Ugly? Perhaps. But this is a model that keeps the game feeling modern and fresh, and it's useful in that it helps fill the midrise "gap". We are blessed with skyscrapers a-plenty. But an urban core is filled out by midrises like this. And for a 20+ year old game, a big effort is required to keep it feeling contemporary. This is a very useful building and I am grateful. It's well-textured, modeled, and modded. 5/5.

"Dying" is too strong a word. Yes, Hide Inoki shut down. It isn't 2005 with multiple BAT releases every day. But there are still plenty of players, customizers and coders. SimCity 4 is still seen by many people as the gold standard of city Sims. The sheer number of mods, aesthetic and practical, have kept the game moving forward 23 years after it's release - one of only a few games with this kind of lasting impact, really. As long as people still play and create and share their works, the game isn't going to die.

When in doubt, use a random number generator: https://www.random.org/ All the options are quite nice!

This is such a unique piece! You should consider some of your other local buildings too, most of us are unfamiliar with A Coruña but it looks like an interesting place!

Here's the Reddit post with the modeler's Patreon. As you can see from the comments, the effort is controversial, due to the AI component. And as @kaimai noted, no one wants to pay money for something not proven to work.
-
There is someone who has been posting recently on the SimCity Reddit who claims to be using AI for design and then creating building models based off that. But as of yet, there is no indication it actually works. https://www.fab.com/listings/e1c2400f-b688-419e-8a2e-16844d3073f9

Gleaming skyscrapers get much of the attention in SimCity, but for true variety, you need additions to the "boring" as well. Houses and small apartment buildings, modest commercial businesses, and of course industrial lots, which are often overlooked. However, they're the backbone of cities, especially growing ones. Try and create a region without them and you'll stunt your community's growth. Here we have a wonderfully modeled I-HT addition from Simmer2, who is a delight to have back at Simtropolis. It's well textured, appropriately nightlit and well modded. It is not a center of attention, but it adds variety to industrial areas, serves an underserved niche in BATs, and makes playing the game simply more interesting. Variety is the spice of life, and it adds zest to SC4 too. Simmer2 has given us a tasty spice to use as we garnish our cities with quality custom BATs. Thank you Simmer2! 5/5!

Got a quick SC4 question?... Ask here!
brancra replied to City_Slider's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
It is tremendously difficult to get an invitation. However, I believe one of our Korean members downloaded all the SimCity China uploads and hosted them on a publicly accessible server (I recall it had a cafe.naver link). @pikachu_SQ may know more. -
I want to praise you @Koonam. You worked hard on this and asked constructive questions of other BATters and molders, and you made countless fixes and revisions to get this wonderful BAT published. Your persistence and diligence is admirable. Additionally, this was not an easy choice of project. The modeling is complex as Beaux Arts buildings are. But you worked at it, you applied thoughtful textures, and the nightlighting is excellent. Bravo! The community is lucky to have you. 5/5!

The modeling is well-done, the textures are excellent, and the BAT is appropriately modded. But that nightlighting is simply exquisite. A lot of players are reluctant to play their cities in the nighttime setting - they're worried about DarkNite vs MaxisNite (personally, I think the sheer variety of BAT textures out there have mitigated some of the stark DN/MN contrast), buildings with inadequate "spotlight" style lighting, or simply no night lights at all. But a model like this shows that's really missing out on a critical aesthetic component of the game. The quieter background noise and the cricket sound in rural areas, the little headlights and taillights of automata, and truly phenomenal night-lighting such as that on Cockatoo's AIG Tower here. This is wonderful, this is a treat for the eyes. It brings sparkle to a 20+ year old game. Bravo! 5/5!
