HKABT Presents Tin Hak Estate models: bixel modding: bixel lotting: Lerist!!! readme: bixel Based off of a real buildings in HK from photo reference I present you with Tin Hak Estate! A public housing estate (Chinese: ????) is a housing estate in Hong Kong mainly built by the Hong Kong Housing Authority and the Hong Kong Housing Society. About half of Hong Kong residents now live in public housing estates and other tower blocks with some form of subsidy. Rents are cheaper than ordinary housing, and are heavily subsidised, financed by financial activities such as rents and charges collected from car parks and shops within or near the estates. They are usually located in the remote or less accessible parts of the territory, but urban expansion has put some of them in the heart of the urban area. Home Ownership Scheme flats, unlike the public housing estates, are sold to the owners at discounted prices. The vast majority of the estates are high-rise buildings, and the recent buildings of 2005 reach 40 storeys. Anyway you will want to know the stats here they are. Special thanks to Lerist for LOT design. Tin Hak Estate Occupancy: R$ 8,500 Pollution: Air: 25 Water: 25 Garbage: 35 Power Consumed: 120 Water Consumed: 180 LOT SIZE: 4x11 Stage 8 Euro Set only!

Use the Pictures provided to zone and plan properly for tower placement. Simply unzip the content of this archive into your plugins folder and delete all the lots you don't want. It is generally recommendable to unzip the entire download into a backup folder first and then copy only those files that you want into a sub-folder inside your main plugins folder. This procedure makes it easier to keep full control and leave out files that are not required in game, such as this readme and the screenshots. In case you are looking for any .SC4desc files, these have been merged with the associated lot files to reduce clutter. Due to the individual names of each lot, I needed one desc per lot anyway, so this method suggested itself. To uninstall a version you don't like, just delete the lot file from your plugins folder. IMPORTANT: If any instance of the lot in question has already grown in one or more cities, first bulldoze all instances of that version in all your cities, then save the cities and exit. Now you can safely remove the version without running any risk to experience crashes or any other inconvenience. Bixel on behalf of HKABT Thursday, July 2, 2009

The Hong Kong / Asia BAT Team presents HK Garden Estate Towers BATs created by bixel Modding, lot design & readme by T Wrecks Check out the Hong Kong /Asia BAT Team thread at Simtropolis Introduction / Overview Finally it is out - probably one of the most radical lot sets ever to appear on the STEX in one download. This file contains no less than 15 low-wealth and 17 medium-wealth lots, based on a slew of different combinations of 5 residential towers, ranging from compact single-tower lots to large complexes with 5 or 6 towers. The objective of this set was to enable SimMayors to recreate those huge, multi-tower residential complexes that can be found in Hong Kong. This time, however, the approach was different in two respects: Firstly, instead of combining all buildings on a massive mega lot, this set is fully modular (see included example screenshots) and can be used to compose a tower complex of virtually any size and shape by means of smaller individual lots with lot sizes ranging from 2x3 to 6x6. Secondly, this time no particular real-life complex was recreated accurately. Instead, these towers look rather generic and are only based on floor plans of actual HK residential buildings and inspired by existing estates, but otherwise ficticious. Another interesting aspect is that one of the tower models features custom LODs which allowed the roof of the base section to be filled with props. Since the towers look so generic, they can also serve as both R$ and R$$ buildings - the choice is up to you! Included Lots / Dependencies First of all, everything you need is included in this download, i.e. there are no dependencies! The following tables list all included lots together with their name, their tower configuration, lot size, growth stage, and occupant number. This time there are no exact stats listings, as this would result in a table that would be several screens in width and height. However, you can rest assured that the stats and values have been chosen carefully and will not stray too far from in-game buildings. You will also see that all lots are depicted on separate screenshots (yes, for both wealth levels!) so that you can browse through the screenshots comfortably and decide which lots you are going to use and which ones you don't like. Any combination is possible; you can choose only one single lot, some of one wealth level, some of both wealth levels, or simply all the 32 of them. Note: Numbers 2a and 2b are only available as R$$, hence they are not listed in the first table, which only contains the R$ lots. TABLE 1: LOW-WEALTH (R$) LOTS

The Hong Kong / Asia BAT Team presents Victoria Towers ***UPDATED!!*** new render BAT created by bixel Modding, & lot design by bixel readme by bixel Check out the Hong Kong /Asia BAT Team room at Simtropolis Introduction / Overview Location: Tsimshatsui, Hong Kong Standing 70 storeys tall above Kowloon Park, The Victoria Towers offers the most prominent luxury highrise homes in downtown Kowloon. Rocco Design Ltd served as architect for the threetower mixed-use project, which was jointly developed by Cheung Kong (Holdings) Ltd, CITIC Pacific Ltd and Hutchison Whampoa Ltd. The site of The Victoria Towers is located at the junction of Austin Road and Canton Road — two major thoroughfares that meet at the Western side of the Kowloon Peninsula. A residential and retail development was planned for the site and, given the traffic along the two corridors, the project team decided to create a large introduction for the podium shopping mall. This is a 3 Model Piece, meaning two towers (T1, T3) are props and the main middle tower is the main. I did this so LOT Editors can move the towers around to make new configurations. Perhaps later I may do a better rendition of the foundation to the specs of the real building and have it is one whole complete model, but right now I offer 3 for customization. These towers are very very tall and may look funny standing alone. The following lots are included: 4x10 Growable R$$ 4x10 Landmark Dependencies PEG CDK SV Plus Pack 1 Stats and Values All game-rele

Here is a package of 3 R$$ HK style towers to meet demand in tight small spaces, much like Hong Kong itself. All towers are 2x2. As seen in the pic the 1st is building on the far left is the Tinhao Residential Tower inspired by photos of the Tinhao District. The middle tower, the tallest, is the Tsuen Wan Residential Tower, inspired by photos of the Tseun Wan District. The 3rd Building on the far right is the Hollywood HK Residential Tower inspired by photos of the Hollywood District. Building: Population Capacity: Tinhao Residential Tower: 961 Hollywood HK Residential Tower 803 Tsuen Wan Residential Tower 1048 Sorry no Landmarks. These took longer than needed to make because each developement of the building I gathered more textures and better detail, so some of the buildings went through several revisions. I finally decided enough was enough and after some testing it was time to put them on the STEX! Enjoy, and please vote. Made By Bixel!

Sham Wan Towers v2 B.A.T. created by bixel Modding, new lots & readme by T Wrecks INTRODUCTION This is a second version of the Sham Wan Towers, which features several improvements. The original version had a non-functional road BATted through the building, and its stats were pretty problematic. New stats have been included in another download, but this was not a really user-freindly approach. Now Sham Wan Towers are back, and this time they come in 5 different versions, 3 of which are transit-enabled! The building, too, has undergone some changes. The BATted road has gone, and some details have been added. Now the building features two access roads to built-in parking space, and if you use the transit-enabled versions, these roads (well, one road and one street, actually) will connect to your existing network! In total, you will find: - a regular growable R

The Hong Kong / Asia BAT Team presents The Harbourside(v2.0)BAT created by bixel Modding, menu icons & lot design by T Wrecks readme by bixel Check out the Hong Kong /Asia BAT Team room at Simtropolis Introduction / Overview The Harbourside is a 255m (836.6ft) tall residential skyscraper located at 1 Austin Road, in Union Square complex on Kowloon peninsula. The building is erected on the West Kowloon Reclamation west of Kwun Chung. Construction of the 74 storey building began in 2000 and was completed in 2003 under the design by P & T Architects & Engineers.The building is, in fact, three towers joined at the base, middle and top however from a distance it appears as one wall of a building. The gaps between the towers help relieve the stress caused by the wind as the building has a large surface area which results in it acting as a sail. It was constructed as part of the Kowloon Station development and was the fourth phase. All floors are used for residential purposes. The tower is the 91st tallest building in the world when measured up to the highest architectural point.
