The ones that never made it to STEX

[gutterclub 2,729]

I was doing some BAT thread reminiscing earlier and its amazing how many awesome BATers and contributors have dropped off the face off the Simearth in the past couple of years...

Its super cool that we still have the likes of Jason, Nofunk, Mattb, Seraf, JP Schriefer, IDS, Bipin, Xylo and occasionally Girafe still flying the flag...I do wonder what happened to the below and whether they or their amazing works will resurface. So here's to some of my all time faves who have mysteriously just disappeared from the BAT scene...

Paulvmontfort

Simfox

Cockatoo

Scotty

Darknono

Aarron Graham

Delecto

Amthaak

Delija21

Kellydale

PBGV

Anotn

Harishna

Heblem

Psanda5

Vlasy

Simhottoddy

Francis

Bixel

McDrye

Kodebo

 

Thanks for the memories!! Haha

Quite a random assortment of Bats, to be honest

 

 

STOP IT!

This hurts too much ...

 

Especially those diagonal residentials are (would be?) top-notch.

[MissVanleider 1,851]

These are great, almost enough to inspire me to play SC4 again. Obviously if they were released, it would definitely be exciting enough to play SC4 again

So while looking at any BATs I've made, I came across this wall, which by the name of the file, was supposed to be an office building based around some in Farmers Branch/Addison, Texas. I might continue it someday, but probably not. But if I had finished it, it would have been similar to MadHatter's Midrise Packs.

That's a long list indeed. You can perhaps add to it all the talented Japanese BATers like APTX, NOB and KS.

Some of these people are still active on other websites. I will not say who or where because I don't want to see people harassing them about unreleased masterpieces. Seems they decided to leave the SC4 scene for good. At least these guys didn't pull a Gobias.

I know it was not the intention but placed this way seems a bit of condemnation to an attitude whose arbitrariness should fit only to him and that in my opinion should not be judged by anyone

Just as I have saved many of the fantastic works of creators cited above and are still available have also made for others whose connections were lost as well as  the Gobias works were also available for save while he wanted it 

Because some needed his work to call attention to the own work should not become reason for the attitudes of the Gobias should now be stereotyped as a model of what is harmful and should be rejected by all, not agree?

A lovely list.  

It's actually kind of depressing how people disappear over the years...

Psst... technically I've "dropped off the face of the Simeearth" too...

I'm still around, I have to get back to batting when I get a chance.

[watercitymadero 805]

No matter what, all the great BATers inspire a lot of people in this community. 

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Hey, I'm still her

[BugeyedDragon 412]

There are a lot of really great BATters, it's a shame mattb has stopped (or taken a hiatus i know what how what he's going through feels) BATting, but personally my favorite content creators have been Girafe, Mattb325 (all time), nofunk, rivit, nos.17, jason, aaron, bipin (nice guy and great batter yet his grungry smokestack base textures don't work and i get that annoying missing floor glitch), bixel's modelling, and SG's modelling (modelling specifically because sometimes the lots were a bit eh but the models are always fantastic), MGB, simfox... a lot of people have a spot in my plugins folders where i have all their stuff (by spot i mean i just have all their stuff my plugins folder is equivalent to a 7 year old spoiled kid who doesn't clean his room lol that messy). it must be a great feeling looking at your buildings in simcity 4 and how superior they look to the official maxis creations.

edit: I FORGOT JP SCHRIEFER

[watercitymadero 805]

I miss Reddonquixote work, and I don't know if Redd take a large hiatus. It seems like he do it.

[JP Schriefer 5,591]

That's ok, BugeyedDragon, not even I like my own BATs,  I have 11 files on STEx, but only 3 of them in my plugins folder

He's only on SC4Devotion now. He doesn't update his thread there for a while, but he's often online.

I think it is my turn to reply to this thread.

[gutterclub 2,729]

Such a shame you never released some of these, the row shops would have been ideal. Would they be far off prepping for release? Or if you ever wanted to 'abandon them' so somebody could render them for personal use

 

Good to see you back on the forum regardless!!!

Um... these need to make it. Like they NEED to make it.

[MushyMushy 3,618]

The sadness is too much to bear... I wish more BATers would find a suitable person to finish their unfinished works when they quit modeling instead of abandoning them entirely. This thread is such a sad thread.

[art128 4,622]

Now now Todd, that's not how you post after a two years leave.

[Xander Dax 310]

This thread is SOOO depressing.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

 

SimHoTToDDy please finish these buildings, and I want you to come back an make more buildings.

You only have to look at the models that were released unfinished to get an idea why this doesn't happen very much.

Most people who BAT aren't interested in picking up other models, they'd rather work on their own projects. However, I like to reuse or resuscitate where I can, I've a few more gems in my inbox to work through.

[airman15 4,113]

Those W2W buildings.. 

This thread never shorts itself on a hearty serving of sadness..

I think it was meant that people who have no intention of finishing could give to a decent batter to finish, rather than releasing an unfinished model. I know I'd happily help finish off some BATs and credit the creator.

I know I had good fun with some of Xannepans Paris models, bringing them over from scanline to MR and Bat4Max...

Oh my! I'd love both of those. The first has so many possible uses while the second is a fantastic residential that everyone would have a place for

The Brewster Douglass Projects are all exported and in my hands. I need to make a set of ground textures for their lot and that's what's holding me up.

Ahem!

I loved Sam Johnsons work, although his colour pallete was sometimes a little too dark. Anyone know what happened to him?
