Yep, I'm still around here from time to time - almost 20 years later (which is crazy to think about since it feels like only a few years ago since SC4 was released ) Anyway, i need to update hosting for the models I made, since the links went down probably a year or so ago. Going to put the downloads on Google Drive so they can be downloaded once again. Will probably make an update to the blog with how my SC4 recreations (NYC, LA, Chicago, London, etc..) have been coming along recently since I still work on them periodically.

I'm blown away as someone from Chicago - fantastic and incredible work. So many BAT's I wanted to have in SimCity 4 for more than a decade: the IBM Building, 311 Wacker, Leo Burnett, the Prudential Building, the Metcafe Federal Building, etc.... Planned on making some of these myself but procrastinated on getting started and prioritized my laundry list of NYC BAT's... which I need to start finishing and releasing finally since the Flatiron Building has been sitting around almost finished for 10+ years now) Planning on making some Chicago BAT's like the Daley Center, Art Institue, Marshall Fields, the RR Donnelley Building (77 West Wacker Drive), One Chicago Tower and an accurately scaled Merchandise Mart (which would be basically mega project due to its size and the fact that it would need to be transit enabled since it's connected to a CTA L station). Seeing all your projects has inspired me to fire BAT back up.... Also really great to hear you're branching out into other cities eventually also like New York, lots of filler international and postmodern buildings to choose from.... just don't burn yourself out. Tested out 3 & 4 Michigan Plaza in my Chicago recreation and they look great btw.

Excellent work as always. I love that your BAT's feel alive and give a sense of the urban energy of NYC.

Cool to see there's still interest in my NYC recreation after all these years (20 years now which is crazy to think of :o) The Park Lane Hotel was indeed BATed by me way back around 2008 or so. Here's a direct link to donwload it from my Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1vDy6JzEGUqj7paBzqEqQ2LSprGVDha6h for anyone interested. When I have more time I'm planning on making a new version of the Park Lane Hotel (along with a few of my other BAT's) and put them on STEX. Some of my old BAT's like the Solow and WR Grace Buildings aren't scaled accurately and need better textures. Believe it or not I still work on my New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and London recreations from time to time; much less frequently than years ago due to increasing demands of real life but it's amazing I've been able to keep them going for over a decade.

The best NYC recreation I've seen yet... maybe the best NYC recreation in a game even. Those custom buildings are also stunning and make me want to fire up BAT.

Stunning realism as always and beautiful images that give me wanderlust. It looks like you'd need a super computer to run some of these recreations btw.

Amazing work as usual. This looks like Google Earth in SimCity. That terrain Corsica is beautiful, trying to get the same effect and combination for my Los Angeles region.
