Could someone make the Daily Planet from the Superman comics? All it would really need to be is a skyscraper with a rotating globe on top. 

Here's a production drawing from the movie:

I love the second version of the Opera House on the STEX: it contours exactly as the real one along a peninsula in SC4.

ANYWAY Main point of my message, I'd love to see the Nottingham Council House from Market Square on the STEX, as well as both versions of Nottingham Castle - the original and the palace that exists today. New Nottingham Citizens would be ever so grateful dear BATters

Hopefully the pics are here, or simply do a Google search...

They are in order: Nottingham Castle Exterior - Palace

Nottingham Castle: model of original building

I really like to play small islands, and one of the problems of playing small islands is trash. Unfortuantely the engine doesn't allow for exporting of trash through the seaports. Recently a thread was started in the General Discussion thread talking about this problem. The available trash incinerators are inadequate, mostly by being too large and polluting. Would someone please do a 1x1 trash incinerator that burns 10-15 tons a month but doesn't produce power, produces a little pollution and costs $30 a month so it stays balanced? It would be nice if the model was one of the 1x1 smoke stacks already available in the heavy industry models so there isn't any dependancies as well. I would really appreciate it. Thanks

I like to use the grass parks for filling in spaces in my city. The default Maxis lot is a highwealth grass with doesn't match a lot of parks and costs an incredible $5 a month to maintain. Would it be possible if someone would do a set of three 1x1 grass tiles; low, medium, and high wealth grass that costs $1, $2, $3 dollars a month respectively? It would be nice to match the grass to the neighborhoods and parks but have it at and affordable price that's a little more reasonable in maintainance fees. Again, I would really appreciate it. Thanks

Old news first:

@brtim: I believe you mean the building that also hosted Six Flags Power Plant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Flags_Power_Plant) or simply "The Power Plant".

@pedsgof: All the SC3K books are in the SC3KUL Prima guide (in the back)

I would love to see San Antonio Riverwalk buildings that can link up with the river (think PEG Ponds).

I'd also like to see a whole lot of Route 66 landmarks.

I'd also like to see swamps.

I'd like to request a railway station with realistic sized platforms! In real life all the platforms I've seen, as well as on Google Earth, are over 140m long which translates to 9 to 10 game tiles, which embarrasses the tiny 4 to 6 tile stations everyone is making now. The only realistic sized platform on a normal 2-platform station I've seen on the STEX is the Underworld Cross Station.

I'm not really asking for something that elaborate, though, and indeed would be happy with just modified stations from Marrast, ill tonkso and frogface (who all seem to have disappeared for whatever reasons), etc. with just having the longer platforms. Though I don't know if 1. that'd be allowed be the community, and 2. if that would even be possible.

Anyway, thanks.

Since I live in Cincinnati and am a Bengals fan, I would like to see Paul Brown Stadium. Thanks.

[shinkansen1 84]

Make a request? Roger Smith's mansion. You may know what it looks like if you watched Big O. Capacity: 3! Growth stage: not too high.

Another one: an affordable elementary school for Trusperaton, same size as large elementary school (think skyscraper), but with the capacity of 5 large elementary schools!

[st louis dude 6]

How about cinergy field?

It would be awesome if someone would BAT the Fillmore Auditorium, from San Francisco. I don't have pics, but you should be able to get some good ones by Google Image searching for "Fillmore Auditorium," or "The Fillmore."

Here's a challenge for you! If I wasn't a complete moron when it comes to BAT-ing I would really give this a try myself.

I want an off shore oil harbour facility. I have used the oil dock by fukuda, and even though it looks very good it is way to small for my purposes and I would also like one or two tankers docking to it (eyecandy only! no automatas!).

What I'm looking for is a docking rig that can be placed fully on the water (much like the lighthouse-on-a-rock-reward) and I want it to be REALLY big. Real life supertankers often messures +350 meters in length and that's the kind of ships I'd like to dock.

I have a pretty big request here. It is an elementary school for Trusperaton. The size of the school should be 3x4 tiles (Trusperaton has 6x9 tile blocks, but there are subway stations, bus stops, libraries, and police stations that may get in your way), but with the capacity of 5 large elementary schools. It would be cool to see this school as a small skyscraper, who said it had to be THAT real? And because of Trusperaton's struggle with making money, a monthly cost of 3 large elementary schools is preferred. I've already found a hospital (Sarah H. Bingham Hospital, found in the STEX) that fits Trusperaton's needs, now all I need is a matching elementary school to go with it.

[Romaq 18]

The Problem:

I'm building a region in a real-life temperate rainforest, the Cascades. Unfortunately, a given BAT may have palm trees when I want Temporate, pine trees for a desert region, or dedicious trees for my pine-forest region. Maybe there is a way to fix this?

I don't know if this one is possible, but I would love to see someone create a 'Climate Control' standard for BATs. http://www.marietta.edu/~biol/biomes/biome_main.htm gives an idea of various biomes. The idea is that someone would select a Biome-*.dat from among the DAT files shipping, 'Biome-Tagia.dat' for example, deleting the other 'Biome-*.dat' files. Once this is in place, BAT builders have a 'default' of flora if the user DOES NOT have the 'Climate Control' package in, but if the Climate Control package *is* in, then it will select flora appropriate to the biome of the region. I would really love it if PEG's seasonal trees were available... oh, say everywhere. Except, of course, where I need some pine trees on higher elevations. Can BATs figure out their altitude and select fauna accordingly? Anyway, it would be far more useful to replace the best of the BATs with 'biome morphing fauna' than either living with inappropriate fauna, or hacking a bat just to replace palm-trees where they don't belong.

I'd like to request the British Library:

(That historical building to the right isn't part of it, and those green bits on the roof are pagoda-like.)

And the British Museum:

Big picture of front

Floor plan:

^That egg-shaped thing is the central dome thing. The courtyard it's in has a glass roof.

Better picture of the courtyard:

Thanks!

I'm sure this wouldnt be too difficult,

ok, could someone make like, a walking path set

like, I want to make a city where there are no roads, everyone walks

so, I need walking paths, fully transit enabled ones, and if it was bundled with a mod so sims could walk about up to about 10 blocks

and hopefully, in different styles too, like, red brick, sandstone, that default style, hopefully just worn and broken up tarmac as well

also variations of the lots, like, ones with trees down the middle and you line then up as a barrier down the middle with trees, or some with lights (that actually light up), or a fountain

also, I need ones which are capable of crossing elevated rail, or train tracks, so I can embed that sort of thing into the city without having gaps with vegetation

actually, one way might be to make mods for all the roads that convert them into the walkways, replace all the textures with modified ones

like, avenues are like, a fancy redish brown type brick, with a barrier down the middle, yeah, just leave the centre barrier the exact same as they are now, and replace all the sidewalk and road textures with a nice brick

then on regular roads, use a more beige or brown bricks, which are a little more worn down looking

and on streets, have a pavement texture, just a cheap patchy paved pathway

and then on all of them, just let people go down them, and no longer cars

but replacing the roads might be a bit much, so if just them all modified works properly then that would probably best

hope you understand all this, if not, just PM me and i'll try and clairify my idea ^___^
