Another download from Sam Johnsson is out. Hope you like it but I guess you are waiting for another one that is not ready yet ...

SFBT Severnoye Blocks by Sam Johnsson


These Severnoye apartment blocks were modeled after real buildings in the Russian town of Murmansk. Its design is one of the most common types in the former Soviet Union. This download includes three differently sized buildings that grow on six lots (three normal and three large lots). You need to select the European - contemporary tileset and to allocate residential medium density areas according to the desired lot size using the CTRL- and possibly ALT- keys, and depending on the needs of the city, Severnoye blocks will grow in low-end neighborhoods (R-§).

hehe, there are lot of things that Sam Johnson doesn't release yet... but true that lot of people are waiting for his masterpiece, not especially I have a MD but could be a pity if it's not published as it's finished

but we trust in SFBT for modding it and lot of your jewels

I want to add rail yards to my city, but I'm having problems with the textures in the SFBT freight car sidings. I've downloaded all of the dependencies and can't figure out what the problem is. The sidings that only use two lanes work just fine, but the ones with three or more will not show up. Any ideas??? Also, I'm using a mac.

*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!

Oh Lord...

Oh my god.

I cannot contain my excitement for thus beauty. I've been waiting for years since I saw the first shots, and now that I don't have a commie region this pops up! I think I might have to put it in my city......

What a resurrection 

Sam_Johnson has always been a talented batter. I am sure it stays lot of his stuffs which could be released 

[noahclem]

By God it's arrived! It's Christmas (or SFBT Advent) in January 

My very sincere thanks. I've thought about this beauty many times, including earlier today

  Gorgeous!! 

[Fabian93]

I don't even know what to say... this left me speechless 
Fantastic work - I knew that - as Girafe already said - Sam Johnson has always been one of the greatest batters in this community... but this is simply unbelievable 
I'm even thinking of starting the game after years, just to try out and look at that building

Seen this in the "The ones that never made the STEX"-thread. I'm glad it's finally dusted off and brought to the public. Bravo!

Oh my God, this is really Magnificent and I'm totally stunned. Last year I expect any data to be released this Mega BAT during SFBT calendar, but it just did not happen. I had already resigned himself that maybe this project will see the light of day today just do not have words. Congratulations and grateful to Andreas and Sam Johnson for that surprise. This is certainly the best ever published from SFBT and then at the right time - 10 years Sim Sity 4. Until today I had three favorite buildings:
St. Peter-in Yoder
Budapest Parliament - Yoder
UN headquarters - Cockatoo
Today in this threesome intervene largest building ever righting here. Incidentally UMG is the largest university in the world and was the tallest building in Moscow until 2005. Is 240 meters high with 36 floors and the whole area is extensive over 1 square kilometer.

Even after more than 10 years of SimCity 4, the SFBT still continues to offer new downloads for the community. Today, we publish an indoor pool for your Central European cities: the SFBT Indoor Pool by Stefan

There is also an outdoor area for your Sims to relax and play, and to swim in the pool during hot summer days. The building inscription "Hallenbad" is German for indoor swimming pool. The SFBT Indoor Pool provides park and landmark effect boosts, and residential cap relief.

As shown on the screenshots, two lots are offered, a smaller lot (4x4 tiles) with some parking along the main road and a larger lot (5x4 tiles) with parking on the side. This entrance is network-enabled and by dragging a street the parking can be connected to a most road networks. When plopping the lot next to a road the connection often occurs automatically.
