Good morning and welcome in my BAT thread.

In this thread, you will see my different creations for sim city 4.

I haven't a specific style of BATs, perhaps I like to bat some commercial BATs (for Suburban malls or Commercial aera. I also really like the English and Breton style of the Fifties and Sixties.

I'm also form part to the TSC team since 3 years now, so if my bat have the TSC logo, it's normal.

Projects:

Kermahonnet( a small countryside house built during the fifties): finished

C.G.C ( Store that sells heating equipments (electric radiators etc ...) and gas): finished

Garage Kermoguer ( A small car repair): finished

Le boulevard ( a pub and a newspaper agency) : not started

AXA insurance agency ( a French insurance agency): not started

Boucherie M.Baunard ( a French butcher): not started

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- The first BAT that I make is a small countryside house built during the fifties:

The alone problem with the house is the skylight that is too small in order to be seen

Besides, in addition of the house, I have also made a garage:

I exported the garage to see if it wasn't too small, and as you can see, It's enough wide to "allow" pass a Simcity 4's cars like the Orange, CP , Heblem and Mikeseith's cars

The red car is the C.P.'s car

The green car is the Orange's car

The black car is the LBT's car

The orange car is the Mikeseith's car

- The second BAT is the C.G.C which means Chauffage et Gaz de Cornouailles, in french and Heating and Gaz of Cornouailles in english.The store sells gas ( in bottled), but mainly radiators and other items for heating.

- Finally, the third and last BAT is a small car repair, called Garage Kermoguer, to go with my store and to fill in the space wich would have in the LOT.

And a photomonatge to give you an idea of ​​the two bats together.

Your opinions ?

My Opinion: Its very very beautiful , And the garage should be assembled with the "Chauffage et Gaz de Cornouailles" BAT

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Lovely buildings you have.

[TowerDude 2,186]

those are nice houses you have mon ami !

[Francis90b 748]

Your models are really good looking.

The only thing i'm not convinced about is the flashing ridge on the top of the roof...why is it red?

[Ceafus 88 1,794]

I'm glad to see you opened a BAT thread, your houses look great, and so does your garage.

[vivydu29 60]

Supermec: Thank you for your comment

Aaron Graham: Thank you

TowerDude: Merci pour ton commentaire

Francis90B: Thank you

For the ridgepole, It was red because the real bat have a ridgepole in this colour.

Frex_Ceafus: Thank you

Update of the 15/07/11

A lot of new things today:

> Kermahonnet:

The Bat was exported and the Lot have done (there is 5 lots):

+ a night view in-game:

So, I have just to make the read-me and the BAT can be uploaded.

> Garage Kermoguer:

The Bat is also export and the lot is also done:

It is a CS$

>Boucherie Baunard:

This Shop is a butcher and it is a W2W Corner. The buildings was built during the fifities and it's a exemple of the Britton Urban Shops built between 1950 and 1960:

I don't made lights inside the Butcher because I have a bug that I can not fix, so I prefer to leave it like that. This BAT is nearly finished, since I have just to ended the terrace

> Roc Bihan

The last Bat that I start is a house for your the $$ and $$$ sims. The stye of the house is called Neo-breton because the architects of these type of house take theirs inspirations of the Stone house and others Britton Penty built during the XIX century and during the first part of the XX century. These type architecture was very popular between 1965 and 1990 and there is a lot of houses like this in Brittany:

As you can see, there are 2 version of the BATs. The first is an orthogonal version and the second is an diagonal version. This will allow me more freedom and more possibility when I would make the lots.

This BAT is the first of a long series of Breton houses (20 overall) that I hope finish before Christmas.

[Spike345 20]

Hey, amazing stuff here. I especially like the butcher shop! any plans to release soon?

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Looks great so far!

[Francis90b 748]

Looking good so far .

I really like all of the commercial buildings.

[supremec 77]

Hi Vivy, an Happy Birthday

Very good BATs

[Jasoncw 11,840]

They're looking great!

[abstynent 117]

Hello. I looked pretty carefully this thread and I must admit that BAT's look great. Very nice houses. In addition, LOT's also look great. Waiting for new projects and wish you endurance.

Happy new year simtropolis and thank you everybody for your comments.

The time passes (thank you the french high school and his schedules x-x) but still I haven't stopped the bat. Since the 20 July, I have finished to lot the C.G.C, Roc Bihan + two other Bats and one Lot. You can see that I haven't lost my time. ^^

Upload of the 15/02/2012

> C.G.C

+ an night view

The bat is a CS$$ and is available in 3 three lots.

The first is a lot of 2 * 2 for village, with a garden for the managers and a small backyard whith some boxes as gas cylinders (and gasoline).

The second is an urban version of the 2 * 2 with the disappearance of the garden in favor of a larger back yard with a direct access to the street.

the third version is a bigger lot (2 * 3) and a mix of the two versions. There is a garden too, but also a much bigger backyard. That's a lot for mid-sized cities.

> 60's Debenhams Departement Store

So here is a relotted version of GaryReggae's Debenhams, available in his prop pack on the LEX.

This store is very common in England, but may be used as shopping arcade for your city, because this type of BAT, built in the 60s, is quite common in our urban center.

Some pictures:

It's also a CS$$ with a lot is 6 * 7, which is quite big. I had a little problem for the backyard because the LODs's BAT aren't really great.

> 63-64 Avenue de la France Libre, Quimper

The 63 Avenue de la France Libre are two old houses that were in ruins. They were destroyed last week to be replace by a school. So I decided to bat them for restored them , although again I deliberately keep the dirty side:

The 64 Avenue de la France libre was a garage (or an established of the school next it), which was demolished with the house.

I decided to keep the dirty side and a little run down for more realism. The Garage can be used both in town and in rural aera

> Roc Bihan

His lotting is finsihed and is ready to be upload. The Bat have 8 lots (4 in R$$ and 3 in R$$$), inspired of Britton's gardens.

Here two lots in 2 * 2, for your suburban:

Then the lot 2 * 3, also for the urban focus, but with a larger garden(I can see it in a village or in a less dense urban areas):

A lot in 3 * 2, also for suburban:

A lot in 3 * 3:

A lot 3 * 4, with a garden inspired by those found along South Britain:

A lot 4 * 4, with its own park (I was inspired by the gardens of houses along the Aven ( a britton's river))

And finally a 4 * 5 lot, more large, with a pool and a park. The lot is inspired by a garden of a house next to my house)

I hope you will like it.

Really stuning! les textures des toits sont particulierement reussis! Bravo!

[harishna 847]

Really nice I particularly like the department store

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Lovely work here.

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Wow, so much great stuff!

My only suggestion concerns the first building, C.G.C. - the railing on that terrace looks a bit too bright white; it stands out a bit too much, I think.

Apart from that, everything is to drool over.

[Montcalm 1]

Hi,

Came across your thread on TSC this morning. Had a delightfull time reading it. Find you here again. This time I thought I drop a little comment. Your style remind me of Spa's Halifax residentials. As for quality and the lots. Not to mention that one can surely find matches between Bretagne and Nova-Scotia at least with landscapes. Also, the choice to render tiny bats should always be valueted for the poetry of the genre.

Hope to see these treats realised quite soon.

[vivydu29 60]

Thank you everybody for your comments, it's a pleasure for me to see that you appreciate my BATs.

T Wrecks: I agree that fences are a little too clean, however, I didn't find a texture that had a better render, so I decided to keep them as.

Montcalm: Thank you for your comments, I very appreciate.

The BATs will normally be set to download the next weekend.

Update of 20/02/12

I have three new things today:

> Boucherie Baunard

After long hesitation, I decided to keep the terrace as such, because I could not find suitable plants. So I hope that it will not seem too empty.

The download will consist of 4 lots in $$ and will be in Commercial Service.

Here 2 lots in 1 * 2, one with a small garden and the other with a backyard.

And 2 other lots in 1 * 3, again one with a small garden and the other with a back yard:

> Bourse de l'immobilier

This is a very old BAT (Made 3 years ago) inspired by a real estate agency in Brest.

The BAT is designed to your Suburban and the download will consist of 5 lots, all in CS$$.

The lot in 1 * 2

Two lots in 1 * 3, one with a larger parking and the other with a back yard:

A lot in 1 * 4, with a backyard and parking:

A lot in 2 * 2:

And for finish, an ingame night view.

> Kervescar:

The BAT is in R$ and the download is declined in 4 LOTs

The lot in 2 * 1, simple, with a small garden:

two versions of the LOT in 2 * 2:

- One more rural:

- And the other, more urban:

And finally the lot in 3 * 1, which respects most closelythe BAT and his land before its destruction:

I hope you will like it.

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

You have some great buildings there. I'm just wondering if they will ever be available on the STEX

[Spike345 20]

You have done an amazing job here! Have these been released yet? if so, where do we find them?
