First, sorry to hear of your loss, that is difficult.

I love all your work, thanks for the efforts.

Have you looked at "model tweaker"? Perhaps you could resize the BATs so you can use them?

Cheers, Tiger

Thank you for your kind words.

The model tweaker is something I've used personally, but for community lots its hard to justify because not everyone can enlarge models. Plus, some buildings are props which makes it twice as hard to enlarge.

[tigerbuilder 131]

It shouldn't matter whether its a prop. You are tweaking the .sc4model itself. Then you make new exemplars and lot. You refer to the original model as a dependency because the FSH files are needed so you are not violating "rules" of copying. This is a way to do the scaling for downloaders, they don't have to do it themselves.

Just an idea for you...it's a shame you would leave a good BAT out if it could be fixed.

Cheers, Tiger

[RRetail 7,906]

So, in other words, I would be ok to upload the changed model file (after having been tweaked) as part of the download as long as it has the original model listed as a dependency? This uncertainty is why I've shyed away from using scale changes. 

The other thing is of course that resolution becomes iffy upon changing a BAT's size, which is something I'd like to avoid.

And yes I have issues with enlarging or decreasing the size for props.

As far as I understand, yes you can do it. Here are some discussions I found quickly that explain it. PMing a mod here would surely clarify it.

I hear you about the resolution issue, but the examples you used above didn't seem too drastic of scale factor. I guess you would have to try them and see how they turn out.

I don't know. I guess I'm not that comfortable treading into questionable waters. I'll likely avoid the headaches and avoid it altogether. I do appreciate your suggestion though!

[RRetail 7,906]

I know things have been silent lately, but that is because of STEX issues. No need to worry though. Once the issues are fixed, I have two new Commercial Relots packs as well as a plaza pack. Still working on finishing a second plaza pack. Will still try to spread them out over time though.

[RRetail 7,906]

Enjoy!

[RRetail 7,906]

Only fair that Walmart gets a little town styled plaza.

[RRetail 7,906]

Officially clearing out my projects with these packs! Enjoy all of them!

[RRetail 7,906]

If anyone has some suggestions as to what I should relot next, please feel free to comment.

Stadiums?

Not a bad idea. I may just do that. Thank you.

Maybe to go with the idear @airman15 had over here. I could provide a version of the airplane model I made for one of my farmlots.

Also a modular zoo with use of jenxfauna is still on my list.

Also motorway service areas for overland (not inner city) to use with RHW and big parking areas and picknick tables etc. are still on my list:

 

Also modular - each side of the highway a separate lot

 

Also a new approach to streetside parking with nos17 textures (essentials) is still on my list.

 

If you would help me to get my stillwishtodolist shorter Iwould be really glad.

Wow. Those are some great ideas, but sadly way beyond my knowledge skill. You'd need to see the NAM team for those road related requests.

I suppose a modular zoo is possible, but just something that I haven't given much thought about.

I'm not to familiar with doing an airport based scene, so I feel someone else would do a much better job than I could.

[RRetail 7,906]

So, it would appear that another miscellaneous pack is in the works. A mix of sport-related entertainment (plus a bonus BLAM Chuck E Cheese) will come rather soon. Here's a peak at the pools.

Your sports team now has a relotted home.

Also be sure to check out Restaurant Relots Pack Nine for two new relots. Big thanks to @nos.17 for his help.

[RRetail 7,906]

Anyone know why the misc entertainment pack two is not downloading? I've done nothing different than I would of before. I assume it is an issue with the website?

I get an error message for it....

RRetail, I would like to see a relot of the Maxis reward building, the State Fair. Which I forgot to mention when you were doing Maxis relots. It can be implemented into another entertainment relot pack if possible.

What would you like to see changed about it? Add parking?

[citybuilder234 37]

Yes.

[AsimPika3172 1,136]

Nice Highway rest stop! Also, this one!

Ok, though it may not be right away.

[RRetail 7,906]

@citybuilder234 You might want to take another look at misc. entertainment pack two.  

[RRetail 7,906]

I'm open to suggestions. Not a lot of ideas flowing for me at the moment.

Maybe another mall relot? 

[RRetail 7,906]

Another mall relot is something I've been messing around with on the side. It's been a little frustrating though because props disappear for some reason and I'm nowhere near the prop limit.  

[RRetail 7,906]

An obvious correction needs to be fixed, but you get the idea.

[citybuilder234 37]

What shopping mall mod is that?

BLAM's Park Place Mall and some other props from others
