I'd like to request a realistic looking gas station (or two or three). Real ones that we have up in Canada would be even better, like Petro-Canada/Esso/Shell.

It would be great if someone made Thomas Jefferson's majestic Monticello!
( I'll probably end up doing that, though! )

SC4, Forevermore!

Currently preoccupied with architecture school...lurking with caution.

I've posted this somewhere else (not sure where though, because there are so many threads about this topic<ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/23.gif>) but I would like to see a Zellers (or Target), a Macs or 7-11 (or similar convenience store) and a Radio Tower thats taller than the ones on the tv or radio lots. There's some buildings from the Lakehead (Thunder Bay) I'd like too see, but I guess I'll have to make them myself<ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/8.gif>. I'll have to learn GMax sometime, Eh<ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/22.gif>?  Good thing it's the weekend<ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/22.gif>!
 
BTW- for anyone who wants some textures, especially for Glass skyscrapers, visit www.freewebs.com/ctekhome . More pics daily. Good Luck, BAT Builders<ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/4.gif>.

I'd like to have a small rural church like you would see on a calendar or poster of those found in New England, in the farm areas usually in a Valley.
 
It should have a steeple, but no cross on the top, and no red door. Those are specific sects and I want a community church, one that welcome everybody.
 
It this occurs, I will be sure to use it on one or more CSX GA series farm lots.
 
I would expect this to fit onto either a 1x1 or a 1x2 lot. I think this would be big enough for the small church I visualize.

If anyone has the time, maybe they would like to make the Bank One Tower in Indianapolis.  It is a cool looking building, and at 811 feet tall, it is large in size.  Here is a picture for aspiring BATters.
 
/idealbb/files/BANKONEC_251.jpg
 
(Hint:  its the tall one!)  It is really great looking close up and is a great building for any region that's 350,000 and up.
 
Also, if anyone wants to do the Soldiers and Sailors monument, let me know and I will get a better picture for that.  The Soldiers and Saliors monument is right in front of the Bank One Tower, in Monument Circle. (for those of you not familiar with Indy)

What is really funny is look at Boca's building thread then go to Simcity3000 unlimited site and look at the building exchange. You can see how real they look compare to back then.

I like to see

SubWay
Papa Johns
Kash N' Karry,Public or some real grocey store
AMC's
Big Lots
Pro Player Stadium
Microsoft Headquarters
Apple Headquarters
Steak N' Shake
FoxNews building

I'd like to see a very grand looking stub-end train station.

a lot like south station in boston
Station.jpg
24rw6mw3.jpg
(By stub-end I mean where the train tracks fan out and just dead-end into the back of the station).
Right now there are some very nice-looking trainsit-enabled train station lots, but they all have through tracks. It would be nice to see some kind of central terminal which dead-ends as another option.

Personally, I'm more interested in stuff that you would normally plop yourself, like rewards, civic buildings, parks, etc. I think RCI buildings are cool, but my personal preference is not to plop them but to have them grow by themselves like all the other RCI lots in the game. You have to plop custom RCI lots, right?
Some of my requests could possibly be made with just the lot editor, but many things would look better with new BAT buildings/props. For example:
Aquarium
Theme Park
Naval Base
Railroad Roundhouse (to allow trains to reverse direction - good for UDI)
Ski Resort
Racetrack (2: Car and Horse)
Fishing/Tourist Wharf
Highway Rest Area
I would also like to suggest a BAT Prop Exchange for those who wish to share their BAT props for others to use in lots. (Has this already been suggested?) That way those of us less skilled at gmax could still use the plugin manager and lot editor to create new lots with new buildings (and credit the prop donor, of course).

Aronion, you don't intend to duplicate all the requests in the Building Wishlist thread in this thread, do you? There are dozens and dozens and dozens of building requests in that thread, many of them fairly detailed or with pictures. Why the new thread, when we have one thats already very populated and which has been around for so long?

Rubik is working on the WTC. Check out the Building Log: WTC (pre-9/11) in the Modding R&D forum.
 
See, this is what I mean. All the requests people are posting here have already been posted in the building wishlist thread. This new thread, which is supposedly supposed to consolidate bulding requests, is just giving everyone the opportunity to re-request everything thats already been requested in the building wishlist. I think its unnessecary.

One Canada Square (Canary Wharf)
Good factfile here.
 
One Canada Square is the tower with the pyrimidal top.
<ahttp://www.newlondonarchitecture.org.uk/MiscImages/CWfromSouth.jpg border=0>
 
The rest of the Canary Wharf district would be an awesome landmark to use in SC4. It is an amazing sight from the Greenwich Observatory.
 
  • The Petronas Towers, Kuala Lumpor
  • Tower Bridge, London

  • BT Tower, London
  • 30 St Mary Axe

Big Ben really is a poor substitute for the Peace Tower, if somebody made that(combined with all the old world european buildings that I'm sure are being made at this very moment), we could cobble together our own Canadian Parliament Buildings in the lot editor easily enough. Also, the war Memorial... I'll try to find a picture and post
