Official BAT Request Thread

[p2h5 3]

The Kongre

[edcase2k4-thugangel1983 1]

i have a semi-sized request for custom content. if anyone is interested in working on this, please post here! i have no idea how to do most the things so i wouldn't take no credit - except for the idea

 

i know there probably already is a log cabin available on the STEX; and there is the possibly that a creator of such a cabin would not mind the model being used for this idea - but i would like a modification made to the lot:

 

- i would want the cabin to be buffed right up against the front of its lot

 

- i'm sure this must be possible; i would like the cabin to NOT flatten the city tile it is plopped onto, but i would like it to still place on a flat level - inline with the front of the lot. so basically, relative to the gradient on that city tile - an amount of the cabin will be out of view under the terrain; but the front of the cabin (which is right up against the front of the lot) will be visible completely, from roof to floor.... the side of the cabin would look like it is built into the slope.... and the back of the cabin will either be, i) out of view, under the terrain, or ii) if the cabin is taller than the terrain's gradient difference between the back and front of the cabin, then part of the back will be visible but it won't be as tall as the front of the cabin

 

i hope my request is understoof and all that is required really is the cabin; the lot with the cabin buffed to the front; (if possible) the properties modified so that is does not flatten the terrain it is plopped on

 

can this be done? and is anyone interested in creating this?

 

-----------------

 

other extra additions i would like to see are different styles and bigger cabins; and a version which can be placed on waterfront, overhanging the water with the cabin's boardwalk porch... also a diagonal version which has the corner of the cabin also buffed up against the front of the lot

 

these extra additions though are obviously a secondary request and the first one is the priority

moscow state is a necessity. i really wish there was some russian architecture on the exchange and in general alot more european buildings. it would be a challenge to do for someone but there are plenty of perfect buildings on the exchange and ive seen previews of gare du nord (by the way xannepan it looks perfect cannot wait til its on the exchange) so its do able. can somebody please make this building its so cool looking and i would be so happy if they did

[redwallerfreak 0]

I would really like to see these few buildings made into beautiful BATs, as I am sure many people would like:

-the Palace of Versailles

-St. Peters Square and Cathedral (Vatican)

-Westminster Abbey

-British Parliament

-Windsor Castle

 

These would all make excellent BATs

I'm new to this forum, so please don't hit me too hard.

I've been looking all over the Internet for a building that looks like the Apple Store. I have not found a thing.

I am only wondering if anyone could make one or could find one that is very close to the Apple Store.


I have a picture of the Apple Store from San Francisco.


The reason why I am providing you with so many images is because I can show you as much detail as possible.

Here is another one from Los Angeles.


Here is another picture of the San Francisco Store.


This is a helicopter view of the San Francisco Store.


This is a big image of the San Francisco Store.



Thank you in advance.

I see that some people are asking for the Moscow University, I like that one, but I would also like to request not a full university (as in one BAT or Lot) but something more like... some modules that we can assamble as we see fit.

For example, a BAT for the Admin Office, another one for the Medical Faculty and different one for the law school. Don't forget the stadium which BTW, there are not that many Football stadiums in the STEX (compared to soccer ones), speaking of sports, some arenas or gyms could be added.

Why different modules? well, not all universities are square, we could build them around parks, a riverfront or next to a hill, etc. The possibilities are endless.

[STJmro 1]

I think Sim City could use a smaller more realistic casino.  The casino already in the game is fine for larger cities but not for smaller cities, such as cities situated on an indian reservation.  A casino including a small parking garage and maybe a 4 or 5 story hotel.  I don't know if any of you have ever been to oneida casino in Green Bay, WI but if you have, something like that or very similar.

Help! Need some highway shoulder props made!

 

I've been working on a lower capacity divided highway project for the STEX and am getting closer to developing some lots that will provide shoulders  for the oneway roads used (with no arrows mod) and the latest NAM to make overpasses. The shoulders need to be prop files that will blend in with a Maxis open grass texture and overhang from the lots.

I need a total of three props to be made: one to fit on a 1x1 tile, another to be 2 tiles long and the final one to be 4 tiles long. With these shoulder props I can make a highway lot pack for the STEX that will illiminate sidewalks and allow street lights, hwy signs, billboards and other props to be placed right next to the roads without having sidewalks appear . Under-bridge  effects would also be possible with having such a prop.

 

Below are a couple of pics showing the divided hwy layout and some experiments with a dock surface prop used to create the shoulders:

 

 

 

As you can see this prop covers the sidewalk but is a bit too wide and needs loads of foilage to blend into the grass. The prop is also not long enough to cover the sidewalks on the exit ramps without triggering the Maxis diagonal sidewalks on the ramp. A more suited texture is also desired. I was thinking a lighter colored or grey asphalt would do.

 

I am hoping an experienced prop maker might be able to help me out so I can go forward with the project and make some nice lots for the STEX .

 

If anyone is interested in helping develop these props please respond ~ otherwise I am going have to give up on the project.

 

Thanks,

~MPM

What the world really needs are some buildings from seattle; like monerail stations like hte one's in seattle. Or a space needle, or the emp. Washingtos State Ferry based ferry docks would be kickin', too. Another cool Idea would be old wharehouse style peers that have been converted into offices and shops for downtown waterfront.

I would make a few myself, but since I have use a mac Maxis won't let me register on their website to download BAT

PS. If anyone has any possible solutions I would love to hear them, thegodfather@gladysrock.com. I do have virtual PC, so if I got a copy of BAT I would be able to run it.

MasterPlanMan: Would this help you?

This is a quick and dirty throw down of a 1x4 tile grassy berm with guardrails on either side. I was also thinking that with this another guardrail on the other side of the road could be batted together with this so one does not lose a full tile on a guardrail piece for the other shoulder.

I would just like to say that there are far toooooooo many American Landmarks in SimCity 4. I think we need more Landmarks from: Australia, Asia, Europe, Canada and Russia. Please Here me out .

Examples:

Rialto Tower, Melbourne, Australia

Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne, Australia

Eureka Tower, Melbourne, Australia

Sydney Opera House, Sydney, Australia

Uluru (Ayers Rock), Outback, Australia

Shanghai Tower, Shanghai, China

Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia

Stonehenge, UK

Colleseum, Rome, Italy

Dutch Windmills, Netherlands

 

Can anyone here suggest anymore Non-American Landmarks .

[ryan04 3]

@Power_Fan alot of those are already avilble, look on the STEX for

Shanghai Tower, Shanghai, China

Colleseum, Rome, Italy

 

 

on SimCity.com you can find Stonehenge, UK

 

also Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne, Australia Sydney Opera House, Sydney, Australia, are being BATed

 

and Ayers rock is a landfrom not a building i am sure you can make it in the game just fine the right texture and make it like the snow tiles on the STEX

I know somebody already started work on the London Eye (or Millenium Wheel - whatever you want to call it). What's the crack with this at the moment? Is anyone working on it? Does anybody intend to finish it off? I know it's a real hard and tricky one, but with the talent we've got here is it not possile to finish the London Eye?

[Megalopolis 0]

El over road station that actually worked and took up only one or two squares and could be placed over T and regular intersections.  (I.E: Chicago)

I think that you can download it off here as a model, but i don't think it has been rendered yet or put on a lot, or animated.  That would probably be the hardest, or impossible thing, - to animate it so it actually turned.
