  1. PEG Abyss Garbage Chute

    doxology commented on Pegasus's file in PLEX Custom Lots & Mods

    This is the first lot I've seen break through SC4's proverbial "fourth wall," making a joke on the game's own mechanics! Brilliant!

  2. Borders Books

    doxology commented on SimGoober's file in Commercial

    Excellent architectural job as usual, but there's one problem--that's not Borders' logo, at least not the national chain I know! Look at www.borders.com; the logo uses a sans-serif type instead of serif.

  3. Big 6

    doxology commented on Superstar's file in Residential

    Social realism at its best. Excellent detail!

  4. Simple Water Tower

    doxology commented on El_Nomade's file in Utilities

    Good, a reasonable amount of water. I recall another water tower (don't remember whose) that was set to 9999999 or something, and it totally screwed up my city's water stats!

  5. Htin Hitech Tower

    doxology commented on Baro's file in Industrial

    Surreal and sublime; imposing and intriguing. Its form defies reality, yet its vast details pull that impossibility back into reality and firmly anchor it there. Simply jaw-dropping.

  6. BAT Projects - SimGoober

    doxology replied to SimGoober's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    These are looking great, SG! Very authentic, and good attention to detail. As I mentioned in the LEX, though, on your Best Buy, there's an issue with the logo. My suggestion for you, and anyone else re-creating national chains, is to visit www.brandsoftheworld.com and do a search for the company--there you'll find not only a gif of the logo by itself, but an EPS that you can scale and perhaps import directly into Gmax.

  7. Simtropolis Metro Mercy Center Revised

    doxology commented on joerg's file in Civic & Non-RCI

    I was hoping I'd see this one revisited--and you exceeded my expectations!

  8. Safeway Gorcery Store

    doxology commented on SimGoober's file in Commercial

    I'd say this looks most like a store from about 1955-1965. Anyway, the vintage feel adds a very comfortable atmosphere to it... I can easily imagine walking in over a well-worn doormat, into a golden-hued interior with '60s style lettering for "PRODUCE," and so on.

  9. One MT Plaza

    doxology commented on jsieczka's file in Commercial

    Looks authentic.

  10. Geoff Diamonds Lake Tower

    doxology commented on geoff_diamond's file in Residential

    Excellent concept, and personally, I think the night lighting's fine. What you really need, though, is more texture--the beige walls just feel too flat, and the windows could use some reflection textures. No roof junk needed here, but you could "weather" the thing a bit with textures.

  11. London Gherkin

    doxology replied to Caliban's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    I don't rate either...I just give comments, which I think are far more valuable, as well as less offensive to individuals who went to grade-inflated schools. Honestly, with such a high caliber of work being more or less the norm here at ST, shouldn't the rating curve be less forgiving? Not that any of the leading BATers here ever do subpar work, but shouldn't ratings be icing on the cake, recognizing creations that are even more amazing than the other ones? What's the point if all the top ones are 10, and you suddenly jump down to 7 for anything less? Anyway, excellent job on the Gherkin, Caliban. I'm really glad to see this building in SC4.

  12. Embassy Suites Hotel

    doxology commented on SimGoober's file in Commercial

    Perfect hotel to have near an airport!

  13. SimCity 2000 style Microwave Power Plant

    doxology commented on bluob's file in Utilities

    The failthfulness to the 2K version is excellent, but I'd like to see your original take on it, too-- some elements of the original, such as that big, blue "M" were necessary back in the original because of the small pixel area of SC2K sprites; here you could put in your own (blue!), detailed sign.

  14. Professional Center

    doxology commented on SimGoober's file in Commercial

    We need more gap-bridging buildings like this. Definitively suburban!

  15. The Colosseum

    doxology commented on oppie's file in Civic & Non-RCI

    The attention to detail is stunning.

  16. GDV Yacht Club

    doxology commented on goldiva's file in Waterfront

    Beautiful job! Just what every top-of-the-line R$$$ lakeshore development needs close by!

  17. Buffalo City Court

    doxology commented on jsieczka's file in Civic & Non-RCI

    We need more buildings like this for the "troubled" cities that exist in every region. :)
  18. Excellent job on a funky landmark!

  19. K4404 CULTURAL SETS EGYPTIAN urbancounty house 1

    doxology commented on kevinman4404's file in Building Sets

    I really like the work you're doing in your Egyptian Cultural set... Now if only someone could mod a way to have custom tilesets!

  20. CARCH-Willow Tree Executive Plaza

    doxology replied to cerulean's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    I really like the variety of forms and the color choices.

  21. StormyNight R

    doxology commented on StormyNight's file in Residential

    Oh, and yay for R$$ :)

  22. StormyNight R

    doxology commented on StormyNight's file in Residential

    Looking good, but it could use some more detailing. Interesting, though, in the screenshot you show, it actually looks at home out by itself, kinda like Chicago's Lake Point Tower.

  23. The Cobb Regency

    doxology commented on Cobb32118's file in Residential

    Playful yet believable. You have an interesting architectural sense, Cobb.

  24. Antarian Condos

    doxology commented on akwx128's file in Residential

    Very nice job, concept to completion. Awkward though the roof may be, I still agree it was a better idea than just leaving it flat. Well-done night lighting, too. My suggestion for a replacement, though, would be an extruded arc. I think that would fit in even better.

  25. Joergs BAT Showcase

    doxology replied to joerg's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    Regarding the hospital, I definitely agree with EnigmaticUK--perhaps connecting floors (even just slender hallways) up to where the lower tower's turquoise cap begins would look much more efficient. Otherwise it's going to take a long time to get that cardiac patient who suddenly needs dialysis to where he needs to be.
