Here's the night render, next should be the exporting of this building.

 

[T Wrecks 10,210]

The night windows look gorgeous as usal. However, one thing that slightly confuses me: Why is that greenhouse thingy lit in such a cold colour?

[Darknono35 3,138]

Wow, your night views are simply awesome . But I'm agree with T Wrecks, Why this cold light color for the greenhouse? I think, it's should be less intense and a little more of translucency

Great job as always !!! I can't wait to have this

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

T Wrecks- Thank you, I will make it warmer.

 

Darknono35s- Thank you, I did wanted to make it transparent but I will have to do more work and I want to upload this the month.

 

 

Guys, I will be exporting the building today and I will need some people to test it in the game.

 

Here's the change in the greenhouse.

 

[Darknono35 3,138]

Much better , ready for export

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

I'm exporting right now!!!!

[cmdp123789 710]

I love it!!! Do you need a tester?   

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

I will let you know when I have finished exported all the models day render.

[Sunv 156]

Would Love to see Cogeo to Check the modding. I do miss the days when Twrecks modded my buildings, it seems like I have took his Job.

 

Here's a picture. The picture with the arrows shows a LOD problem, I will have to manually move the vertices so the building does not look like it's floating on zoom 4.

 

 

[cmdp123789 710]

WOW! They look awesome!! I cant believe they are ready already... pm whenever you want me to test them...

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Okay, I will let you know. I wanted Cogeo to test the modding before the growth test, just in case I have to change something.

[cmdp123789 710]

 No problem with that buddy... just make sure you have everything you need before going for the growth test =)

[SimCoug 5,976]

I can take a look at your modding if you need somebody to double check.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

SimCoug I have changed you account to NYBT Member so you can see the threads that are hiding from people who are not members. Cmdp123789 the same goes for you, I do not wan to make to many PMs, so you can go to the link.

Heres' the link to the NYBT Game testing and file scrutiny

[edwardjeria 503]

good my friend

[cmdp123789 710]

Ok, so Ive tried it, and I have nothing to complain really... it grows... variations popped up, and I think its ready to be released, good job buddy!!

[Sunv 156]

I don't think you get the whole scrutineering business.

 

When you test a building, you don't just test if it grows or not. Make sure that it grows in the right zone type, looks alright in all zooms and rotations, has the right amount of sims in it, if the sims can commute, the read-me works, etc.

Oh I do get it... this isnt the first building I test for him... But, since he wanted to keep it short, and not starting a whole new PM, I just stopped by to confirm, an so that everybody knows, that building is ready. If I find something odd, I report it, but since I didnt, I gave him the green light. If you feel like you can do a better job at it, feel free to ask Aaron if you can test his buildings before release. If not, well, let me do what I do, since last time I check you didnt find any troubles with his last buildings right?   

 

On the other hand, I can probably make a full report on what I did test, and maybe share it in here, but I dont think people will be interested in reading that rather than just knowing if its ready or not

Alright, then it's good news

 

If you're an experienced tester, then i've got nothing more to say. It always gives me a worried feeling when something appears to have not been tested fully, so thanks for clearing that up.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

I have doubled checked my modding work and the only problem, I'm having problems fixing is the in the image below, every time I edit it on of the texture disappear from the LOD. Looks like I will have to live it the way it is.

 

SimCoug, have checked my modding and he say some of the stats would need to be worked, but it's a a huge issue. I have lowered the number of Sims that can in the building just a little by just changing the filling degree.

 

[Vlasky 1,803]

Dunno about the problem but they sure look amazing. Also, that block with your buildings, wonderful. 

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Also, that block with your buildings, wonderful. 

It is, it is.

[GeometryMath Algebra 614]

Those apartments look...

[Darknono35 3,138]

Amazing work, I love your buildings, it's so real !!!

Now I do smiles like this guy

I expected more comments on this bat release. A Sim City 4 batter does not get paid, but you can pay the batter in comments.

 

Now what to bat next? Looks like I'm back to thinking on what I can complete before the month is over with.

I am thinking about working on this one, It looks like it will not take as long to make.
 

 

These are other buildings I have my eye on.

 

 

 

 

 

[jaredh 195]

I just DLed it and already had it grow in game.  Very nice Aaron. 

 

Your Residential stuff really dominates my regions.

and as for the options you have, I'm partial to the 875 5th avenue building.
