Ploppable Modern Villas, by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- Many modern mansions are often positioned along rocky coastlines, secluded, private beaches or heavily forrested glades that are not easily accessible to the general public. Exclusivity and privacy are key to the modern villa compound favoured by today's rich. This poses a problem in SC4 as residential lots all need access to a road, and that of course means a lot must be made, and the downloader is often subject to the whims and tatses of the lot-maker: certainly houses that are off the beaten track are almost impossible to achieve in the constraints of SC4 RCI zoning. So to that end, the five previously released modern villas have all been made into a single building family to enable the user to place them wherever he or she wants. There is a single 1x1, neutral lot in the landmark menu, and to avoid clutter, each time you plop, you will get a different house at random. In order to be placed in very out-of-the-way locations, I have enabled these houses to light up without needing any electricity supply. These have been modded, so that you can then MMP right up to and even underneath the houses to lay out driveways, paths, fences, flower beds and trees to your taste. As per the pictures, these can be placed creatively on the map and can easily accommodate tropical, Mediterranean or temperate themes. You are limited only by your imagination. The MMPs used in these pictures are a combination of SFBT, Heblem, Girafe, VIP, orange-o, CP, BSC, NBVC, Chris Adams and funlight. I would recommend searching on these users to get a huge array of MMP items to really customise your cities. --------------------------------------- STATS LANDMARK: Lot size : 1x1 Plop Cost: $ 0 Bulldoze Cost: $ 0 Monthly Cost: $ 0 Landmark Effect: 0 over 0 tiles Mayor Effect: 0 over 0 tiles Pollution: 0 (Air)/ 0 (Water)/ 0 (Garbage ) Pollution Radius: 0/0/0 Power Consumed: -1 Mwh Water Consumed: 0 Gal/Month --------------------------------------- NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE: Each dependency contains TWO model files; one for dark nite users and one for the standard Maxis nite.

Modern Villa 4, by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- Made after a request in the 'Bat Request Thread', this is a purely fictional design for the fifth in a series of Modern Villas. Apart from the few Hollywood-hills style R$$$ homes that come with the base game, and a smattering of custom content (if you want top quality, search on girafe's user name), it is an area that has largely been ignored. Typically the modern villa is something of a compound: numerous projections create enclosed, intimate spaces. High masonry walls and hedges protect pools and indoor/outdoor areas from prying eyes. The materials palette is usually understated - monochromatic white/dark grey plaster, zinc, wood, marble and stone. This particular design features a U shaped building that encloses the pool (this becomes the main feature of the interior spaces). There are multiple outdoor entertaining areas, and a sedum-planted roof. Hedges of tall cypress trees cocoon the lots from neighbour boundaries and planting in rows create uniformity of street-scape. These sorts of houses are something of an international style: they can be found in coastal/city/mountain locations across the globe. They grow on the modern Houston and Euro tilesets only and are modded so as not to become too weedy. Like all of my work, these are suited to both CAM and non CAM cities alike. A building-family ploppable, MMP version will be available shortly which will contain all of the series of villas. --------------------------------------- STATS R$$$: Lot size : 3x3 and 4x3 Growth Stage: 3 (Low, Medium & High Density Zoning) Bulldoze Cost: $ 192 Capacity Satisfied: R$ 106 R$$ 60 R$$$ 28 Pollution: 1 (Air)/ 1 (Water)/ 4 (Garbage ) Pollution Radius: 5/6/0 Power Consumed: 4 Mwh Water Consumed: 8 Gal/Month Building Style: Houston and Euro Occupant Group: High Wealth Residential Building --------------------------------------- NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE: This download contains TWO model files; one for dark nite users and one for the standard Maxis nite.

Modern Villa 3, by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- Made after a request in the 'Bat Request Thread', this is a purely fictional design for the fourth in a series of Modern Villas. Apart from the few hollywood-hills style R$$$ homes that come with the base game, and a smattering of custom content (if you want top quality, search on girafe's user name), it is an area that has largely been ignored.

The materials palette is usually understated - monochromatic white/dark grey plaster, zinc, wood, marble and stone. This particular design features double height living spaces with a dramatic, curved staircase that is visible through the glass. Secondary bedrooms are downstairs; the principal bedroom overlooks the pool with a glass-edge to create an infinity effect to the garden. There are multiple outdoor entertaining areas, and a sedum-planted roof. Hedges of tall cypress trees cocoon the lots from neighbour boundaries and planting in rows create uniformity of street scape. These sorts of houses are something of an international style: they can be found in coastal/city/mountain locations across the globe.

Ultra Modern Road, Avenue and Pedestrian Lane Glass Canopies

Ultra Modern Road, Avenue and Pedestrian Lane Canopies, by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- One of the things that is quite difficult to achieve in SC4 is roads and areas of a city tile that convey a 'sense of place'. In almost all cities and large towns the main shopping streets, cultural precincts and prominent thoroughfares usually have their own immediately recognisable style; whether it is from architecture or street trees and street furniture. That is the genesis behind this series of canopies: to denote a stronger sense of place at street level while being functional. This second set of canopies is based on a striking ultra modern, layered and tinted glass panel design. There are 3 lots in this download, and each is functional. * A road-top bus stop. This lot occupies a 1x1 tile and is overhanging so that canopies can be placed adjacent to eachother all along the roadway; * An avenue-top bus stop. This lot occupies a 2x1 tile and is overhanging so that canopies can be placed adjacent to eachother all along the avenue; * A functional pedestrian-only laneway. This lot is 1x4 tiles long and must be joined to the road/street network and/or the NAM ped-mall pieces. --------------------------------------- IT IS IMPORTANT TO TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING POINTS: * While road-top/avenue-top bus stops can be safely placed next to a commercial building without any issues, they cannot be placed adjacent to a residential lot or you will get a no-car-zot. This is limitation of the game and I cannot do anything about this. The exception to this rule is where the residential lot is wider than the road-top bus stop: so for instance, if you place a 1x1 road-top bus stop next to a 4x4 apartment block, the apartment block will be fine, but if it is next to a 1x2 row house, then the row house will abandon because of no car access. * The functional pedestrian laneway is NOT a ped-mall; it is simply a pedestrian enabled lot. If you connect two of these lots directly together, SIMs will be unlikely to cross them (that is why a ped-mall piece is used to connect lots). --------------------------------------- The bus stops are found in the misc transit menu and have a capacity of 50,000 (and support all types of vehicles: pedestrian, bus, car, freight). The pedestrian laneway is found in the Landmark menu and provides a few jobs. --------------------------------------- STATS PEDESTRIAN LANEWAY: Lot size : 1x4 Bulldoze Cost: § 40 Plop Cost: § 100 Capacity Satisfied: CS§ 4, CS§§ 3 Pollution: 1 (Air)/ 1 (Water)/ 4 (Garbage ) Pollution Radius: 5/6/0 Power Consumed: 1 Mwh Water Consumed: 4 Gal/Month Occupant Group: Medium Wealth CS; Landmark --------------------------------------- STATS BUS STOP: Lot size : 1x1 (Road), 2x1 (Avenue) Bulldoze Cost: § 10 Plop Cost: § 150 Jobs: § 2 Capacity: 50,000 Pollution: 1 (Air)/ 1 (Water)/ 1 (Garbage ) Pollution Radius: 1/1/0 Power Consumed: 1 Mwh Water Consumed: 0 Gal/Month TSEC: 0.02 Monthly Cost: § 5 Occupant Group: Transport, Bus, Strikable Transit, Bus Stop, MiscTransit --------------------------------------- NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE: This is simply a tinted, layered glass canopy which will allow some of the street light details through the many layers of glass: therefore only one model is required. --------------------------------------- DEPENDENCIES: here are no dependencies required for this lot. --------------------------------------- To install, simply unzip the contents of this file into your plugins folder.- 6 Reviews

Pfizer Laboratory by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- As the world waits for the roll-outs of vaccines to combat the effects of the pandemic and enjoy a return to a semblance of normal life, I thought I would make a BAT of one of the companies responsible. There are many companies making vaccines around the globe: Pfizer is one of them. This is based on one of the massive facilities in Andover MA (it is not a recreation, as that would take about 40 tiles)... Despite being scaled back considerably, this is still a massive IHT Bat by SC4 standards, and the complex angles help break the grid. The building is offered as an I-HT growable Anchor on an 8x8 lot (use the CTRL key while zoning dense industrial to assist in growth) or download Buggis extra cheats to make this ploppable from a drop down menu. It is suited to both CAM and non-CAM cities and provides 292 Hi Tech jobs. --------------------------------------- STATS I-HT: Lot size : 8x8 Growth Stage: 3 (High Density Zoning) Bulldoze Cost: $ 417 Capacity Satisfied: I-HT 1,508 Pollution: 21 (Air)/ 8 (Water)/ 6 (Garbage ) Pollution Radius: 6/7/0 Power Consumed: 157 Mwh Water Consumed: 147 Gal/Month Occupant Group: Industrial Hi-Tech Anchor Building --------------------------------------- NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE: There are two model files in this download. You must select the appropriate file from the download. The file suffixed with 'DN' is for those users with a night-time darkening mod installed. The file suffixed with 'MN' is for users who do not have any such mods installed. If you are unsure whether you have a night-darkening mod installed, then choose the Maxis night version. If you use the dark nite version, you will need a dark nite mod.

Burberry Chicago, by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- A request from a fellow SC4 player, Burberry Chicago is an eye-catching little W2W building. A nice segue to the recent Japanese Bats that I released recently with their highly decorative facades, the Burberry Chicago flag-ship store shows that this facade trend is certainly not limited to the Ginza shopping strip in Tokyo. The Burberry flag-ship store uses highly polished and reflective surfaces in the classic tartan (or check) style that is associated with the Burberry label, but these are rotated on a 45 degree angle across a black backdrop for maximum impact. To further enhance the drama, blue LED lighting is contained within the edges of the polished layers, which, when reflected and refracted by steel, mirror and glass, create an ethereal, other-worldly glow. I have taken some liberties with the building. Polished surfaces are particularly challenging in SC4 (as the game doesn't actually have its own rendering engine). Additionally, the minute scale of SC4 buildings mean that some of the details were omitted completely, to achieve the watery, reflective look of the building both during the day and the night. It is offered as a growable only CS§§§ 2x1 and 1x2 covering both corner lots. If you want it as a ploppable, search for buggis extra cheats which will make it, plus every other building in game available to plop from a drop down menu. --------------------------------------- STATS CS§§§: Lot size : 1x2, 2x1 Growth Stage: 4 & 5 (Medium & High Density Zoning) Bulldoze Cost: § 349 Capacity Satisfied: CS§ 250, CS§§ 65, CS§§§ 28 Pollution: 1 (Air)/ 1 (Water)/ 4 (Garbage ) Pollution Radius: 5/6/0 Power Consumed: 8 Mwh Water Consumed: 68 Gal/Month Building Style: Chicago, New York, Houston, Euro Occupant Group: High Wealth CS --------------------------------------- NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE: There are two model files in this download.

GAP Tokyo, by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- This is a large Wall to wall (W2W) building from the main shopping street in Tokyo's Ginza district that caught my eye. This prominent flagship retailer makes the perfect candidate for a CS§§§ building to help soak up the insatiable demand that SC4 has for Commercial Services. I liked the blue coloured glass surrounding the main entrance and the uniquely delicate, and complex, metal screen that has been applied to the exterior facade. I took liberties with this mesh to give it a more sweeping and organic appearance, so it is not a strict recreation but is a recognisable interpretation. Likening me to a child, this model was described by one 'batter' as a "simple square cardboard box" as opposed to his "heavy industrial equipment". And just like watching amateur hour, I had a really good laugh at (not with) that, enough to actually include it in the descriptive text for this download. Notably for western city builders, I have pared back any overtly Japanese imagery to ensure that this building will work equally well in either an Eastern or a Western styled city. In the real building, the party walls are blank, but I have included windows in this version to enable the building to work well in either a W2W streetscape or in a more open downtown environment where you don't want to see a big blank wall! At 13 floors, this will still blend in with older, traditional streetscapes (as per the pictures which show a variety of new and old BATs) and is offered as a growable 2x2 lot for both corners zoned medium and high density zones. It grows on the Houston tileset only to ensure that this "simple square cardboard box" does not become weedy. --------------------------------------- STATS CS§§: Lot size : 2x2 Growth Stage: 6 (Medium & High Density Zoning) Bulldoze Cost: § 760 Capacity Satisfied: CS§ 981, CS§§ 247, CS§§§ 101 Pollution: 6 (Air)/ 4 (Water)/ 8 (Garbage ) Pollution Radius: 5/6/0 Power Consumed: 28 Mwh Water Consumed: 251 Gal/Month Building Style: Houston Occupant Group: High Wealth CS --------------------------------------- NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE: There are two model files in this download.

Whoop Ass Factory, by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- While the product, "Whoop Ass" Hot Steak Sauces are real, this Factory BAT is purely fictional. Even though the building draws inspiration from real life food manufacturing factories and with its attached office/showroom is completely plausible, the building is not meant to be a 'serious' creation, but a bit of fun....more along the lines of, and in the same vein as, Simgoober's Fukitol Factory. SC4 is a game, after all. This is an I-M Anchor for an 8x8 lot. To help get it (and other MEGA industrial lots) to grow, use the CTRL key while zoning, or just make it ploppable by downloading Buggis extra cheats. It is suitable for CAM and non-CAM players alike. I have modded it so that it shouldn't grow like a weed...however that depends on what else you have in your plugins to compete with these large I-M lots. Some folks might consider a good song to accompany this bat would be Johnny Cash: "The Ring of Fire". --------------------------------------- STATS I-M: Lot size : 8x8 (Use the CTRL key when zoning) Growth Stage: 3 (High Density Zoning) Bulldoze Cost: §274 Capacity Satisfied: IM§§ 1,134 Pollution: 45 (Air)/ 30 (Water)/ 7 (Garbage ) Pollution Radius: 9/12/0 Power Consumed: 46 Mwh Water Consumed: 677 Gal/Month Occupant Group: Industrial Manufacturing Anchor Building --------------------------------------- NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE: There are two model files in this download.

Downtown Hotel, by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- A slim-line, 16 story, mid-rise ultra-modern infill building that is typically seen in many cities. Designed with aluminium paneling to the set-back areas, protruding atrium style double- and triple-height reflective windows to common areas and penthouse suites, this building also has a nod to the traditional with raised colonial revival 'X' detailing to the concrete wall panels. It is both generic and eye-catching enough to become a modern classic in your downtown areas. The building is fictional and I designed it to easily soak up some of the CS§§ demand that comes with larger cities. The building comes two growable 3x2 and 2x2 lots both are medium-wealth Commercial Services Lots. These grow on all tilesets. --------------------------------------- STATS CS§§: Lot size: 2x2 Growth Stage: 7 (Medium and High Density Zoning) Bulldoze Cost: § 900 Capacity Satisfied: CS§ 1,494, CS§§ 376 Pollution: 14 (Air)/ 9 (Water)/ 18 (Garbage ) Pollution Radius: 6/7/0 Power Consumed: 30 Mwh Water Consumed: 362 Gal/Month Building Style: Chicago/NY/Houston/Euro Occupant Group: Medium Wealth Commercial Services Building --------------------------------------- NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE: There are two model files in this download.

Hua Seng Enterprises Inc, by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- Hua Seng Enterprises Inc is a fictional glass, concrete and steel mid-rise and draws its inspiration from the massive boom in Chinese building construction over the last decade. It is a 8 story building (including the mechanical penthouse) with multiple projections, double-height spaces and building set-backs to provide a lot of visual interest. Like most of my work, I have drawn it to a more internationally-stylised centre, so it will work equally well in both Asian cities and western styled ones. Sitting on an 8x3 lot, this will grow if you use the CTRL key while zoning, but it will not grow very often (the game will prefer to break the zone into two 4x3 or four 2x3 lots). The lot size of 8x3 is important, as once this has grown, it should upgrade to the previously released file, PinYin Enterprises (assuming you haven't marked the lot as historical): additionally, 8 is an auspicious number in Chinese, meaning 'to prosper', and 3, is also a good number, meaning 'life', so an 8x3 lot in Chinese is the equivalent of zoning for a "prosperous life". If you want it as a ploppable, I suggest using Buggis extra cheats which will enable you to place this, and indeed every C and I growable lot in your plugins (including Maxis buildings), as a functioning ploppable lot. The building is a CO§§§ office which provides 1,117 jobs. --------------------------------------- STATS CO§§§: Lot size : 8x3 Growth Stage: 6 (Medium and High Density Zoning) Bulldoze Cost: § 461 Capacity Satisfied:Co§§§ 1,117, Co§§ 1,682 Pollution: 7 (Air)/ 7 (Water)/ 4 (Garbage ) Pollution Radius: 6/7/0 Power Consumed: 48 Mwh Water Consumed: 519 Gal/Month Building Style: Chicago/NY/Houston/Euro Occupant Group: Commercial Offices Building --------------------------------------- NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE: This download contains TWO model files; one for dark nite users (and other night-time darkening mods, such as Gizmos night-mod) and one for the standard Maxis nite.

PinYin Enterprises Pty Ltd, by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- PinYin Enterprises is a fictional dark glass and steel structure, but it draws its inspiration from the massive boom in chinese building construction over the last decade, many of which use characters of the alphabet or fortuitous words as the basis of the building design. This building is based on such a premise. 'PinYin' simply refers to using Latin characters to represent pronunciation. In addition, the red backing of the company sign represents prosperity and joy. It is a 20 story building in heavily tinted brown and black glass. To break up the facade, multiple green-space projections, balconies and a large raised green-roof platform stop this from being a simple glass-tower-box and add much needed visual interest. Like most of my work, I have drawn it to a more internationally-stylised centre, so it will work equally well in both Asian cities and western styled ones. Sitting on an 8x3 lot, this will grow if you use the CTRL key while zoning, but it will not grow very often (the game will prefer to break the zone into two 4x3 lots), which is fine as this isn't the sort of building that you want growing everywhere. If you want it as a ploppable, I suggest using Buggis extra cheats which will enable you to place this, and indeed every C and I growable lot in your plugins (including Maxis buildings), as a functioning ploppable lot. The building is a CO§§§ office tower which provides 2,620 jobs. --------------------------------------- STATS CO§§§: Lot size : 8x3 Growth Stage: 6 (High Density Zoning) Bulldoze Cost: § 1,219 Capacity Satisfied: CS§§§ 2,620, CS§§ 3,745 Pollution: 15 (Air)/ 15 (Water)/ 6 (Garbage ) Pollution Radius: 6/7/0 Power Consumed: 105 Mwh Water Consumed: 1,138 Gal/Month Building Style: Chicago/NY/Houston/Euro Occupant Group: Commercial Offices Building --------------------------------------- NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE: This download contains TWO model files; one for dark nite users (and other night-time darkening mods, such as Gizmos night-mod), suffixed DN and one for the standard Maxis nite, suffixed MN.

Niche Moderne, by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- A little over a year ago I made this boxy, mid-rise, modern infill building that is typically seen in many cities (often as a co-sharing space) in order to test making green roofs with nothing more than height, cut-out and other composite bitmaps in 3dsMax. Though fictional, it is designed a la mode with aluminium panelling, protuding light-box style double- and triple-height windows clad in timber slats, a large roof terrace and a green roof featuring golden sedums and dry meadow grasses to help give this building a 5 or even 6-star environmental rating. The building comes two growable corner 3x4 lots ensuring that it shouldn't become too weedy: a high-wealth Commercial Office lot and a high-wealth Commercial Services Lot. Use the CTRL key while zoning to enable ease of development. These mid-rises grow on all tilesets. --------------------------------------- STATS CO§§§: Lot size : 3x4 Growth Stage: 5 (Medium and High Density Zoning) Bulldoze Cost: § 492 Capacity Satisfied:CO§§ 877, CO§§§ 614 Pollution: 3 (Air)/ 3 (Water)/ 4 (Garbage ) Pollution Radius: 6/7/0 Power Consumed: 25 Mwh Water Consumed: 278 Gal/Month Building Style: Chicago/NY/Houston/Euro Occupant Group: High Wealth Commercial Offices Building STATS CS§§§: Lot size : 3x4 Growth Stage: 4 (Medium and High Density Zoning) Bulldoze Cost: § 492 Capacity Satisfied:CS§ 1,968, CS§§ 494, CS§§§ 200 Pollution: 13 (Air)/ 8 (Water)/ 17 (Garbage ) Pollution Radius: 6/7/0 Power Consumed:56 Mwh Water Consumed: 498 Gal/Month Building Style: Chicago/NY/Houston/Euro Occupant Group: High Wealth Commercial Services Building --------------------------------------- NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE: This download contains TWO model files; one for dark nite users (and other night-time darkening mods, such as Gizmos night-mod - Suffixed DN) and one for the standard Maxis nite (suffixed MN).

Convention Center, by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- Though fictional, this building is inspired by some of the modern architecture of China which shows an amazing combination of self-assuredness, ebullience and seemingly gravity-defying engineering. Sitting on a 6x6 lot, this is a large building with the lower three floors alone providing almost 8,000m2 of floor space per floor. At its highest point, the building is 8 stories tall. There is also a combination of exhibition halls (including high-clearance spaces), conference rooms, cafeterias and indoor/outdoor spaces. The entire building is arranged around a pleasant, treed central courtyard There are very few Convention Center buildings available for SC4, and even fewer that are actually *modded* as a Convention Center. This building provides some much-needed competition in that space. This BAT functions as a reward-lot and Convention Center in game. In addition to providing your sims with 154 highly desirable civic jobs, it will massively help alleviate the commercial demand caps that can hinder city development by giving an additional CAP relief of 270,000 CO§§ and 270,000 CO§§§ jobs in the region. Given the way that the game is designed, in addition to providing health, education, safety, etc, using rewards is an absolutely necessary part of being able to develop large cities and regions. * It is offered as a reward without needing to meet pre-existing conditions. * It is located in the REWARD Menu * It can be placed more than once in a city. * It DOES NOT over-write the ingame Convention Center (or any re-lotted versions there-of), so can be used in conjunction with the standard Maxis Convention Center reward. --------------------------------------- STATS: Lot size : 6 x 6 Plop Cost: §47,000 Monthly Cost: §220 Budget Item: Government Buildings Occupant Groups: Reward, Convention Crowd, Burning Dude Maker Demand Created: Jobs§: 108, Jobs§§: 40, Jobs§§§: 6. Landmark Effect: +200 over 64 tiles Pollution: Air 3 over 2 tiles, Water 2 over 2 tiles, Garbage 25 over 2 tiles Power consumed: 59 MwH Water consumed: 71 Gallons/Month Bulldoze Cost: §3,280 --------------------------------------- NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE: This download contains TWO file types in two separate folders; one for dark nite users (and other night-time darkening mods, such as Gizmos or Mashty's night-mods) and one for the standard Maxis nite. You must choose only one file - depending on which version you use. If you are unsure whether you have a night-darkening mod installed, then choose the Maxis night version. If you use the dark nite version, you will need a dark nite mod. (https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/23089-simfox-day-and-nite-modd/) --------------------------------------- DEPENDENCIES: This lot does not require external dependencies. --------------------------------------- NOTE ABOUT PARKING TEXTURES: This building deliberately does not come with parking textures, so that you can use your own parking lots adjacent to the lot, thus making it useful in both urban and suburban settings. If you wish to add parking textures, please do so using the lot editor. --------------------------------------- To install, simply unzip the contents of this file into your plugins folder. Thanks. -

Oran-Nayar-Blinn Research Center, by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- I really like the in-game research center, but I dislike the fact that it generates radiation, reduces residential desirability, lowers your mayor rating and is something of a NIMBY building. It seems like a lot of sacrifice for the benefit of increasing High Tech Industry (IHT) demand and desirability. So, I've made another research facility which has all of the benefits with none of the draw-backs. The Oran-Nayar-Blinn Research facility is a strikingly designed ultra-modern building situated on a leafy 7x7 campus-styled lot. It is just as suited to the middle of an industrial area as it is in a suburban or ex-urban space. In addition to providing your sims with many highly desirable civic jobs, it will help alleviate the IHT demand caps that can hinder city development (by increasing IHT demand by 130,000 places). It has also been modded to provide some residential and commercial cap relief by providing both Park and Landmark effects. All these benefits do have a cost (which is only fair). In addition to the §25K outlay, this will set the city back §250 per month. * It is offered as a reward without needing pre-existing conditions. * It is located in the REWARD Menu. * It can be placed more than once in a city. * It DOES NOT over-write the in-game Advanced Research Center (or any re-lotted versions there-of), so can be used in conjunction with the standard Maxis reward. Placing rewards is an essential part of growing a large city and region, given their cap-busting and desirability increasing effects. --------------------------------------- STATS: Lot size : 7 x 7 Plop Cost: §25,000 Monthly Cost: §250 Budget Item: Government Buildings Occupant Groups: Reward, TV Magnet, YIMBY Demand Created: Jobs§: 0, Jobs§§: 523, Jobs§§§: 274. Landmark Effect: +125 over 37 tiles Park Effect: +15 over 37 tiles Mayor Rating: +30 over 220 tiles Pollution: Air 20 over 2 tiles, Water 30 over 3 tiles, Garbage 60 over 0 tiles Power consumed: 131 MwH Water consumed: 358 Gallons/Month Bulldoze Cost: §10,480 --------------------------------------- NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE: This download contains TWO model files; one for dark nite users (and other night-time darkening mods, such as Gizmos night-mod) and one for the standard Maxis nite. You must keep only one file - depending on which version you use. If you are unsure whether you have a night-darkening mod installed, then choose the Maxis night version. Regardless of which file you choose to keep, make sure you DO NOT delete the Lot File! If you use the dark nite version, you will need a dark nite mod.
