I (Kellydale2003) present to you Bay Adelaide Street West! HISTORY Bay Adelaide Centre West is a real life 51-story tower in Toronto, Ontario. Located at 333 Bay Street, the 218M skyscraper was completed in 2009 and is located in the heart of Canada's largest financial district. With preserving heritage an important part of Toronto, the developers of Bay Adelaide Centre preserved the historical corner building by building over it whilst maintaining the facade of the building - with some restoration help, of course. This is also a very unique building due to its revolutionary night lighting. Using photometric realistic lighting combined with strategically placed bump maps, the illusion of realism is created. The total project rendering time for day and night is 332 hours (almost like the real life address - 333 Bay Street). This is the largest building ever exported using this revolutionary and high-memory-intensive technique. DEPENDENCIES NEEDED .... JUST KIDDING! ONLY DARKNIGHT IS INCLUDED! Unfortunately, due to high rendering times, the dark night version can only be exported. If you do not have Simfox's DarkNight Mod, download it (link is in the read me of this file).

I (Kellydale2003) present to you 11 King Street West! HISTORY 11 King Street West is a real life building located in the Financial District of Downtown Toronto, Canada. The building is over 66m tall with 18 stories and was completed in 1965! Yes that's right, 1965! The building (obviously ahead of it's time) is located in the beautiful neighbourhood of "Old Toronto". The building is mainly occupied by Telus, but other leasers occupy other floors. NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR This project in particular was very challenging for the night lighting! Figuring out a new method of creating realistic lights I had trouble reducing rendering time to export this little guy. Fortunately all I needed to do was reduce the number of lights in the building in order to make a successful export. I (hopefully) appropriately named this new method of lighting Photometric Light Displacement Mapping (PLDM). PLDM uses traditional aspects of 3dsmax... photometric lights & displacement maps. Combining the two is very heavy on rendering memory for computers. So reducing rendering time was a challenge. The advantage to PLDM is the realistic differed lighting from floor to floor, "inside-floor" perspective, realistic colors of lights, and an overall better shadow/light effect as opposed to traditional SimCity 4 lighting. PLDM reduces the illusion of "fake" lighting. Traditional SimCity 4 lighting calls for self-illuminated planes or boxes with textures. PLDM gives the illusion you're looking into a real floor of a building and seeing furniture (displacement maps) with realistic lighting (photometric lights). Unfortunately PLDM's major disadvantages are high rendering times, and HD zoom breaks the illusion (most of the time). So far (in my opinion), it has been the best lighting method introduced to SimCity 4 for various reasons (modelling speed being the best reason). Hope you enjoy PLDM's first debut! , Kellydale2003 No dependencies (best self policy ever on simtropolis). ^Real life comparison of 11 King Street West in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

I Kellydale2003 present to you the Russian-Canadian-Torontonian inspired luxury residentials... Vohcem Condominiums! Vohcem Condominiums on the Lakeshore is a 100% fictional tower inspired by the amazing condos of the South Core of Downtown Toronto located along Lakeshore Boulevard. The tall yet slim structures of Downtown Toronto's South Core house thousands of Toronto residents in their ultra-modern luxury condo suites! The most recent trend in condo markets has been the partial or full rental of the condo suites to local or international hotels... making the Toronto condo market boom even more and inspire more projects like this! When I (Kellydale2003) first thought of building a tower like this I just started with a square, bent the edges, and rotated it slightly to break away from the traditional orientation of buildings in SimCity 4! The treated and inspired glass taught me an important lesson; Focal points can be made from the busy reflective windows. Therefore the yellow, blue, and grey facade was designed as a focal point for the whole tower... giving more culture and architectural interest to the tower. Soaring at a humble 36 stories of 175.4m (120% for SimCity 4) it fits in a comfortable 2x3 (32x48m) lot. The name "Vohcem" comes from the Russian word for the number "eight". As my personal policy always abides... NO dependencies! (: Download the MAXIS NIGHT file if you do not have SimFox's Darknight installed in your plugins!

(: Enjoy! , Kellydale2003 ps; I do know that the phonetic version of 'eight' in Russian is spelled differently! But for anyone who knows Canadians... We like to spell things our own way and is still legally and officially the right way of spelling it! eh! (: ps2; You're on a Canadian website...

Tired of Highrises? Tired of all midrises being old? Tired of buildings with odd lots? Well I present to you... 1001 Yonge Library and Offices! 1001 Library & Offices is a 100% fictional midrise building perfect for your cities! The modern glass facade architecture was based off the podiums and base structure of Maple Leaf Square in downtown Toronto! Maple Leaf Square is located in the upcoming new neighborhood of the South Core and is viewable from the famous Gardiner Expressway! After constantly visiting Toronto for quite sometime I've finally decided to do a facade similar to one of my favorite structures! Both downloads include a Library, AND a seperate office lot... both 6x4 lots! Anyways, Here's some more information! Did I mention there's no dependencies?

After months of procrastinating and shy revealing of the first tower of the Absolute City Centre complex... I present to you... ABSOLUTE WORLD ONE! Absolute World One is one of five towers in the Absolute City Centre complex located in Downtown Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. The tower was initially created through a design contest of 92 submissions to create an iconic building! This design became the most iconic and sales of the condos were so record-breaking that a sibling of similar design had to be created! Anyways, before I blabber on! JUST DOWNLOAD IT! (: More information is included in the download! All information including building and lot details are included and even building, design, and site history!
