Another request.

This one is pretty special to the person who requested it.

In 2016, 49 innocent people were massacred by a lunatic in the pulse nightclub in Orlando.

A memorial was slated to be built next year (which will probably be delayed given the impending economic depression). The proposed memorial includes a tall, caged open air tower/museum on one city block and a semi-circular contemplation area around the actual nightclub several city blocks away. Because it spans several blocks, that makes it quite niche to broadly represent in SC4, so I have scaled the entire thing back and included it on one lot. 

Somber by day......

....'Fabulous' by night.

@mattb325 incredible tribute to the LGBTQ community. maybe BAT of the year.

[Andrey km 304]

I'm almost 11 years in the community and i think we can call @mattb325 the GOAT on the BATting scene. High quality as always, keep it up dude!

[dubaidude303 1,126]

@mattb325 Omg! Those nightlights! What a wonderful tribute to the LGBTQ community! Stunning!

Fantastic, you did on Photoshop?

Thanks, I'll try it. I've made one using an online vector program, but I'm looking for better results. This one is of the tram system of my capital city.

Building 3 of 5 of the Museum of Work.
The greatest of all. 10x4. The so-called "old factory".

[Krasner 1,062]

@WolfZe Excellent, I'm looking forward for these inspiring buildings
Btw, I've been doing some more re-lots for personal use recently and I've often noticed something with your stuff, I'me having difficulties with placing props near them, and it overlaps with it on quite a wide area. I don't know if this is only the case with older stuff from you, but that's a LOD issue (the LODs, the "true" invisible footprint of the building being in this case much larger than the building that shows up in-game). But it's possible to make thinner LODs (and therefor, more lotting-friendly) Just wondered if you were aware of this, if you are sorry then

Thanks for the tip, I wasn't really aware of it.
Since I almost never LOT myself.
I only create models and hardly play myself.
Since (almost) all of my uploads always include the model file, this shouldn't be a problem, just create the building again in SC4PIM.
The models themselves are not actually built for SimCity and therefore only a "waste product".
But I'll try ...

The LODs are part of the BAT itself, I highly doubt he'll be able to modify them himself...

It is my second attempt of creation Brick Manufactures on Santana Island. 

This is OP4 Big Brick Oven:

Thanks....

And if not he has to live with it ... so what

That severely limits how people can customize your buildings? But I guess you don't care to see people actually use your stuff then.

Very well recognized. Topic ended.

[Silur 3,308]

I think that I can change any objects for my cities using Photoshop. But I will never post it for the general public as a model or dependency. If someone is seriously interested in playing SC4, he can do a lot. You can study, but you can write to the site and demand the creation of an Interplanetary Lift to Mars.

I can only use this for my log as this object named 01NK-SHED - Brick Sheds RT - PROPS:

(I always use the letters of authors for internal use !!! - OP4, JENX, KsPD and etc.).

And I try to express my gratitude to the authors of the models in my journal: SANTANA ISLAND - Traditions die hard - CJl.

Thanks

The LODs footprint is part of the model file, I've been making bats myself for long enough to know that You can't modify that after the export.

Well --

Two days after I posted my last batch of pictures -- my motherboard went south on me !!  I've either got the worst luck, or "The Gods" are trying to tell me to stop playing SC4 !

With these pictures, we are moving north along the east side of the island, checking out the attractions and the marinas as we go.

This is a shot of the Intermediate Yacht Basin -- located between the lower basin and the Main Basin East -- sort of a public parking spot for visitors who don't rent a slip.

 

Here we have the Major League Stadium Complex -- with a cozy park and plenty of parking on the west side -- a large food court on the south side with an overlook of the lower basin -- and a small park on the east side with an overlook of the Intermediate basin.  Not a bad way to spend a weekend afternoon -- even if you don't score a ticket to the game !

 

Note the statue dedicated to the Baseball Commissioner in the east overlook......

 

The next four shots move from south to north along the boat slips and piers of the Main Yacht Basin East.  These are all from the old PEG marina sets with the odd NBVC sailboat mucking about trying to get out of the basin.

Wow! You never cease to amaze Matt, I'm ecstatic about this apartment, Couldn't wait to live in there, I learnt more about that word 'less is more' from your works. Thank you!

Yours Sincerely,

I always love your apartments! They are the best! They look so realistic. Can’t wait to add these to the others you have created! Great work!

[Dreadnought 8,231]

@mattb325

Yet another TRIUMPH !!

Cozy -- well landscaped -- with just enough of that "lived-in" look.

AND -- as always -- your night lighting is absolutely SUPERB !

[Krisman 4,652]

With the whole Corona thing going on, I've decided to tackle a big ticket item when it comes to city building:
an airport

First phase: some approach lights and the all important fuel depot.
