I've been wondering why it hasn't been batted yet. It could be a perfect addition to a halloween cj, or even just a creepy building to use in a city.

If it's made can I be mentioned as far as the one who came up with the idea? And thanks. If it's put on Simtropolis my name there is Ace_f15.

The best way to pique peoples interest is to bost some pics.  Some of us have no idea what you are talking about.

http://whsmemorial.tripod.com/ This site boasts pictures of the sanitorium. Basically, Waverly Hills was a TB hospital that is considered one of the most haunted places if not the most haunted place on the planet. Nearly 65,000 people died in this one location, at one point nearly 50-60 dieing A DAY. The methods used were usually based on guess, becuase the vaccine hadn't been invented yet and it was the times as well, considering it had been built in 1906 and ran during a time when modern medicine was not an option. The building itself is very nice imo, I've been there once and I have to say the aura isn't very nice at all. But the history is definately something, even if you exclude the ghostly activity.

So you want someone to spend hundreds of hours on a bat and you can't  spend time to post the pictures here.  :thumbsdown:

I love abandoned asylums and TB sanatories, though, the one you show isn't one of the most interesting architecturally speaking, there are many nice ones around. Check http://www.opacity.us there are many cool images of such buildings.

The reason I didn't post pictures was becuase that site has more than I can possibly post and actual information on it. I don't care about how good it looks, it's the history that's important. No other Sanatorium on the planet was as ridden in mystery and terror than Waverly Hills. It's one of the oldest asylums in the world and it's definitely one of the most tragic as far as stories. Some kids would sit on a bench watching their parents die in the room next to them, knowing they couldn't do anything about it. It's not really the architecture but the story you can use for it on a cj.

Of course, this is only a suggestion. I just felt like something in America that's well known would be more likely to be used in a bat, and when I saw it wasn't I was kind of confused. But oh well.
