the terrace. I'm going to added a little more junk on the terrace so it's still needs work, another thing the store glass is not final, it's just a place holder till I UVW Unwrap them.

 

 

 

 

[libellibicus 396]

Fantastic.  Can't wait for the nitelites.

[Jack_wilds 550]

luv it... enjoy the store fronts and using the names...   and a wondering, are NYC store fronts really that narrow, they all seem so narrow  ... any way, its a well done anticipating release...   plus if it ain't too much work what the store names are for the 30 e 81st bldg ...

[Darknono35 3,138]

I can't wait to see this one in my cities I love your names of small stores and shops  they are cool and funny

But I think the brick need to be more dirty on the façade
 

[libellibicus 396]

Maybe a little bit of weathering/staining/fading on the stores canopies, but that's just me starting to nit pick. Overall, this is awesome.

[Ion_Cannon 677]

I love the attention the detail and the balconies are looking really good now too.

[Vlasky 1,803]

Looking good! Me like it! 

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

libellibicus- Thank you, I can wait ot the the nigth lights as well.

 

Jack_wilds- Thank you, New York City shops are narrow, but there is still room to dance about in them.

 

Darknono35- Thank you, I will add a little more dirt on the facade on my next update.

 

libellibicus- I have added a little weathering on some of the canopies but not on all of them, I hope they looks better to you.

 

Ion_Cannon- Thank you!!!

 

Vlasky- Thank you!!!

 

201 E. 19th Street

 

Another update for you New York City fans, I hav added more stuff to the balconies, next I will still have to work ont he shop glass and the night lights for the windows and the balconies.

 

[libellibicus 396]

Just when I thought it couldn't get any better..........how wrong I was!  Pure class

[Jack_wilds 550]

... clever is as clever gets... the progress is progressing nothing to nit-pick

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

libellibicus- Thank you!!

 

Jack_wilds- Thank you!!

 

201 E. 19th Street Variation 4

 

Okay another Aaron Graham update, I have worked on the other version of the building, On the model I will need to work on the lights on the balconies, I want to make some of the light on them a little darker that others, I also will have to work on the store glass, it's the same one for version 3. another thing I will need to work on is the terraces chairs and bushes,  I will need to move them round to look different from each version. I still will have to work on the night lights for the other buildings that's variation 1, 2  and 3. I have a lot to do plus It's time to plan for a new building.

 

 

 

Here's a image of the 201 E. 19 Street next to 237 3rd Avenue and 30 E. 81 Street.

 

[libellibicus 396]

This is delightful. The stores around the base are spot-on. Great work again, Aaron....keep it up.

[Darknono35 3,138]

Spectacular, I like your color variations. The small building is too funny in the middle of the two other

About the roof texture of the 201 E. 19 Street, I think you should too give some variations to the color of the roof

Very good

[Ion_Cannon 677]

The details of the shop frontages is amazing, I love the colour variations as always, we essentially get 4 buildings for the price of 1

[T Wrecks 10,210]

...and the price of 1 is zero dollars for us anyway. If you compare this to the Sims, where people sometimes offer some potted plants or Sims clothing/haircuts/etc for money on a bazillion of scattered, self-hosted sites, the comparably strong organization and "free content for the fans, made by the fans" that prevails in the SC4 custom content community is really a culture to be proud of.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

libellibicus- Thank you!!!

 

Darknono35- Thank you, I have been thinking about doing a variation for the roof. So I should just have two types of roofing texture.

 

Ion_Cannon- Thank you, I love giving four out of the price of one, it's so cool for me to do that.

 

T Wrecks- Yes, your right. All the work we modders do and batter do and we do not charge a soul. This is how a reat game can live on and on.

 

 

237 3rd Avenue

 

Another update to the skinny thing. I'm am so happy to see the finish line on the horizon, I have worked on the night lights on this building and I just may post again today.

 

In the render below you can see four buildings with different texture of bricks and the stores are different on each model. The fourth model has a back render for you to see if I need to change anything, so enjoy guys.

 

 

The stores on the first floors of each building are....

 

Model 1: Paddy Maguire's Aie House 

 

Model 2: Urban Hatz

 

Model 3: Home Of Hamburgers 

 

Model 4: Pool Table Alley

 

[Vlasky 1,803]

Darknono35- Thank you mate!!!

libellibicus- Thank you!!!

365 West End Avenue

Here's a small update on the West End Avenue apartment. I have added some of the facade details to the building but there's more to get done on it.

[Vlasky 1,803]

Looking good! The unstoppable man keeps on making  

[Ceafus 88 1,928]

Awesome Start my friend!

[libellibicus 396]

A great start. Nice one mate.

[Darknono35 3,138]

I like this one, it's will be fantastic.
