nycc06 has graciously given us permission to modify his creations for the CAM.
His models and lots will remain unchanged, only the modding will be done in PIM-X and thus become CAMpatible.
Each CAMeLot will be uploaded one-by-one on the LEX, in his name, and include the batted model.
The building and lot will have unique TGI addresses, and thus not conflict with nycc06's earlier uploads on STEX.
However, since his earlier growable and functional ploppable lots are not CAMpatible,
I will also include a Cleanitol file to help with the removal of those if needed.
I'll start the showcase with nycc06's latest creation, which will also be the first one to appear as a CAMeLot...

The Eclipse Tower is a 325 m mixed use hotel and office tower.
nycc06's idea came from inspiration on the planned Ocean One tower, due for construction in Thailand.
In the game it will grow both as an office and as a hotel:
- Eclipse Tower, a stage 9 CAMeLot sized 6×2, with 3,050 CO§§§ jobs
- Hotel Eclipse, a stage 12 CAMeLot sized 6×2, with 980 CS§§§ jobs

A tower from nycc06's CACC series of BATs.
The Austin City Bank Tower is a fictitious building that is the headquarters for the Austin Banking Corporation.
The tower itself is one of 9 towers on the Austin Waterfront development and stands at 301 m.
It is a stage 12 CAMeLot sized 4×4, with 7,500 CO§§§ jobs.

I just want to thank you for taking the time and effort to do this. I am constantly amazed at how much this community is willing to take time out of their busy schedules to bring more progress to this game.

I am under the assumption that lots modded with the PIM-X reflect a more realistic capacity. The default maxis plugin manager is known to suggest the wrong settings for various aspects of a building.

Indeed, it is all based on the volume of the building.
Plopping the buildings next to each other, we'll get a better perception of their sizes compared to each other:

From left to right:
- 4,800 CO§§§ - Alexander Building
- 7,500 CO§§§ - Austin City Bank Tower
- 3,050 CO§§§ - Eclipse Tower
- 5,350 CO§§§ - Oceana Tower
Most notably, the Eclipse Tower has seen a reduction in capacity.
I've turned that building 90° to show how thin that tower in fact is.
Maxis PIM only considers the total width and depth of the bat, which in this case is measured at the lower floors.
From the tallest to the smallest... but still something special. It's an eighteenth birthday release... ::)

it is 47 stories high and stands at 155 meters high.
It is a stage 9 CAMeLot sized 4×4, with 600 CS§§§ jobs.

Finally I give you my secret Christmas project for 2008, the 519 m tall Poseidon Tower.
The tower is another BAT from my New Austin series and is currently under construction in the New Austin Marina District.
When completed in 2011, it will become the second tallest building in the city and the centre piece for the marina development complex.
In terms of the actual BAT itself, I have been looking over comments given on all past projects
and decided to make a few changes to this model to help improve it somewhat.
This included using shinier, reflective windows and improving the realism of the floor gaps.
Also I have made this BAT specifically to be dependency free.
In the game it will grow both as an office and as an apartment tower:
- Poseidon Tower, a stage 13 CAMeLot sized 5×5, with 10,325 CO§§§ jobs
- Poseidon Apartments, a stage 12 CAMeLot sized 5×5, with 6,520 R§§§ residents

This project has been in production for about a week now and was based similarly on another Dubai tower around the Dubai Mall. This tower when completed in 2009 will be another addition to the new Marina development complex in the city of New Austin. The tower itself serves as a luxury 5-star hotel resort overlooking the marina and surrounding bay area.

Mind me if I wake up this old thread... but there's something I want to say directly related to this.
There is a 19th birthday special out (Goldman Sachs). Also, it appears that the CAA tower is not in the LEX collection.
I appreciate the work that nycc06 does in creating these skyscrapers, and the work of RippleJet for making them usable with the CAM =)

The
Goldman Sachs will be camified this weekend. ;)
The
CAA Tower, being a diagonal, cannot as such be made into a growable CAMeLot.
I am working on adding it as a ploppable CO tower though, making it available only if you have the corresponding stage available in CAM and proper demand for it. And I might add a subway station to it as well.

Oups, my mistake... &ops
The top half of the tower is a prop, and it was pointing to the prop that was included in the upload to STEX
in the file Poseidon Tower Top Section-0x6534284a-0xf61d9c6a-0x76558931.SC4Desc.
It should have pointed to the prop that was included in the file Poseidon Tower Models and Props.dat.
Now, that has been corrected and the tower appears correctly at least in my game.
Please
redownload this building (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1909), and rather before you have it growing...
Once it's grown, I don't think you're able to get the top half to show up, since it's just a prop, not a building.
Thank you,
SeanSC4, for reporting this. Otherwise it might never have been fixed.
I also noticed it was reported on the LEX back in October 2009, but I never caught that...
