Lot Request Thread

[bobtomted 7]

recently iv been getting a lot of bad criticism about my uploads and i do give u the body dump it was a bad idea in retrospect but the purpose of it was far from holocaust or fun killing gone wild it was a place u would commonly find in large disasters but any way the lots that i have been uploading go with certain style cities that im currently working on in my game witch is countryside rolling hills and plain old fields of nothing and that's were most of my lots here recently belong ie chicken slaughter house were would u find that certainly not a vast metropolis or small city but in the country yes that's were you will find it and that's were its meant to be placed along with the meat packing plant and trailer park so any confusion on this should be answered here not for big sprawling metropolises just for rural country regions

Can someone add minimal fire functionality to the mayors house lot, and make it a ploppible building? Bonus if you can sit a fire truck on the lawn as a prop. The total cost of the fire service should be $50 or less.

Please PM me if this is possible and/or you've done so. I wish to design a sort of very small town hall building for starting towns, where you get one "free" fire truck with almost 0 coverage, but, that the cost could be covered by the free $100 grant that "legalize gambling" can give you.

As well, as a separate request, can someone create a small $25 power station, perhaps using an existing model with slight changes (IE the 1X1 solar panel with something different or something, or, perhaps that small 1X1 diesel generator but with a sign?? I dunno) I really dont care what it looks like so long as it generates almost no power and is cheap - again, so the $100 legalize gambling thing will cover it.

How about Michiel de Ruyter Stateu

Hi all, I'm all new to this

My lot. request is pretty simple. Would it be possible to make a park pavement set (stone and grass tiles of differend kind) to the Stex because i am having trouble with the lot editor as every time i try to change the stone of a park, it will not take effect, because the base texture changes the whole time into another base tile.

Secondly I have been noticing that the rail lot looks ugly brown when planted near other objects. How can I change for example into grass?

Thanks for responding

I could try to do this if you wish, I've been needing a few lots to make and I've always enjoyed making parks.

And the rail lot isnt actually a lot, its a texture, as far as changing this I dont know (well dont remember) however the Network Addon Mod has a replacement texture for it.

Hi,

That would be nice and would make my City look much better

Thanks

Okay, so I've mentioned this in my BAT thread, but I may as well try here too.

 I've created a velodrome BAT, and whilst I'm happy with the model, I've no idea where to start with Lotting it. I'm happy to pass on the model to someone (we'd need to consult about whether it comes with a base or not) if they can Lot it well. If it's good we can work something out for uploading it to the STEX.

Hello everyone. I have an interesting idea for a BAT, though I am rather terrible at making lots. Adding to the challenge, the building has a very odd shape. I was wondering if anyone would be up to the challenge of making a BAT of the Egg, a building that is used to house performances in a large theater inside. It's shaped like an off-center egg cup, which makes it stand out from the surrounding buildings in it's natural Albany, NY setting. It could serve as a land mark or CS$$$ building. I can't seem to find the exact dimensions of the building, but I've included several pictures. I just thought it would be interesting in large cities, because it has the slightly "off" look that makes it stand out from the crowd.

A FUTURE CITY LOVER'S DREAM:

a 9x9 circular concrete platform. You place it out in the ocean near the shore and on top along the edge would be futuristic buildings/homes and in the center a rotary with a bridge or an underground network leading to the shore. For buildings with higher capacities the top would be occupied with a rotary with a ramp in the center leading down into the platform where there is parking, and elevator booths to the surface. The top of the platform would be a preferable 10 meters from the surface of the ocean to prevent waves from getting inside the parking area (IF IT IS LEFT OPEN). Maybe a decorative ring of lights could be added around the edge for that WOW factor. If you want more complete (or exact) sketches just message me! i'd love for someone to do this, as it could also allow for expansion to be made in the city without changing the terrain.

[nadav_82 26]

This is just an idea, but I was thinking someone could do this with little effort:

I made an image of it, of course it's just an example. I made it from the Da Vinci Tower made by Roe99 (Cool building btw, thank's!) and thought this could look pretty.

What do you guys think? Unfortunately my lot editor crashes, if not I would have tried to do it by my own... Does anybody wants to give it a try???

Do what? i really don't see what you are trying to make there. You havent explained what you are doing very well.

I'm not doing anything. I was suggesting that you do a building that looks lika that or something! I.e. taking the top part of davinci off and making a new roof...

It could be a new hotel or smthing... I just love the look of that building and thought it could be modified this way...

Very likely your lot editor crashes due to buffer overflow. Rename your plugins folder (temporarily) and make a new one containing only the stuff you want to edit, and it should work. The LE doesn't have room to load the game's lots plus a big plugin suite. Remember, these programs were all designed to run in 128K, so you have to make allowances and workarounds. Being a legacy programmer myself, I don't take crash for an answer.

If you want to really change that structure, you'll have to get it over into the BAT.

Thank's Nonny for answering also to my other thread. I'll add more there.

Requests for lots to be made should always be made in the Lot Request Thread, which is pinned at the top of this forum. This keeps the forum tidy and the requests all in one place where people can find them. It would be really appreciated if you could help out with this by using the official thread for your requests. Thanks.

Edit: Posts have now been moved.

Could someone please make the Unip Building? (UNIP: Universidade de São Paulo | Paulista University) ?

Here are some photos:

A Naval Air Station using F-14 Tomcats, F-4 Phantoms, Harriers, Ospreys, and Hueys. That would be much better than the cheesey AFB made by Maxis with those ugly, ugly fighters.

I'm not sure if I post this in the correct place, but would it be possible to make "Red Square/Kremlin"? I'm surprised not already in game because St Basil's cathedral is there.

[Hotwheeler 409]

Hey Guys,i`m wondering if someone could do me a big favor and make a lot for me that`s based on the well known Chelsea Piers in Manhattan.

My Lotting Skills are somewhat limited and really basic,but this would need an experienced Lotter and Modder.

The good thing is,i already put some thought in it.

 

This is how the actual Piers look from above:

 

 

The buildings facade is covered in a 90s styled Metalsheet Facade.

The real Facade looks more traditional and that would be the look i`m after.

 

This is how they looked back in the good old days

 

http://www.chelseapiers.com/new/company/images/history-1.jpg

 

As for the front half of the long stretched parts,maybe the building from the Maxis Reward Trainstation could be used.

As for the other parts in the water,i think thef PEG Pier Warehouses would fit best.

As for the surroundings,everything from the historic harbor sets to everything from PEG`s Waterfront Stuff couls be used.

 

I also made some scribbely sketches:

 

Right End

 

 

 

Left End

 

 

 

Overview

 

 

 

I think to achive the best result,maybe this thing could be made modular,like the front entrance parts may be placed part on land and part on water while the actual narrow warehouse piers can be placed only on water.

For my sketches is used paper with grid pattern,so this might be a good way to see ho big this pier thing might be .

 

As for the Specs,maybe it can be done as a Harbor or as an M Industrial Lotr with several Workers (i wonder how many people worked back in the good old days on the real life version)

 

It would mean very much to me if someone would take this request.This might be pretty big,but good things always need a while.

 

So,any takers?

So,any takers?

 

The honest answer is most likely going to be 'no'.  Just like the BAT request thread, the odds of getting a BATer to fulfill a fellow members request are slim to none.  I'm not saying it doesn't happen - it does - but that is the exception.  Your best bet is to tackle this on your own.  Fortunately the Lot Editor is pretty simple to use compared to the BAT.  It looks like you have spent some time thinking about what you want to accomplish, so I would suggest taking a stab at it.  The more you use the LE, the more proficient you will become.  

 

I've been taking a little break from SC4, but I can try and answer any questions that come up.  Good luck!

[Aflack122791 13]

Sports Authority Field NFL stadium or any NFL stadium thats not a dome. I would literally pay someone through PAYPAL to do it.

 

Its funny how theres 5 top of the line soccer stadiums but one somewhat decent american football stadium. If someone could just get permission to replace the soccer field with a football field in one of those stadiums and upload it bam it could go for a top of the line american NFL stadium. grrrrr if only i knew how to do it

Hey guys,

 

So I am all new to this, considering I usually play the newer SimCity, but I was wondering, would anyone be able to recreate more Pittsburgh, PA buildings? A long while ago someone made the US Steel building (), but considering that UPMC bought the building a few years ago, its outdated due to a new sig being put on it. Besides, only 3 buildings were made and I really want to see the PPG Place building added, and more buildings in the city. I know someone asked last decade, but it's been a while, and lately, I've been really getting into modded SC4.

If this is a building request, you may get a better response in the This one's specifically for lotting ideas which use existing models / props.

If the texture you select in the LE does not appear on your lots then one of two things is happening, either the texture is being overridden by another that loads later in your full plugins or it is a multi-wealth texture. For example the original Maxis Sidewalk textures are multi-wealth and this means they will adapt to show the wealth that matches the wealth/density of it's surroundings. This behavior can be controlled by copying the texture to a new TGI (ID) and making sure this replacement is not multi-wealth.

There are already mods for the rail, are you using the RRW yet?, if so install RVT's RUM for RRW package and use the base texture file "A0 - Transparent Earth". Actually RUM is great for all RRW users, I'd highly recommend it.

Otherwise you can use PEG's 205 Rail Mod, this also removes all the sidewalk textures. Do note that the same texture used under rail is also used as the "sidewalk" next to farms, so when you install such a mod you will have transparency next to farms also.

Would it be possible for someone to retexture the monorail shops for elevated HSR?

Hey! I'm wondering if someone could make a proper trailer park using existing mobile homes on the STEX? I think a proper updated trailer park is something that's been missing over the years.
