If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to re-lot the buildings you want. Whenever you relot a building, it places a new DAT file in your plugins folder; if I'm thinking correctly then this wouldn't be affected by the blocker.

Again, I'm overly impressed. The skill you're showing off here is tremendous, and the idea is well executed. I can't wait until you hit some foreign land with a super-complex civilization... that'll be fun to watch :)

I'm impressed. This is such a underdone concept that you really have something unique to show us. Not to mention the landscaping is fantastic :D I'll be watching this one very closely. -Faded Glory

I personally love the window texture as is. It's dark, yet not overly reflective like most other dark-tinted buildings. If you release it in Maxis-Night once it's finished i'll definitely download it

Sorry for the confusion I caused on my part. I don't mind blue, I was just thinking of alternative colors at that time. As for your update to it. That's a lot better; I'm also enjoying the fact that you're sitting down with us and listening to the critism. I have a feeling this'll be one of your better projects with just a little more time

Um... even if it IS blue in reality, it doesn't look well in game as far as textures go. A concrete or gray texture would look loads better in my opinion, plus it wouldn't hurt my eyes to look at it.

Hmm... Neat idea, but it does need improvement. The outside of the stadium not only seems too crowded but also extremely repetitive. Also, I don't understand the purpose of the buildings on the left of the picture. It could probably use some more cars too

What I do for realistic suburbs is to make main streets that then branch out into sub streets, continuing on until I have something that looks like a suburb. See these pics I took if you need a visual of what I'm talking about:

In one of my projects Jen_P has a family prop that brings up a bunch of different cars at random. Be warned though that in the LE they all look the same, but they don't in game https://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1259 Hopefuly this meets your requirements

They're very... blue. Might I suggest a concrete or brick texture? Something that doesn't stand out as much?

Yes, please refine the textures. It's really close to being finished, and we as a whole would like to help you see this through to it's end, hopefully as a well done product.

Wow, welcome! This a fine peice of work you've got started, and I'm glad to see that you've done the most benefitial thing for yourself by opening a thread. Now, without looking at the building in real life, the wall on the left looks like its on an diagonal. This wouldn't be a problem, but it seems the roof is not over part of the building in the back left corner? Overall though, that's the only thing I've noticed that you haven't yourself (at least from what you said in the first post). I really do wish you all the luck I can; BATting is hard, but you've made an awesome start. Of course, I must end by saying what i say to every BATter... Don't rush it! Keep up the good work!

Great stuff there! I happen to like the brick texture on the office base level, but then again I am a sucker for anything old-timey & brick. The other office is nicely executed with the clean modern lines and the supurb lighting. If this was released as-is I'd download it in a heartbeat. ...That being said, don't rush xD I'd hate to be a hypocrit. Anywho, enough rambling. Keep up the amazing things you do!

Wow, nice start, although there is still some work to be done. Firstly there needs to be a door on the bottom floor for people to enter the building; otherwise, we just have to assume that the climb giant ladders in an effort to get to the first floor. Second, I would recommend a different texture for the majority of the building, maybe a nice brick texture or concrete to complement the modern style of the windows. Also, may I ask what the structure at the top is? It's looks nice (if not somewhat out of place). Overall though, this has a good amount of potential! Keep up the improvements All the best Faded Glory
