*dusts off thread* *cough cough*
Well, it has been a while since I posted here last time... This time, it is to celebrate a special event. SimCity 4, our favorite game, celebrates its 10th birthday these days, and it has been pretty much exactly 10 years since I got hold of my pre-ordered copy of SC4 Vanilla.
It's unbelievable that this game is still my absolute favorite after such a long time, and even though I didn't have a lot time to play since two or three years, I never dropped out of the community completely. I've seen many others arriving and leaving, some were here just for a very short time, some are here since the very beginning.
And even though the SFBT is far from dead, many great BATters have left us, or they are on an extended hiatus. One of the largest BATs that has been created for the game so far collected dust since quite a while, mainly because it's all but easy to put such a behemoth into the game properly. I'm talking about the
SFBT Lomonossov University, created by Sam Johnson. I'm pretty sure many of you have been waiting for the release, and now, for this special occasion, it's finally done. Due to the sheer size, we had to split the building into three different lots, since the number of props and textures exceeds the limit by far.
For this monster, you need a big city, lots of space, and lots of money, too. The three lots come as a reward, and they are intended to build next to each other to form one giant 32x20 lot. The central building is a replacement for the in-game university, the left wings work as the Major Art Museum, and the right wings are modded as Main City Library. Please refer to the readme file for a complete list of properties, reward requirements, and a tutorial how to build this mega lot. Be sure to provide enough power, water, garbage disposal capacity and the like. We have tested this lot thoroughly, so hopefully everything will work as intended. Enjoy!
