These are all buildings in my home town.
 
I was just wondering if anyone could recreate them as BAT files to incorporate into the game? I think like some of the buildings on Screwballs thread, that they would look good in a smaller town or city.
 
I can add more pics if needed.

Hi again ....and here is a pic of a tank farm with solid roofs instead of 'floating' roofs and check out this site for more inspirations for refinery and chemical complexes http://www.photovault.com/Link/Industry/ProcessingRawMaterials/Oil/IPOVolume02.html Again thanks Steve

How about this?

Hi I got that ..yes 31.gif..nice item and only growable...Also in the refineries I have seen there would be maximum 6 of them bunched together and as far from the main plant as possible on their property...usually got the high end distillates in them...I also found a large tank on one of the Japanese sites that acts like a water source...but its not very well rendered..kinda fuzzy...

What Im asking for is what I have shown in the pics I put in my original post...done in the crisp clean quality that you amazing batters have been submitting...keep up the great work..Thanks Steve 9.gif

Any BAT-ers from or been to New Orleans? Have you seen the Mardi Gras Fountain? It's not really too spectacular by day, but at night it is amazing (or it was to me when I was a small child).
Day:
http://www.bnhof.de/~ho2022/USA/LakeP/lakep_0003.jpg
Night:
http://www.ashleighaustin.com/mardi_gras25.html
http://www.ashleighaustin.com/mardi_gras26.html
Maybe those of you who live in New Orleans or have been there and have pictures have a better shot of it. I searched the Net, and couldn't really find any good pictures. At night, the fountain is lit with many different colored lights, and these lights change colors as the water height changes.
If anyone wants a colored light night BAT challenge, here it is!

I would like to see these buildings:

Citigroup Center, NY: http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=114152
Westin Times Square, NY: http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=100379
Torre Cuscatlan , San Salvador, El Salvador: http://www.emporis.com/en/il/im/?id=180355

The best ones in the game would be the Citigroup Center and the Westin. They would look awesome!

Under the thread: Operation Buffalo Wing:  A Blizzard of BAT. I noticed in the chart of possible future BAT projects that Albany, NY was listed with the plaza and its buildings in there. being my hometown, I was wondering if anyone is interesting in picking up and creating those buildings. for some inspiration here are some picts of the plaza and surrounding area.........
 
/idealbb/files/IMG_1960_resize.JPGhttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files/IMG_1960_resize.JPG width=800 border=0>
 
(above)the plaza (left: 4 office buildings, center: 2 reflection pools with fountains, front, back: leg building with other govt buildings, right back: the egg, right forward: part of the corning tower.)

I've got a request that is essential to the sanity of our sims.  Our Sims in our cities need a place to go where they can find the latest dance tracks, albums, and DJ's can keep up to date with thier passion in order to keep the parties in our cities moving!  We need a DJ Central here at simtropolis' LEX.  Somebody please give it a shot!  And please use the logo!

Hi,
this was probably requested before, but i did try and search and didnt find too much about it so dont be mad at me 12.gif.

I would to request a large hospital (should probably be 4x4 or 4x5 or 5x5 or 6x6) that will be for major urban areas, it should have capcity of 10000 sims and should probably cost just about 2.5 then today's hospital (ring area should be just a little bigger).

There are a couple of bat hospitals in the exchage but i'm sorry they are not too realistic in my view, and i would realy like to have one that is a bat and not a mix of made in the lot editor only (cause i didnt like those too much because even the good ones still looked looked like building put together and not a pre-designed concept).

if there are things i can do (testing, suggestions, small art stuff or whatever please inform me ...) we might also open a new thread if there will be some 'action' in this

thanks44.gif

Here is my request:

Central Station in Sydney.
632.jpg
633.jpg

Platforms 1-15 have tracks which terminate at the station. Platforms 16-23 have tracks which continue from the Redfern (southern end) end to the City Circle (northen end). Platforms 24 and 25 are located underground directly beneath the above ground platforms. No more capacity problems with stations with only 2 or 4 platforms.

The current University occupies a very large area, and is in those 'old' style of architecture.

A modern, highrise university tower which has a small base area (5 by 5, perhaps?)would do very nicely for the land-scarced and land-expensive modern city.A modern styled tower of perhaps 20-30 floors would do nicely.

Can someone do it with BAT?Thanks.

What I think we really need is a new cruise ship port. The old one looks nothing like true, real cruise ship ports. Does anyone think they can do this? Also, is it possible to make the cruise ships so they actually leave the city and don't dissappear like 5 seconds after leaving port?

the problem is with growable the w2w effect isnt so good since other buildings will grow too, the problem with ploppables is that they dont function properly so you cant really depend on them to make a city.

I don't agree with you frogface on that point, because Co ploppables ARE working , Res-ploppables aren't
 
Point 2 : I downloaded MANY w-t-w buildings and all with all they are appearing beautifu lin the game. I think the paris rowhouses(made by xannepan) would be great as Co-plopables or Res-growables. Amd if the effect isn't nice you can destroy non-paris rowhouses if you know what i mean.

I think modern skyscrapers are great to make, such as the rotterdam proposal and the eastern harbour lowrise in amsterdam, and more 70's european housing prjects, like de bijlmer in Amsterdam and pieces of St Denis In Paris.

visit this site to see the amsterdam harbour lowrise, very nice!

there are some others on the list that you did not cross out, like burger king and bob evans. I think there is enough of these, so lets focus on suburban housing.

Is anyone planning on constructing this wonderful building? I'm sure it would be quite a complex BAT, at ground level it has a square cross-section, and it tapers to a line at the top, meaning no two floors have the same plan. Would love to see it realised.
