[ChicagoBulls2345 0]

I would like just about every NYC, Chicago, LA, Boston, Seattle,  and every other major US city's lnadmarks, buildings, skyscrapers, etc.  For instance,  An NYC building that I don't know the name of but sticks out in my mind alot (I live in Indiana and am about 90 - 100 miles east of Chicago, a 2-3 hour car ride from the Windy City,  I live east of South Bend, Indiana - home of hte Notre Dame Fightin' Irish & College Football Hall of Fame) is the builind near the WTC with the green colored pyramid shape at it's top.  If you have ever seen the the movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Secret of the Ooze, they (the camera) shows this builidng when Keno is running from the Foot's HQ/junkyard toward's April's apartment - which is close to the WTC (I'm sure April would have seent he terrorist attacks from where her apartment was located) and as he is running across the bridge (Brooklyn Bridge?) they show the WTC and this particular building I am talking about.  I would also like to see some more real-life bridges such as the Brooklyn Bridge and other New York styled bridges, major sports stadiums (Boston Garden - RIP, Fenway, Shea, Safeco, Wrigley, US Celluar Field - as a Cubs fan, it will always be Comiskey to me), Pro Player, AllTell - site of Super Bowl 39, Yankee Stadium, Giants Stadium, RFK, PetCo, SBC, Dodgers, Ebbets Field - RIP, Qualcomm, Soldier Field, Georgia Dome, SuperDome, Ford FIeld - site of Super Bowl 40, STAPLES Center, AstroDome, etc.) the major fastfood/restaurant chains in America and the world.  Also the Arcologies of SC2000, and in SC3000 and SC3000 Unlimited, the landmarks in those games (SC3K Unlimited had a few more landmarks than SC3K) and the commerical and residential buildings of the these games, as well as the Fusion Power Plant from SC3000/Unlimited, as well as the bridge of SC3000/Unlimited a la the Golden Gate Bridge of the Bay Area, California.  That's all I can think of for now.  Peace out, God Bless, and United We Stand.

i was just curious if any of the great baters on this site has started on the moscow state university its just a really beautiful building and would be a great landmark/university (however they choose to do it) to any city

[Cinephile_12 0]

The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. I'm sure the world's greatest contemporary museum should be created for the game. There was nothing that looked like this before it was built and it revived an entire city. It would be a challenge, but well worth the time!!!

^ Most of the building is covered with titanium singles, the rest is composed of either glass or light/medium tan bricks. There are loads of other pictures covering the net.

 

I'm not even sure if is possible to create in BAT; the building's architect, Frank Gehry, had to develop a special achitectural program that was capable of designing airplanes in order to design this building. I would be more than willing to make it myself, but I found out I was incapable of making anything like this with that program (Even after all of the bloody tutorials!!!). This truely is an amazing structure and would be more than a great addition to Sim City 4!

I'd like a simple wooden telephone pole with two horizontal cross bars at the top, the upper one slightly wider than the lower one, with two ceramic insulated cable holder things at the end of each arm, just like the hundred or so you can see each day.

I'd use these in rural and suburban areas along roads and over hills. It would be great if they had cables but it's not necessary, just a realistic pole will do for now.

That said, I think the standard 2-tile (?) power radius would be quite a limitation. I think the poles should transfer power over a wider, say, 8- to 10-tile radius. That's the wires' function in the standard monster power poles, I suppose. Again start with a good-looking light-colored wooden pole.

Thanks.

I'd like to request the Jedi Temple from the Star Wars movies to use like a police station. The cars and helicopters could be changed for the spaceships from the movies. I would make them myself, but i'm not that good at gmax and BAT yet. If anyone has the time, let me know and I will get a picture from each one of the items. The constructions and the maps from the Lord of The Rings would be cool too...

Thanks

Date: 7/22/2005 2:33:06 AM Author: Willyd 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.

Are there any RCI plops that have housing/office space for all three levels of wealth? Is this a possibility? Perhaps a building with three levels, each getting mroe beautiful as you ascend these residential/commercial towers...

Thank you!

[pipishere 3]

Hey, i was wonderin if it could be possible to have something done along the lines of the building below? It's a very nearly completed apartment complex in Leeds, UK. It's a really nice looking building and it would look lovely in any city i'm sure.

 

 

Sorry there the only pics i could get, many thanks!

I have a request for a person who knows how to make buildings!! I would like someone to make a version of the proposed fordham spire building that might be built in Chicago.

 

The 2,000-foot tower, proposed by Chicago developer Christopher Carley and designed by noted architect Santiago Calatrava, would go up along the city's lakefront near Navy Pier, northeast of the Loop. Carley's building, minus its spire, would be 1,458 feet high.

Hey, i hope this is the right place to post this i have already looked and couldnt find anything

im using the ind*4 , res/2 mods, i was wondering if anyone could do a com*3 mod?

[p2h5 3]

The Bilbao Guggenheim would be great, but i doubt anyone could actually make it (i would be very impressed if someone could prove me wrong), as even the architect, O'Gehry, had to make new software and programs to design it himself, because of the complex lines.  His Vitra Design Museum would be good too:

Being a Montrealer, I would love it if someone could BAT Montreal's tallest building. It would of been way higher if the stupid city council hadn't set a maximal height of only 205 m (around 675 feet) for highrises...

 

Anyways standing proudly at 51 stories, The 1000 de la Gauchetiere is a beautiful postmodern blue building with a triangular copper roof.

If anyone knows about other Montreal BAT's out there please PM or reply in this topic.

 

Thanks
