Well, this is my first commercial BAT lot. Even though I know I could probably do better, I admit this isn't a bad start. Naturally, what's a city without a Dunkin Donuts for all those people who love coffee and donuts right? This is growable, and it will not replace any of your lots in the game. Bulldoze cost is $85 and it provides up to 9 CS$ jobs for your sims. Not trying to be rude but just for a little stereotypical giggle there's a couple of police cars in the parking lot . I'll probably end up updating this lot because I'm not too happy with how the building appears in the game (choppy looking on the closest zoom - even though the model quality was high when I exported it). But of course that might be something to do with how I have the visuals set up in my game. Also included in the download is a prop of the Dunkin Donuts sign, and of course everything has working nitelites. Anyway, I hope you all like it, and please give me your comments or suggestions you may have. Good luck.

UPDATE: FOUNDATION THRESHOLD FIX, DEMAND AND PARK EFFECT- AUGUST 18/04 In addition to the St. Michael's Church I decided to build another church naming it after another favorite angel, Gabriel. This church has the same package as St. Michael, no cost to plop and no monthly cost with only $200 to bulldoze, just like the default churches in the game. Night lights work too. This church lot is 5X5, slightly larger than St. Michael, but that's only because I added a little bit of a plaza type setting outside the church. Benches to sit, a gazebo, a water hole, lots of trees. Of course there's a landmark effect (40,20) and not to mention high mayor approval, so naturally it's got to look it's best . Hope you all like it! Good luck with your cities. Just to note, if anyone is tracking the St.Michael's Church just let me inform you all that the lot has been updated if you're interested. Thanks.

UPDATE: FOUNDATION THRESHOLD, DEMAND AND PARK EFFECT FIX - AUGUST 18/04 If there's something that the game could use more of, it's different styles of churches . This is just something I whipped together over the last couple of weeks in my spare time. It's a 4x5 lot and it can be found in your rewards, listed as a functional "House of Worship" that I just happened to name after my favorite archangel/saint Michael. Naturally where it's a church there's no cost to plot this, and bulldoze is only $200. The first screenshot is the eastview and the second shot is the northview just to give you an idea of the detail I added, including nightlights. It looks really nice in my city, hopefully you'll think it would in yours too . Let me know what you all think Thanx.

Now your sims can enjoy the wonders of the Universe using this high power telescope aimed at the heavens. This building can be found in your education toolbar. It's technically listed as a museum with exhibits and stuff (pictures of what the telescope captures maybe - use your imagination ) and has a great EQ effect on your sims. It's a 3X3 lot with a plop cost of $1000, bulldoze cost is $100, and maintance cost is $3000 (Remember - science doesn't come cheap! ) I took a break for a while out of frustration, but thanks to everyone in the forums for giving me some help on the night light problem I had a while back. Now that I've overcome that (no thanks to a stupid mistake I made...here I was thinking there was something wrong with the game), I'm FINALLY looking forward to working on some more lots. Thanks again
