[Armandeus 7]

A few new lots were added at Sim City Force.

First, a Gum Disease Research Facility.

Download here . It gives 250 jobs, is a landmark, and has no hospital effect.

Next, Matsuya, a chain restaurant in Japan (they don't have them where I live, though).

There are two landmark versions and a commercial growable in the LZH download, here .

Finally, the Tokyo Headquarters of Schaft Enterprises, Japan, a landmark from the Japanese comic, Patlabor .

Get it here .

Also, the naval lots pictured at the top and bottom of this page (the subs and the supply ships) are new as of June 12th. Click the pictures to download.

I can't upload or alter them because they are not my property. A couple of the Japanese lot makers come to this site, and all of them know of it and how to upload; if they want their lots translated and uploaded they are capable of doing it themselves. If I started uploading Peg's or Grampa Al's lots with my alterations on my own initiative, I would be accused of plagiarism, theft, etc.

A new lot to be found at http://www1.megaegg.ne.jp/~tokitoko/index02.html

 

 

Some kind of a carferry - but it has a militaristic look. I (or rather Babelfish) can't make anything out of the accompanying text - maybe Armandeus can give us a clue?

You beat me to it. I just found that this morning.

A clue? You mean you don't want me to come out and tell you exactly?

It's a combination car ferry, train station, and bus stop with a capacity of 4000 sims. The design is based off the Japanese animated series, Gundam. However, other than the big 25, there are no logos, so if the Gundam part bothers you you can ignore it, I suppose.

You can download it from the page you mentioned.

 

[nosoupforyou 9]

I cant download it, nothing happens when i click download.

oh, and i must admit, the japanese are much better at BAT than us americans.

[timotheus4 39]

Can someone not put these on our exchange?

No.   We cannot.  However, a few of the JP BATters come and post stuff sometimes.

EDIT:  IMO, they are quite good with their quality, but their styles are vastly different.  And MASHER, please do not call them japs.  They may find that offensive.

[nosoupforyou 9]

masher..

Whats wrong with robots?

robots are cool!

[DuskTrooper 316]

Robots are cool!

[masher 3]

You are right DT sorry any offended japanese BATter

Now What's Wrong with robots?

well they look bad anywhere you put them i only use them once in a theme park i built based on that

but they are cool i mean well done very detailed and stuff but sadly almost useless...unless you want a giant robot to take care of your sims

[Tunafish 48]

It's on now masher, you just called me a jap! I'm a proud japanese american citizen!

 

j/k, no offense taken, but although it doesn't affend me it might offend other japanese people, especially ones living in japan!

[Smurfer2 7]

I'm still not sure how to download the harbors. I get on the site, but I can't find a download link.

 

Is Jap like the g and n words that are used to describe people? I never use them and if it is, it will go on my list of words I don't use. (yes, it's a mental list)

[masher 3]

BigRedFish:

Tunafish: I'm sorry and i apologize again

Smurfer2: I guess it goes way back to the ww2 and it might be as offensive as the N word i didn't know that i just did a lil research in my history booksi never paid attention in classes

And what's the g word?

[Tunafish 48]

I think it's for hispanics, i'm not sure though

[masher 3]

Isn't wet backor Paisas for hispanics?

Anyway let's not get off topic and could someone tell me where to get the millenium tower? cuz i tried the link armadeus gave us but it doesn't work!

Okay, buddy, first off, you're wrong, and second, stucked is not a word I am familiar with.  What is more important than details?  Why do you think Cobb32118 is half this site's favorite BATter (I know he's my fav, at least, on this site)?  DETAILS.  What exactly does the whole robots theme have to do with the VAST MAJORITY of these lots, anyhow?  NOTHING.  NOTHING AT ALL.  Other than the occasional lot with the Gundams or whatnot (of which I have a couple, they are really masterful), none of these have any visible reference to robots or anything else, and for that I ... really don't care.  Be careful what you say, especially if it's ignorant and false.

[masher 3]

OK!!what's wrong with you man?.........

1)I might be bad writting but you suck reading!!!!! the one that said japanese BATters were better than americans was nosoupforyou what i said was the japanese put more details it their creations(And cobb is my favorite BATter too he's doing things that fits everybody's tastes not only his)

2)And C'mon tell me how can a robot be usefull in real cities?.......

3)If you like them ok........

4)and if you are japanese and got offended with the jap thing i've apoligized like 2 time already and if that was not enough i'll do it again:

I'm so so so sorry for calling japs to the japanese people i didn't know that it was an offensive word DT told me it was and i checked some of my old history books and i found out why.....So again sorry.

 

[Equinox 1,218]

Okay, LOL ... you blew this way out of proportion.  I noticed that the way the IdealBB misquoted your post was all screwed up and I guess I took my comments and directed them at the wrong people, but I didn't have time to fix it and was just coming back to edit my post when I saw one below it and bothered reading it ... my goodness, somebody got upset at my getting upset!    First and foremost, I don't care about you calling anybody Japs -- many a time I have been too lazy to type out Japanese so I used that.  Somebody got offended but I explained to them that rather than being a racist term, it was now a term used by highly lazy people.  The thought of me being racist against the Japanese makes anybody who knows me burst out laughing, trust me. 

 

BTW ... you say robots have no usefulness in a city, basically ... I'm here to tell you that a whole ... LARGE AMOUNT of stuff on the Exchanges here have no usefulness or practicality, yet they get high ratings ... useless landmarks and nothing else with no elements of customization drive me NUTS.  I fix SO many of the lots I get to add that sort of thing, so don't even go there. 

 

 

EDIT: Sorry 'bout that.  I guess I jumped on the gun there.

I just tried seconds ago, and it worked for me. Here's the direct link to the ferry station thingie: http://www1.megaegg.ne.jp/~tokitoko/ZEONcarferry.zip

 

As for the Millenium Tower, Masher, I'm sorry, but that's the only link I know of. I even Googled it and came up with nothing. Maybe a British BATter here might like to give a shot at making a new version of it. The tower is in England, right?

 

Smurfer2, exactly which harbors are you talking about? If you could give me a URL, I might be able to help. Did you try clicking on the pictures?

 

Off topic: BigRedFish, nice to see you here. I like the terrain leveling mod you refined a lot, but I had to remove it because it was very strict and I couldn't build railroads and bridges anymore. Would you mind making a mod that has settings halfway between the defaults and the settings in that first mod?

 

I suppose you could be positive that no-one would get offended, Equinox, if you added a period at the end of Jap. like so, when you are feeling lazy. It shows that it is an abbreviation. But anyway, let's all be nice here.

Hehe, yep, I need to click on the picture. Thanks Armandeus.

Off Topic:

Masher: The g word describes Vietnamese people and I guess it could describe asians in general.

Yeah, Japs was created by American propaganda to describe the Japanese. It's just a shortened form of Japanese.

Equinox: I know you have a real soft spot for Japan. I guess just like I have a soft spot for Britain.

Copy and paste the URL, then go to http://worldlingo.com/products_services/worldlingo_translator.html . It translates for freeby machine, so you can see what they are talking about. Hope this helps-Joe

[Armandeus 7]

There is a pink house available on Sim City Force. The picture is here , and the zip file is here . The creator doesn't say if it is growable or not.

[The_New_Thing 34]

@Armandeus,I live in Britan(London to be exact) and unless I`ve missed something,there is no millenium tower.There is however a millenium dome!To my knowlage,the newest tall building is the Swiss Re(in London at least).There >>>might

[frogface 354]

millenium tower i thought was a proposed building in hong kong? or am i getting confused ?

[VXD 0]

woow very nice creatings overall, but i hate all those japanese textes in my game can somebody change thatbut I think the mine is special cause it's beautifull and all those little pieces mountain, loads of work, but this is the opposite of the most common lotsmaybe its something japanese, very expensive

[nosoupforyou 9]

thanks smurfer, for the link. it worked perfectly, though i had to tweak it a bit due to the japanese DAT file.


oh and sorry if my comment about american batters vs japanese batters offended anyone.

Do you mean this Millennium Tower?

Sometimes the links don't work if the authors Yahoo server they're on gets overloaded, but you need to go here and download the three files called mireniamu.

Its quite confusing, but you need to get all three, then open the DOS Batch file (the last file) and it uses the first two to produce a .cad archive with the files in. WinRAR cracks open this badboy.
