Hi guys,

I made a few screenshots of SC3K buildings as a reference (create for the SC3K to SC4 Bday BAT Project).

Feel free to add your own.

I love this post ... something dead. but it motivates me since it reminds me of those years when I was playing SC300. 

Ido not know anyone noticed, but here are some facts:

*Maxi Teatre / El Capitán Teatre, Hollywood

*Palazzo Apartament / I 99% is Hotel in San Francisco... 

Good Night

(And sorry for my english)

I actually took screenshots of almost every single SC3KU building across all styles, with the exception of little junk lots and stuff, with 4 views each. I did it to model them to Cities: Skylines, but it could be used for other projects. Perhaps I can dig up the archive and upload it somewhere...

    That would be great! There isn't a good reference of SC3K buildings online anywhere at the moment. This could be it. I suggest postimage.org as image host platform, free and easy to use

    In case y'all would want these, I have 10,000+ buildings from the old EA Building Exchange. It's the .bld files rather than images. The zip file is 650 mb and I'd just toss it on WeTransfer.com which gives a temporary, one week linky for the download. Let me know if you want a copy of the zip file.

    Are you series?  You have any from a creator named Scatterbones or Innovator2k4?  There should be at least a few dozen.

    Having Windoze search thru the HTML files I saved, I don't find either name. I'd originally saved them as Firefox single file archives which the Quantum release borked. It did offer to convert them and I did that tho I'm not sure of the integrity. If you know the actual file name(s) that'd be the only real way I could tell.

    Here's the list of 10,403 files I have: Bld_Names_List.txt

    Omigosh, you actually have all the ones I had long ago uploaded:

    Bullock's Wilshire, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Matsumoto Castle, Sony Tower, State Highway Building

    That was long ago in a previous century.  Even in a previous millennium!

    __________

    By the way, the Stoclet Apartments is based off the Palais Stoclet, a grand private mansion in Brussels.  I'm sure the artists and architects of the Vienna Secession, already then at the cutting edge of design and modernism, never imagined that one of their avant-guarde houses would end up in a SimCity video game a century later.

    If y'all want a copy of the zip file with all of them just let me know. I've put it up 3 times before as peeps become aware I have it. (I've used the WeTransfer site and it works well.)


    Edit:

    The 651 MB archive can now be downloaded here:

    All extant buildings from the old EA Exchange
