peterycristi's Bats

[Momo95]

GREAT - absolutely GREAT. All your BATs are AMAZING, I just can't wait to see them released - especially the Hotel Bellevue.
By the way, the Hotel Bellevue, in fact, had a less famous twin on the other side of the Ebertstraße, as well facing the Potsdamer Platz, the Palasthotel. The only diffenences where that it had a flatter roof and a large, intensely decorated window instead of the Gable with the hotel's name. Also, there wasn't this huge terrace with the incredible view on the Potsdamer Platz in front of it that the Bellevue was famous for (belle vue = good view), but the Potsdamer Stadttor. The place where this terrace used to be, today is crossed by a road, the Bellevuestraße - what an embarassing reminiscence for such a unique institution  . In difference to the Bellevue (-> Columbushaus), the Palasthotel, remained another 13 years until it burned down in the bomb shower. Because of its newer, elaborated structure of the Columbushaus (one of the very, very few pre-war buildings i really hate - da hat sich Mendelsohn nach dem Einsteinturm [Potsdam, höho ] ja mal nen richtigen Griff ins Klo erlaubt ), it survived the war, but was set on fire in the end of the 50's during the worker's uprisings in the GDR - although it was located in the western part of the city  . One of the very few losses I don't regret. The remaining ruins of the Potsdamer Platz and the neighboring Leipziger Platz (originally divided by the Potsdamer Tor) as well as the remaining buildings in the eastern part finally where demolished for the Berlin Wall, those in the west for new buildings. So, we also lost the "Hotel Fürstenhof", a giant Jugendstil building, the world's largest varieté "Haus Vaterland", the Potsdamer Stadttor, the Warenhaus Wertheim, the Anhalter Bahnhof (hardly damaged in WW2, then destroyed in the 70's  ) and countless others jewels of architecture.
Do you also plan to rebuild some of the great Warenhäuser (ware houses) Berlin was famous for in the 20's, like Karstadt Hermannplatz, Warenhaus Tietz, Kaufhaus Hertie's or the already mentioned Wertheim? Seeing these lost beauties being reborn in SC4 (and ready for download  ) would be incredible.
Concerning all your other models: Meine größte Hochachtung!     

[peterycristi]

Well, here i am again. After very hard laptop problems and being without internet for almost a month i am back on a new PC. Unfortunatelly it will take some time, until i have moved all my sc4 stuff here. You all mentioned various times that not very few of my building have been released until now and i'm very sorry for that. Even there are a lot of them waiting in the sfbt-testcenter. The point is, that i'm not very good in modding and all the works that are necessary for release. Even for my own use i don't take very much care of right settings for my creations. But to change this situation i have to admit that i need help. So the thing is, if anyone feels ready to take my finished modells and work them out to be ready for the LEX, please contact me by PM and i'll try to manage the release with you.

To your question momo95: Of course i thought several times about creating some of the famous warehouses like wertheim and so on. Potsdamer Platz will be very difficult to recreate, so that there are no ideas or works focusing on that spot at the moment. But for example Tietz on Alexanderplatz is a essential building and for that on my list. But a trip to Düsseldorf made me start with something very similar:

Warenhaus Tietz, Königsallee, Düsseldorf today Kaufhof

side view

and back to Berlin: works on café Bauer were going on

not very far from the Bauer was the old headquarter of the Disconto-Gesellschaft, also located on Unter den Linden

new pictures on the net allowed me to start with the police headquaters on Alexanderplatz

and very close to Potsdamer Platz: Palais Borsig on the corner Wilhelmplatz/Vosstraße

and last but not least another building from my recreation zone "government district": the Reichsministry of exterior affairs, located directally next to the old Reichschancellory

hope you enjoyed!

[peterycristi]

Ever thought about doing the Hotel Kaiserhof at Wilhelmsplatz?

well, i know that carlos had planed to do it and who couldn't do it better?

[Girafe]

Looks excellent Peter 

Seems that BSC needs a real structure to help people to mod correctly their stuff before uploading on the LEX...

[noahclem]

These are all fantastic    Great to hear from you again!

[jeckyll]

Amazing job Peter! I hope You will release canal set soon.

It's called PIM-X....honestly without that tool, most of my creations would have languished on my hard-drive. I don't know of any other easy to use way to get a balanced, basic growable or basic functionally-ploppable lot into the game.  Peter, if you need a hand, then I am happy to assist

[WannGLondon]

Wonderful work Peter! And the PIM-X is an awesome tool, I wouldn't be able to play the game without it. 

[peterycristi]

thx for all the nice comments! Meanwhile i was working on a building i don't really need for my MD, but which i felt in love with because of its unice berlin style. The administration building of the Reich Printer was a typical brown brick building of historism. Regarding his function as printer for all paperwork of the empire, like money, passports and so on, it was built in the industrial style. Without doubt the tower in the corner makes this building special. It would be maybe a 4x1 corner building but i shortened it to a 3x1 corner piece, following the only two illustrations you can find on the net.

the only two images of the former Reich Printer...

...and my version so far.

As many other buildings it was destroyed during the second world war and the battle of Berlin. The institution itself still exists until today as the Federal Printer and looks back to a rich history since 1879.
I hope this building will make happy the creators of small towns, middle and eastern european cities and maybe also creators of netherland cities.

saludos

Peter

P.S.: still need help for releasing my stuff!

[DerChrischi]

Hey Peter,
it is so nice to see you back.
My Modding is too bad, but i can play with the Loteditor, if you want that.

[chester]

These buildings are stunnig! 

[kelis]

maybe also creators of netherland cities.

Yes, I agree this  The building looks so good Peter, as always your works are amazing and of course, this will be for sure amazing !!

PD: I can't wait for all your stuff, in this moment I'm not working in my modern Berlin because I have not nothing new to do, But with all yours model I can enjoy recreating once again Berlin 

Greetings my friend 

[RickD]

I like the building very much.
