Hi

What civic buildings can be used with the CAM are there any you recommend on the BSC Lex.

thanks and have a good christmas to all.

Hey there! I realize that you probably need permission to do so, but I would love to see this new building added recently on the STEX as a CAMeLot! This building wants to be in my city, but I don't want to add more stage 8 CO buildings into the mix, as it is recommended to take them all out, isn't it? Anyway, just a request! 

Aon Center

Actually, I believe that permission is only required if you include the model in the upload, or you use the original lot. But if a new lot were created, modified to CAM standards with XTool, then the lot could be uploaded, with the building model listed as a dependency.
Until the XTool is finalized for release, it is possible to tweak buildings in Ilive's Reader program, to modify growth stage and capacity, though it would only be an estimate (or the values that you would want for the building).
I've done this for a couple of Residential lots, making them Stage 15 R$$$'s, just to make sure that my CAM cities would support the growth.

[pkremer]

Is this something I would be able to do myself?  What is the X tool, and could I even get it if I wanted?  I would be very happy to make buildings into CAMeLots if I knew how to do so! 

[BarbyW]

As yet the X Tool is not on public release but we have hopes that wouanagaine will have it ready in the not too distant future.
Until it is available you can ask for lots for your use to be made for you. All you need to do is say which models you would like CAMelots of and one of us will make a bare lot for you to prop yourself.

I hope you had a merry christmas as well! At least I did!

Basically, you can use any available civic buildings with the CAM.
However, if you're aiming for huge skyscraper cities, then you might want some bigger ones.

And if you want civic buildings with capacities and other properties in line with those that Maxis made, I'd recommend the following recent uploads:

Simgoober Education Lots BSC
SG Health BSC
Taunton State Hospital
Mattb325 Bathurst St Police Station
Mattb325 Eastern Hill Fire Station

I was testing out a new CAMeLot today and look what grew for me



One of the SOMY I-HT lots - the 4x7  See they do grow.

[SC4BOY]

WOOOOT!! You go girl! .. you just posted that so I wouldn't ask you later, didn't you? hehe...

[xxdita]

OK, now I'm jealous Barby. Is this with CAM 1.0 though or a beta?

[RippleJet]

Thank you, Barby!

I hate to spoil your fun  but this picture was posted somewhere else by Loerelau:





I don't know if he plopped it or grew it but he wrote it was stage 10.

[BarbyW]

Not spoiling my fun, LoneRanger. I was just pleased to see this rare building appear. There have been many questions about the SOMY CAMelots so I just showed one that had grown.
Where was this picture posted?

[LoneRanger]

Ah ok, didn't know about the trouble getting somy's to grow. 

It was posted at gathering.tweakers.net wich is mainly a [dutch] tech forum and "we" got a small corner devoted to SC4.

Forth picture in that reply.
Loerelau is a member here too. [same person, same nick]

[BarbyW]

Thanks for the link, LoneRanger. I wish I could read the Dutch

[xxdita]

Thank you, Barby!


It's with beta 1.0.2

At least there's hope for me to see it grow, as soon as 1.1 is released anyway. 

[wouanagaine]

Thank you, Barby!


It's with beta 1.0.2

Damn where is 1.0.2 I'm sticked with 1.0.1

Barby's harddisk...

Barby, I was thrilled when I saw you had CAMeLotted the new NVIDIA Center!

I don't suppose you might be willing to CAMeLot this new Simtropolis creation, the Aon Center?  It is a stage 8 building I am assuming, and I was hoping not to add new stage 8 buildings with the CAM installed.  Any chance?  I would love to do it myself, but I simply don't know how! 

Thanks! 

[BarbyW]

I would relot it for CAM but I can't download at the moment as the sTEX is odd again. No images and an error message when I try to download.
