I didn't made any B.A.T. yet, I'm still in the tutorials, but still I can help

Thats creepy! I had the nearly the same idea a few days before your posting

I was thinking about the idea of a union of all SC4 gamecontent-designers to create a simply new simcity based on the experciences we`ve all made with batting, lot-editing, prop-designing and so on...

A Joint Venture of all SC4-Batters,Lot-Designers etc. (e.g. BSC, PegProd, SFBT)

the idea is not new, if you look at Simmars MOD it is already somehow futuristic. remove the terrain mods and you can go with it.

but we cant make a new style, we have to use the 4 already existent, as the styles are hardcoded on the exe. file. but there is workaround for that.

I don't like the idea of making all HD. it would take a lot more space, resources, and there are some bugs known to large models being on HD I thing.

yeah i know this idea not new & if we search in lex or stex & also simpeg..
bat or lot for this style already create in very long time ago..
example like simmars.. simmars idea really awesome went i see the video trailer in simcity 3000
but in the end our members from outside of the maxis have to create it self coz no news from maxis to make it reality..
and now went we rollback & see it simmars idea... it like lost his direction.. no new idea.. seem like no support from player
actually i like the simmars idea.. but the red dirt planet not suit with my gameplay..
feel like i built up my city at somewhere at hell (hahahahahahaahaha)

went recheck back all my plug in HD version... yes hd file take lots of space.. & somehow.. make gameplay become slow..
hd or not.. most important is.. to make new style or new Future Architecture world for simcity4..
maybe this architecture concept from movies.. or game.. like starwars or starcraft or whatever.. all wrap together

err.. who want to lead this project hehehehe...

[gn_leugim]

I am not available for such project, let alone to lead it. I barely have time to do my Batting\lotting\modding, so no, not going for it for now.

Now, I have an idea for the leader. you could be it, after all, it is you who are putting some momentum on it to make it happen, or want it to became real. So you are the most fit for it. but also, you should be part of it by doing works of it too.

hurmm yes i know i m who put in this idea... i also have to be part to make this idea become reality.. but... im affraid it will take a long time coz i have to learn how to make bat file.. i dont have experaince with this software... before this.. im just sim4 playe who download plug in & play it

that is how many of us started just by plug and playing with SC4 to begin with 

[Terring7]

Let's make it into a different way. How about anarchism? No need for leadership and rules, just a mutual-based team that works without the need of a leader. Only "leader" and only "rules" will be our goal

yeahh... i like... hehehe.. where like button??? hehehe..

so where we want to start... what a building in our target to make a new future @ futuristic style... hospitality? education?

[Terring7]

We need first to choose a theme. It will be an utopian city?



A cyberpunk city?



Something between? Or maybe it will be a free project, where everybody can create anything he/she wish?

[zulhirosue]

errr.... what a different with this cyberpunk city & utopian? how about this... what concept for this city?? from my view.. cyberpunk is more to dark n dirty... & utopian more the green city....

Another Concept

i more prefer to both style.. in commercial n resident more to Utopian but.. industrial direct to Cyberpunk... how about others?

[Terring7]

We can use both utopian and cyberpunk elements for the cities. We can make, for example, cyberpunk ghettos and utopian mansions.

Please make the civic buildings match as well.  When I drive through Gary Indiana(murder capital of the US for much of the 1990's through 2006, only dropped off the list because the population fell below 100K), every house and civic building has bars on the windows and security doors, yet in a neighboring city, there are no such features on buildings.

yeah we try to make it firstly in civic building... but how about you also give us idea style & architecture for type of this building

Here is a picture of an older school in Gary, which is now in a really bad part of town

It has roll down security bars over the windows that get lowered every day after school lets out.

Another older civic building(church) that has long been abandoned and neglected(another common feature in ghettos, buildings falling down, something that has been lacking in SC4 IMO)


A currently abandoned school(the boards on the windows were there BEFORE the school was closed incidentally)
