what are those 3 towers in a row to the right, that look like that old Central Park residential building?

because of the difficulty of zoning 4x4 zones, for a while i didn't think SC4 allowed that(even though in my first cities i'd done it, by accident,) so the 4x4 $$$ commercial towers are pretty rare in MEga, but I got 3 of them to develop on Monday (all 3 are different, too, from the Euro and Houston sets.)
I plan to fix this when Giga City is built.

hmm, the rarest I've seen is the Waco Co., with only one developing, ever, out of two regions.

I've never seen a zone bigger than 4x4.


Here's a one off building in my region of 23 cities and 1.9 million.

I Love this building, but have don't have it in my city.
Can you post rensignements of the building:commercial or residential, etc.:?

mlm
December 12th, 2003, 02:41 PM
Sure, it's on a 4x4 lot, the reason why so few people live there is that it was recently abandonned but lukaly it "normal" again:)

I just got 5 buildings I don't see very often (well only 2 different, but 5 of them). It's a very small and very dense new Beachcity I just made:

that's a hell of a cluster up there mlm :eek:

I've seen that residential in one of my cities........seems very rare though......can't seem to get it in any other city........maybe it's a regional thing that allows certain structures? :dunno:

mlm
December 15th, 2003, 09:30 PM
I've only seen it one or two times too, maybe the area needs to be very dense.

thanks :okay:


and no, most are avenues because I had serious problems with traffic, and the mass transportations wasn't enough, even my highways, more then 5 by city have a heave traffic already, the commercial city is hiper movimented, because it is only comercial/office and it has about 400.000 jobs, so it is quite big.
I'll post some pics of this city.

:okay:

that big one you think isn't realistic, yeah, it's not as nicely drawn as the others, but having seen the "real version" almost every day for 5 years, I find it REALLY realistic

http://threatcon.net/~steves/southtrust.JPG

cool, some I haven't seen before.

and that last one you don't know where it's from, I've gotten like 6 in my latest suburb.

I think it's based on the Park Row building in NYC, or at least another Central Park area residential tower.
