maybe some body could BAT
Old Trafford-Manchester United

[HONG KONG 74]

I saw the zhonghua zutao China Cityblock Pack    

in nearly each CJ, and I asked myself, why nobody makes such a thing.

Such models are useful for almost each CJ, and fit into the European wtw,

into Cinatown's everywhere in the world, and probably also to Asia.

 

Sometime these buildings from the 60's surely will have disappeared, but with them also a feeling is away.

 

Some examples from Hong Kong

For Oppie's Canal Set, I wondered if a something could be made in which the piece is really two pieces, but that one could go under the bridge. If you don't understand please PM me, I need this for my City Journal.Thanks for the help.

Well, this isn't a BAT request, but a LOT request.




Because I am playing on a Mac, I am unable to use the LotEditor. So I hope that some of you might be able and willing to build some lots I need.


The idea is to have another type of lots that can be placed between to one-way roads in order to get a broader and more realistic avenue. I thought of using porkissimo's STREET TREES found here and the great EUROPEAN STREET ACCESSORIES here also by porkissimo.



Here is a sketch of the first lot I would like to be made:





The ground texture for this 1x1 lot should be the same as the high wealth sidewalk texture of the normal roads. I think morifari did a lot pack called 'simple empty lots' which contains one lot with this texture.

The brown circles indicate the location of the trees and the gray box is the symbol for a bench.


Another sketch:





Basically the same idea, only that there is just one tree.


And another one, this time 3x1:





Only the gray circle is new, it should be one of those round colums there people put notes and advertisments.



Well, I think you get the idea. Of course there could be other things, like some poeple, billboards, wasteboxes and so on...

And perhaps it would be good to have the same lots with different trees, it is only me who wants them to have porkissimo's.


I imagine to have some variarity of this avenue filler lots to prevent repetition. But 4 or 5 lots should do the job, I think.



What do you think? Of course it would be great to have these lots on the STEX.

Anyone who wants to join?

I will be willing to complete this request for you. It will be a day or so before I am able to do them for you though...Keep your eyes peeled...

i would like to request the sage to be made as a bat. its a music culture centre built on the gateshead quayside and is quite unique. altho i do believe it might take quite an experienced user of gmax to create it.

Hotels, Motels, and Roadside Inn's

There are several great hotel choices availible such as red's roadside and a days inn and Super 8. I am finding that I have very very few lowrise motel type buildings. Also, why is there no Travelodge??? That is a worldwide known chain. Great job on all the exsisting hotels and motels, everyone of them gets used alot on my main streets and service roads. Perhaps a hotel with an indoor waterslide? That would be exciting!

Also needed are a small town Grocery store, Small town hospital, and small town hotel (3 story old style).

Keep up the amazing Bats!

dev:
Thank you very much for offering you help. But you don't have to make them any more. Kwakelaar already made lots of them and you can see them in action in my CJ Cadott Bay. But there are still some more pieces missing, as I eplained in my CJ. Perhaps you would like to step in for these?

And perhaps you are interested in this one as well.

Please post any answer in my CJ, I will see it sooner there...





BAT Request



You all know, that we have already a lot of very beautiful walls on the STEX. But they all have something in common: The all are sloped. I think it would be great to have a new kind of walls, vertical walls. Here is a picture to explain the situation:



As you can see, there are generally two ways lots behave then plopped. Number 1 is the Maxis Open Pavement, this one adjusts itself to every slope it is plopped on. Number 3 and 4 are two examples of walls that behave the same way.
Now there is another possibility, a lot that builds a foundation and always stays horizontal. One example is number 2, the Maxis Small Park. To get it like in the picture you have to orient the zoning arrow of the lot so that it faces the upper road. Number 5 is one tile of marrast's see walls, it functions like this as well. But it builds a very angled wall that covers the road beneth it.

My idea is to make a new wall, that behaves like the Small Park or like marrast's see walls, just with a vertical wall. Here is a basic sketch:



The wall is a little bit off the tile but thin enough to cover only a very small part of everything that happens to be on the lot next to it.

Of course this wall would look too plain. So I suggest to add some pillars like in this picture:



To get it good looking then plopped in a row, the outer pillars are only half as wide as the inner one. That way two outer pillars of two wall segment will combine to a full pillar. (Is pillar the right word?)

The wall should have some kind of a top piece that extends a little bit over the wall to make it like a real wall, I just didn't put that in the sketch. This wall segment could be the first one to be made and a start to a whole set.

Of course we would need some variation. Here is an idea for a second segment:




And now about the textures. I would like the wall to have the appearance of sand stone. Like the wall of the building shown in this picture:



The texture of the ground could be just like the plazas Kwakelaar did, also highlighted in the above picture.
And I would also suggest to use porkissimo's street trees and benches and other props to fill the top area with life.


This could be the beginning of a great new wall set. I already have many pieces in mind. Examples:
- Straight sections longer than one tile with different props on them.
- A stair piece.
- End pieces and corner pieces.
- Diagonal pieces.
- Sound wall pieces, to be used along busy highways.
- Pieces that have an extension of the top area over the lot border, to partly cover highways under it.
- And many more...


About the height of the wall: It should be high enough to prevent situations there the lot could be plopped on such steep slopes that the wall wouldn't reach the bottom. I would suggest that two times the height of the NAM puzze pieces should be enough.

If the pieces could be made ploppable on water as well (this should be possible), we could use them to build a new kind of see walls as well.



All Batters out there:
What do you think? Do you like the idea? Do you think it would be much work?

I hope that someone in our great community will be able to make this new walls. It surely would be an adittion to our cities worth the effort.


I would like to work on this project for myself, but playing on a Mac, I am not able to use any modding software.



I also posted this request in my CJ Cadott Bay page 8 , please leave comments and suggestions about this new walls there. I will happily post more sketches and write more about my ideas if I get some feedback.

I have searched the STEX and only found 1 little homeless shelter (which is for what appears to be city outskirts. Unfortunately, no homeless shelter appears to exist for inner city populations.  Would it be possible for someone to create some kind of mayor rating effecting lot that will increase city joy and allow the sims who sleep on park benches to find a bed for the night ?

 

Just a mere suggestion.

Hi, first time requester, but long time player.

I've decided to try and make a semi close scale map of the city of Toronto. I've got a number of bats from STEX and the ea site, but I'd like a few more. Here's some pics

I'd like to see the reinessance center in downtown detroit

 

and maybe some other detroit buildings if possible

 

 

I don't really care if the reinessance towers are done indivuadually or as one building, which ever is easier for the creator.

[dmscopio 225]

Need more stadiums! Such as:

[pistolvaniasfinest610 0]

Can someone please build some projects or public housing buildings. I'm trying to build a huge New York- like city and I want to make a ghetto part of town. Kind of like the buildings in this picture of Queensbridge Houses in Queens, NYC.

[AlexNielsen7 2]

If the texture is possible to make at all, I will love to see this sculpture on the STEX.

The Kapoor Sculpture in Millenium Park, Chicago:

 

 

 

 But the great thing is the shiny surface, and if it can't be done,

 the sculpture itself would look like an oversized bean!

 

 So, it's the surface or nothing!

I can't believe noone has made a bat for Q1 yet.

For more info again, it's world's tallest residential tower located in Gold Coast, QLD, Australia an one of most elegant buildings. It fits in any modern skyline expecially near coast.

 

Here are photos of it:

I actually believe someone is either creating it or has already created. Search around in the NDEX area.

Sorry if this has already been said bit, perhaps someone could make a collapsed freeway - just so we can give our big citiesa little bit of a past.
