  1. SimPrague Bata Shoe Factory 24 and 25

    Version 1.0.0

    617 Downloads

    Happy New Year! A little present for all of you industrial geeks. Before we return to Prague, we had to stay in Zlín for a while and build a few more factory buildings of the Bata Shoe Manufacturing Company. Similarly to others in the town, they are based on a 6,15 x 6,15 metre reinforced concrete frame, filled with bricks. Circular columns give us a hint that these manufactures were built in 1930s. Unfortunately, they were demolished recently (while their neighbors were renovated for various purposes). Buildings 24 and 25 are smaller than my previously uploaded 44, but they are connected by another part and make a nice ensemble, which I used to create a variety of lots. In fact, there are many lots, both ploppable and growable (see below). TECH STUFF IMPORTANT NOTE: Check the SimPrague_readme.txt to learn more about the project! IMPORTANT NOTE: SimPrague project uses a consistent 133% scale! Sorry if it doesn't fit your city. This pack contains the following models and lots: 2 models of main buildings (24 and 25), each in two texture variants, plus several parts to combine in larger lots: a connection, a small warehouse and a loading bay. 4 growable 7x4 lots, each containing exactly one of the 4 main building models, grows in high density industrial zones and employs ca. 230 workers. Zoning exactly sized areas with ctrl+drag helps, also make sure you have population at least 10 thousand and enough demand for I-m. 4 ploppable 7x4 lots, found in the landmark menu and functioning similar as the growables. The lots are slightly different though. 2 growable 8x8 lots, each containing two of the main buildings and some other parts as props. They grow in high density industrial zones and offer 780 resp. 860 jobs. 2 ploppable 8x8 lots and 1 ploppable 7x7 "compact" lot, all found in the landmark menu. They are different from the growable lots and offer 720 I-m jobs. 1 growable 3x2 "small warehouse" lot, which grows in the high density industrial zone and offers 45 I-m jobs. That is 14 unique lots in total. Night lighting is modest, usually only a small part of the building is lit, one of the models is entirely dark if it suits you better. There is only one night version, but I've tested it and it looks fine with and without SimFox Day'n'Nite Mod. DEPENDENCIES NOTE for beginners: Dependencies are props and other files that are useful and generally accessible online, so you don't want to include them again in any new upload. It can be annoying the first few times you spend half an hour downloading them, but as they are so widely used by all other BATters as well, you will soon find yourself having most of them or being able to skip some.

  2. Show us What you're Working On

    I'm working on two more factory buildings from Zlín. This time it is harder than I thought, so I share here the work in progress. The connecting part is finished, building in the front only needs some more texturing, building in the back will have several differences.

    Let's go for a trip, heading south-east of Prague. Our destination is Zlín, a small industrial town that is absolutely unique in European context. Almost entirely built by Bata shoe manufacturing company, the town offers many factory buildings, workers' houses, hotel, cinema and company HQ, all built in a distinctive style. I start with one of the manufactures, built in place of an older one, damaged during WWII, in the years just after the war (ca. 1946-48). It's based on a reinforced concrete frame with typical 6,15 x 6,15 metre module, but innovated using higher floors and wider bays (6,15 x 7,85 m). The number 44 is actually a position in carthesian grid, so 4th row and 4th column.

  6. SimPrague Antoninska Apartments

    This time you get some luxury apartments of the late 1930s. Built in 1937 in a young quarter not far from the ciy centre, they represent some of the best of the era. The architect's name is Eugene Rosenberg. They have electric heating, elevator, wooden shades to protect the rooms from sunlight and expensive materials used in the interior. Enjoy and let me know if you would like to live in such apartments.

IMPORTANT NOTE: SimPrague project uses a consistent 133% scale! Sorry if it doesn't fit your city. NOTE: Sidewalk in preview is not yet available online, you will see your own sidewalk texture. There are two models with slight variations in texture shades and with unique nightlighting. I've used them to create two 3x3 and two 3x4 high-wealth residential lots, which will grow in high-density zones and in Euro tileset. You can also plop them as college called Antoninska School of Design, it occupies a 3x4 lot. The stats are as usual. There is also a 3x3 ploppable lot, which can be found in the Landmark menu and functions as CO$$$ with 180 jobs. Each of the two ploppables uses one of the two variants, so you can see them both prior to letting them grow. There is only one night version, but I've tested it and it looks fine with and without SimFox Day'n'Nite Mod.

  7. SimPrague Teachers' Houses

    Version 1.0.0

    535 Downloads

    I present to you the three houses of the Teachers' Housing Association finished in 1921 according to a project of well-known early modernist architect Otakar Novotný. Their facades are designed in late cubist style. A whole quarter in the Old Town was demolished at the end of the 19th century to make place for modern development, these houses are one of the last built in the area. They are full of comfortable medium wealth appartments and let's hope they will remain residential forever, but in case you wanted to plop the houses in game I assumed they underwent an adaptation and there are offices of the Baltic America Line Company, which originally operated in the ground floor commercial space in real life.

IMPORTANT NOTE: SimPrague project uses a consistent 133% scale! Sorry if it doesn't fit your city. NOTE: Sidewalk in preview is not yet available online, you will see your own sidewalk texture. To enhance variability I made mirrored versions, so a bit unhistorically you can create a whole block of 12 of these houses (4 different lots) or any combination. There are 4 models with slight variations in texture shades and with unique nightlighting. Each one of them is placed on a corresponding R$$ high density lot, two lots are 2x5 (left and right corner), two lots are 5x2 (left and right corner). They will grow in the Euro Tileset. There is also 1 ploppable lot, which can be found in the Landmark menu and functions as a landmark and offers 320 CO$$ jobs. I've made it 4x5 so you can see a plaza in front of the building.

    Version 1.0.1 ZIP file

    Imagine living in a wet, crowdy, ugly underground flat next to a factory. What do you need? A tiny rowhouse. Luckilly, around 1920 the city council of Prague decided to help some of its low income residents, bought cheap lots in the fresh air (okay, it's between cemetery and cabbage fields) and subsidized building these rowhouses and semi-detached houses. You can be one of their inhabitants and watch the city grow around you. Your dreams about elegant architecture might come true one day in the future... This pack contains 21 growable R $ lots (2x3, 3x2 and 1x2), one elementary school and one kindergarten. There are colour variants: brick walls, light plaster walls and red plaster walls. Choose only some or use them all. Enjoy and please let me know how it works for you!

    I'm slowly getting to have this done. Now I need to work on the windows (day and night) and some details in the backyard... @Belfastsocrates First things first, diagonals may come later when I have the production set up :-D There is a milion of crooked buildings in this city, so there will be plenty of opportunities. So far, I was choosing the "almost regular" to fit the grid.

  12. "Sim Prague" Under Construction

    Good Sunday morning, everyone! I've been working on the next BAT too long, so I decided to have a break and do something nice just by the way. Thanks to GoFSH tool, mgbrsc204's Automated sidewalk texturing script and Matias93, managed to create a little sidewalk mod of my own. Prague has got very beautiful paving, made of little black, white and pink paving stones, called "Prague mosaic". From many mosaic patterns you could see in the streets I chose three which are most commonly used... But I will probably make more as plaza lots before uploading. Yes, the difference is big. But I am unable to render with 3ds Max. Version 2012 + hotfix1 + MAX4BAT 5 still results in crashing due to bad memory allocation. The memory is not the problem, 3GB is enough to make renders in mental ray, Cycles and gmax. It must be the script. Is there a way to make it work better? To Gn_leugim: textures.com were previously cgtextures.com, that's where I usually get the stuff, those posted last time were my own photos from the real building I am texturing :-) I hadn't known imageafter.com, thanks for that. citycowboy: Thanks, man. To Michael: Yes, I plan to release them and I'm working on it. Not sure if I can keep my Sunday deadline this time but you can expect the cubist houses soon.

    Thank you, Gn_leugim, I like your tutorials, they're funny. I hope your eyes don't hurt from bad textures too much :-) Hmm, Portugal. You're right , colours are similar, but as there is more snow in Central Europe, the roofs are built with steeper slope. The effect by the way is, that they apply much stronger in the silhouette of the city, so it looks more kitschy, like Disney's fairy tale :-D
