Another medieval creation from me.

It`s a medieval R$$ wealth home.

enjoy it

This is a residential tower inspired on those huge towers built in Hong Kong.
It has 70 floors and is a R$$$ growable and also a landmark

quote:

This is one of my favorite designs to date; it is based on the Colonial designs found throughout the Southern US. There are 4 variations on the model. I also did something a little different, and made a "model" home, as a plop lot. It has minor park effects, to help boost residential demand in the surrounding area.

READ THE README!!!!! Dont your Sims deserve a good airport. One with plenty of take off and landing room and a ultra modern terminal where passengers can rest in comfort before their flights. Well then you need the Airport pack. This is Version 1.3 Refer to the manual for all other info. Adds over 40 other new tiles to help you build your airport the way you want it. Enjoy! And check back here often to see more updates i may find a better home for these updates or another way to do it at simtrop but until then track this lot. Airport pack no longer replaces ingame airports and now has a way to operate regionally along with many other new changed in V1.2.

his is a first pack of more ornate bridges for the canal set. More MAY follow.

Important; all of these bridges are fully functional, but for best results, be sure to "draw" the specific transit types (road, rail, etc) across the lot once it is plopped. This enables all game functions on them. Also, for easiest placement, it is best to leave the bridge portion until last; plop the canal sections on either side of the bridge portion first. This will make turning those pieces for alignment simpler.

The Messeturm in Basel is the highest building in Switzerland. It is located next to the Basel fairground. The height of the BAT is exaggerated a bit compared to the original building in order to get a realistic in-game look of the building. The roof junk is not the original, because the aerial photos of Basel show only the structural work of the building.

Description:
Greystone Church originally came form the mind of DuskTrooper, who envisioned a large,
televangelist-style church with a lot of helpful functions behind it, such as

Health, Education, and Demand benefits for the surrounding city.

The Church fits onto a 6x6 lot - it takes up nearly the whole lot, we didn't add a lot of fluff
there. It provides health and education to 20,000 pious Sims. The lot costs §125,000 to
plop, and then §2/month for maintenance. What's that I hear - seperation of church and state?

Provides 15 CO§§ jobs, for the minister, his underlings, and the organ player. (The ushers
are volunteers.) It has a landmark effect of +65 over 64 tiles, as well as a park effect of +45
over 96 tiles.

Lastly, this will boost your EQ by 1000% and your HQ by 550%.
These numbers aren't as big as they seem...

This small museum houses significant, rare documents in the history of promiment NDEX architects like DuskTrooper, EBurress, and Oneil_1. See architectural treasures, kept in their massive computer database as GMAX files.

However, you cannot just walk in. This museum is kept under high security because of the value of the stored designs, and only a few are allowed to enter. However, those select few spread their new knowledge and benefit everybody!

Who knows? Perhaps one day the NDEX vault will open!
This lot functions similarly to the Major Art Museum already in-game. It has slightly reduced capacities. Let's see - it is medium wealth (§§), and comes on a 3x4 lot, with a small parking lot in the back. It costs §1500 to plop, and then §25/month. It provides in Park Effect, +70 over 26 tiles, and in Landmark Effect, +50 over 22 tiles. People like to live and work near such a prestigious museum.... :p Lastly, the lot will boost your local EQ by 50 points, so it appears in the Education Menu. Touchdown!
No dependencies.
Uses the usual NDEX query. Like every other plugin, you unzip the files into your
SimCity 4/Plugins folder.
BTW - nice job, Tragicomicus! I tweaked it a bit from your original version, but I think the changes turned out well. The building was very creative, and I had quite a bit of fun trying to devise a lot to fit around it!

Description:

Now you can extend your Streams with a more Urban look with this 'channelized' add-on for the PEG Stream Kit. Although technically an extension of the Stream Kit, these concrete lined channels evolved during development (feature creep) into their own, stand-alone mini-canal or channel system. They will merge seamlessly with the existing Streams but can also be used all by themselves. The new single tile wide Channels are a great way to have water flowing through your city without sacrificing a lot of real estate.

With the old and stained concrete look, they are grungy enough to look right at home in even the dirtiest industrial area. Yet, with the red tile wall caps, they have that old-world charm & Mediterranean styling that adds class to any residential or commercial area. Very flexible... with 2 styles of corners (square or round), a pedestrian bridge designed for use with the PEG Trail Park & Seasonal Trail Park, a roadway/network bridge and an extender lot to allow passage under elevated rail or highways, these channels can go almost anywhere. They are even mildly slope-tolerant and can traverse up/down smooth, modest slopes.

The kit also includes a Stream Transition lot for a seamless transition to & from the original Streams. Additional lots, including a waterfall and a lock, are being developed for the first add-on to the new style.

The individual lots retain a small taste of park & landmark benefits, however, their desirability values have been greatly reduced. They still provide a taste of the YIMBY, but they won't collectively blow out any caps. Their plop price has also been reduced significantly and maintenance averages $1 a lot/tile.

* These lots have been relocated to the Water Transportation Menu for ease of use.

** The straight, 3x straight and straight Utility lots are slope tolerant and will allow the channels to flow down (or up) modest slopes.

*** All the channel lots fully cover the tile(s) of the lot... so there is no concern about matching adjacent terrain.

** The Stream Channel Kit has no outside dependencies.

This is the 2nd HK Tower Pack. Unlike the 1st Pack this one has some Med Res Towers that are slightly more modern looking. Remember, both the HKTowerPack1 and this 2ndTowerPack buildings will not grow unless you zone dense 2x2 blocks.

I noticed during game play some towers like to grow more than others, to fix this I changed their Res Occupation values so that they were relatively closer to each other on an average. Hopefully this will cause them to grow a little more evenly.

(If anybody has some better ideas to a solution to this please PM me.)

Coming to your local CJ, San Portello is the fabulous Las Venturas. If any of you have noticed there are a poor amount of casinos around in the STEX, and Im here to change that! Second on my great list is the Neyorka Bay Hotel & Casino...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Little Story:

The Neyorka Bay casino & Hotel originally founded itself in the spwaling metropolis of Santa Neyorka, the Casino itself was originally named the Viva Las Neyorka. However, after the thwarted attack of Hurricane Carl, the Casino was left in ruin, but the mayor of the city wasn't going to give up on it.

He set about rebuilding it! And in a few years, Neyorka Bay Hotel & Casino was reborn. And, in it's rebirth, it's sales quadrupoled, and quadrupoled again, until the hotel could stand sales no more. Thus, it went in search for another site, and there it finds itself in Las Ventura.

The hotel found in Las Ventura operatures venues around the clock ranging from Blaze: The Masked Avenger to the Jeronij & Family Stunt Performers, a spectacular show that's been known from San Portello to Columbia River. (Special thanks due for the bolded names).

However, the hotel is suffering the same problem now as it did in Neyorka. Can you help it by building it in your city???

The first of several add-ons for the new CSK Channel Stream Kit. This one is all about moving up and down the terrain and building your channels at different heights. For navigation, that means locks. For simple water flow... waterfalls.

The add-on contains 3 new lots for the CSK. Like all CSK lots, they have been conveniently placed in the Water Transportation Menu. The 3 new lots are:

1. Waterfall Lot - Virtually identical to the PEG Stream Kit waterfall except for the channel sections top & bottom and a new texture on the slope.

2. The Channel Lock - A 1x3 lot that is very similar to the waterfall except for the 2 stage lock in the middle. At different times in the day, the lock will be either filled or partially empty. Channel barges will also appear at the top and bottom of the lock during the day.

3. The Ocean Lock - Similar to the Lock, the lot is only 1x2 and is designed specifically for transitions to game default water. The lock is also a 2-stage model... and barges will appear at the top of the lock.

quote:

Description:

This is the second add-on for the PEG CSK... which is probably why we named it, "Add-On 2". Marketing wanted to go with "CSK 2: The Empire Strikes Back" which does sound cool... but we finally settled for , "A Means to an End" because this pack is all about end pieces for the Channels.

The 5 new lots in this add-on will give you lots of flexibility in adding finished ends to your channels and adding smaller channels or short branches into almost any area. Three of the lots are specifically designed for adding channels in industrial areas and can provide that special "grunge" that no self-respecting industrial area can do without. All lots are 1x1 in size. The 5 new lots are:

1. Standard End Lot - A simple finished End lot with banks to match the other Channel lots. This lot has a very mild YIMBY effect that matches the other channel lots.

2. End Lot with Steps - Similar to the standard End lot, but with contoured steps leading to the water instead of sloped banks. This lot also has a very mild YIMBY effect.

3. Industrial End Lot with Docks - Similar to the standard End lot but with small docks on both sides. Random barges will appear at different times of the day. This lot is designed for industrial settings and has no effect on desirability... either way.

4. Industrial End Lot with Surrounding Dock - Similar to standard End lot but with docks on all three sides. Random barges will appear at different times of the day. This lot is designed for industrial settings and has no effect on desirability.

5. Straight Double-side Dock Section - Okay... its technically not an end section. But it goes well with the industrial End sections or for any straight stretch of channel where you want industrial docks. These can be plopped in-line to create docks as long as you want. Random barges will appear at different times of the day. This lot is designed for industrial settings and has no effect on desirability.

Description:

This is the inevitable evolution of the Channel Stream Kit... a variable width Canal system. You can now mix & match your single tile width CSK Channels with channels & canals you create of any width. Like the CSK lots, the variable width CSK2 lots are styled to blend with all areas of your city and look great in both industrial and recreational zones.

These lots are very similar to the PEG Pond Kit lots and plop in the same manner. Their pricing and YIMBY effects have been reduced substantially, however they still retain the same slope handling abilities of the Ponds and Streams.

This is the 'starter pack'. Numerous add-ons are in development to expand the channel-canal system even further and provide a vast collection of waterway lots for your cities.

There are 7 basic lots in this initial release, which are:

* 1x & 3x Straight Channel Banks - Standard straight channel / canal bank sections.


* 1x & 2x2 Water Sections - Solid water sections that can be used to make your channels as wide as you want.


* 1x Outer Corner - Used to created smooth, finished corners Very flexible and can be used in a variety of ways to joins various lots together


* 1x Inner Corners (Squared & Rounded) - The standard corner sections in two styles; squared and rounded. Together, they can be used to create some uniquely shaped channels and basins.


* Transition Tee to the 1x CSK Channels - Similar to the Outer corner... but with corner sections on both sides. Designed specifically to merge the variable width CSK2 lots with the single-tile width CSK channels.

Description:

We continue our Channel Stream Kit series with this latest add-on subtitled... Go With the Flow. This is a collection of 3 specialty waterfalls to add more variety & glitz to your channel systems while offering more options to allow them to flow down your city's terrain.

The Standard Spillway is very similar to the Stream Kit's original non-texture based waterfall and plops just like the CSK Lock & Waterfall lots. The Spillway is 3 tiles long and self adjusts to any height of slope within its range. As it is not texture-based, it will not stretch to cover extremely high slopes... but it does have a fairly adequate height range of approx. 32 meters.

The Ocean Spillway is a variation of the standard Spillway that can be used to run your channels into game water oceans or rivers. It is only 2 tiles long and plops just like the CSK Ocean Lock lot.

The Garden Waterfall is a unique variation designed to add a bit of eye-catching class to your cities. It has a particularly stunning effect when used where your canals descend into recreational & even commercial areas. Accordingly, it has an increased park & landmark effect equivalent to that of a large park & plaza. It is also night-lighted so your Sims can continue to enjoy it after the sun sets.

Unless your barge captains are adrenalin junkies, we would have to classify these waterfalls as non-navigatable. The spillway falls have warning signs and safety chains to stop channel traffic... and the garden falls could easily be classified as a Class 5 Whitewater adventure.

All 3 lots include a custom waterfall sound effect. They will appear in the Water Transportation Menu along with the other CSK lots. They also have plopping instructions included in the menu descriptions

Description:

Our first add-on pack for the new CSK2 is aptly named as its all about Crossing Over... and getting to the other side. This add-on contains 6 new lots that parrot the Bridge and Extender lots used in the PEG Pond Kit.

The Bridge Lots consists of a left, right and center bridge facade to be used along both sides of a row(s) of blank tiles that cross over the channels. You can then run road, rail, avenues, etc... across those blank tiles and the channel will appear to flow under it..

The Extender Lots work in a similar fashion for use with elevated networks such as monorails or the elevated highways. The extender lots are actually only 1x1 in size, but they also have an offset rendered BAT model that extends to cover a 2nd adjacent tile. This adjacent tile, although covered with the BAT model, is actual blank and therefore networks can run across it.

All of the lots have almost no YIMBY benefit and cost only §1 a month to maintain, Plop costs are also very affordable at §10 - §20 each.

Description:

Do you remember the good old SimCity 2000 era, where microwaves from space were used as sometimes hazardous, but reliable and clean power source in particular? Now, it has finally returned, the microwave power plant, which receives the beam from a satellite that collects the rays of the sun in earth's orbit. The capacity of this facility is equal to the hydrogen power plant, but the other values are the same as the ones from the solar power plant, which makes the microwave power plant an attractive power source, providing the sims with long-lasting, environment-friendly power. But be careful, when the beam misses the receiver, the next fire station shouldn't be too far away! Dependent on the selected difficulty level, the power plant will become available when certain requirements are met (look below for a list), i. e. you'll need the space port in "hard difficulty", since you'll also need a satellite in space that reflects the solar rays to earth first...

You can select the Power Plant version of this lot from the utilities - energy menu and plop it in your city. This BAT has the same statistics like the solar power plant, but far more output. It is a reward lot which has certain requirements, dependent on the difficulty level:

Easy difficulty: available right from the beginning

Medium difficulty: 10,000 residents, 500 high-tech jobs

Hard difficulty: 25,000 residents, 2,000 high-tech jobs, spaceport

This is the first set of lots in the BSC Raised Park series of lots.

This base set of lots contain centre pieces, walls and corners allowing you to build flexible raised parks. The lots (see readem) are modded to act as a combination of Flower Gardens and Plaza's, with the emphasis being on Landmark Effect (to boost commercial demand/growth). The lots will reduce some air pollution, but do use and pollute water.

These lots, and the ones in the associated Rasied Park sets, are based on some ideas I got from Japan. In Shinjuku there are some parks raised above street level. This has the effect of removing much of the traffic noise from the park areas. Connecting these parks to each other and nearby buildings are pedestrian bridges to keep the pedestrian traffic flowing. Finally the Tokyo Government Office building has some amazing stonework at its base emulating some of the magnificent Japanese castles. These were combined into a common set of lots contained in this (and associated) lots.

Full details can be found in the readme. Also see the Rasied Parks tread in the BSC Teamroom forum.

Thansk to sandrasim for the lot beautification and the entire BSC team for help with suggestions/feedback and testing.
