Unique Builds

Admiral8Q

This is the kind of build that catches my attention in the Gallery! Not only does it look really awesome and fantastically imaginative, it is actually play-tested and functions in-game.

It fits a 20 x 20 minimum and only requires 3 packs.

I put it at "Reef Finery".

How about a monument?

Amazing work you found Admiral. But then, so is that whole Sulani shot. 3 of those builds are waaay over the height limit for TS4.

Um? What do you mean by "height limit"?

@Oldeseadogge Of topic a bit, I suppose this would be waaaaaay over the height limit for the upper decks on a warship.

Unless it's been changed, TS4 allows only 4 floors to a building. 3 if you have an elevated foundation. Learned that the hard way while trying to build a Vicky some years ago. Am uncertain on cheats. TS2 limit, if I remember correctly, is 6 before the cheat code. That is so flexible a bona fide skyscraper is possible. My tallest so far in TS2 is a 12-story Victorian hotel, based on period plans of one in Bermuda. This is on top of a foundation. I needed the biggest lot the game has to build it.

It's 4 floors up 4 floors underground. The 5th floor up can't have any walls. It literally has to be a 'floor', or in better terms a 'roof-floor'.

I do love that first build @Admiral8Q , the one called Sulani Fantasy. Like @Oldeseadogge I am curious about how the floors are divided up, does it fit into the 4 floor limit and if so what part of the building is on which floor?

You can raise or lower rooms on each "floor" level separately. You need at least one tile separation. They can't connect directly. You can connect them with stairs though.
(Note: This was even before platforms was codded in, which makes it even more complicated now. Heh!)

@mightysprite Check out "local pool" by fralllz. Search for the person rather than the name of the lot.

Clever way to have a floor-level split, but connected. First time I ever saw this actually.

What's the central part of the observation tower, is it some form of sculpture scaled up?

Yes it is a 'sculpture' object scaled up. Not in-game now or I could tell you which one.

@Admiral8Q Thanks, I thought so. I think I may even have it, just dismissed it as something ugly I won't use. I'll have to adjust that kind of thinking in future.

Just fyi, for the 'height limit'.
There is a workaround for making a fifth floor (sort of):

I love building this kind of out of the box things. Althought I usually go a bit more towards existing things that are just really difficult to build in TS4 lol. If I didn't only have basegame, I might have a bit more options though

Those look excellent! Do you have them uploaded to the Gallery? I'd love to download them and check your builds out.
