Hello all!
I want to make buildings for the Colossus Addon Mod. Eventually, I would like to add forestry industry for IR stages 2-8, hotels and urban malls for commercial services, and a few skyscrapers. In order to do this, I need to learn how to use the BAT. I have only used the Lot Editor and modding tools for other (3D) games. I also need to learn which growth stages, lot sizes, and occupant types have the least variety. I will only make buildings in the NYC and Huston styles.
Feedback, (links to) tutorials, suggestions, and tips would all be appreciated.
I might as well show what I have made recently (rendered in orthographic mode at arbitrary angles that look good)
A tropical Art Deco skyscraper office (or mixed use) building:

A garish tropical hotel made by altering the skyscraper

An older project I temporarily abandoned: a supertall, sandstone, ersatz Empire State Building (with a dramatic perspective)

Now back to studying for my semester finals!
Hi Ocram,
New BATters are always welcomed!
I will not be able to help you with BATting, because I know zilch about that, but there are others who do.
I could help you with lotting though.
Now your first images look promising, so I will await further development.
But first of all: succes with your semester finals. :thumbsup:
Indeed, it's always nice to see people pick up BAT, I recently started BATting as well!! :) :thumbsup:
The first outlines of the skyscrapers are pretty impressive already, looking forward to see additional detailing & texturing.
Good luck with your finals!
