Title: Radisson Manhattan "OFB" "Wickedsims Exclusive"
Post by: Henrik on March 17, 2006, 01:05:08 AM
Hello :)
I am happy to finally be able to present to you "Radisson Manhattan" The biggest lot i have ever constructed  :shock:
It took forever to make but I think it was worth it cuz it looks great in my New York hood :D

Please note that this lot is BIG and requires lots of memory to run smoothly.
The lot uses a few pieces of custom content and requires the invisible/unleveled walls by numenor at MTS2. You will find the links below :)

I started with the intention to finish the floorplan for all the floors but as i got higher up i noticed the game performance got more and more sluggish probably due to the high poly count that all the walls added. So i made a desicion that i would only make floorplans finished for the 1st, 2nd and penthouse floor apart from the lobby ofcourse:)

The ground floor is fully decorated and furnished with lobby, coffe shop, sitting areas, game tables, front desk, restrooms and a large kitchen for the bistro. At the back of the hotel is Bistro Artist which can be accessed either from the hotel lobby or from the street entrance behind the hotel. The 1st, 2nd and top floor have essential floorplans made and carpets and wallpaper and lighting are there but no furnishing or other decorations have been made to keep the lot from lagging too much.
I have tested the lot with one of my sims and it was fully functional but then i have a pretty fast computer :D

Here comes some essential stuff about the lot:

Lot name: Radisson Manhattan
Lot type: Community lot
Lot size: Biggest (60x50)
Cost: 782.782 simoleans
Number of floors: 10
Decorated: Outside and ground floor are fully decorated but the rest is empty except from lighting, carpets and wallpaper.
Business: Ground floor has coffeeshop, bistro and cash registers for sale of whatever you want.
Custom content: Yes. The Radisson neon sign is included and can also be found amongst the other excellent signs made by atavera over at MTS2. The invisible/unleveled walls are made by numenor and can be found at MTS2 too :)

The links:
Radisson sign made by atavera (included with permission)

Invisible/unleveled walls: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=59793 made by numenor

**Requires University, Nightlife and Open for Business aswell as the new CEP**

**Exclusive download for Wickedsims**

Treuthfully, this is one of the best lots I have ever seen, you always amaze me with your ability to take me breathless into architecture.  Please keep doing these limit-testing buildings and I promise I will keep slavishly worshipping you :D

I downloaded this last night but haven't put it into the game yet. Of course I downloaded a few other of your downtown buildings that I haven't put in yet but I will try to get them in tonight. Thank you for the downloads and thank you in advance for assistance in building.

This is beautifully done; my jaw is dropping as the images appear....
 This has obviously taken a great deal of time, and your attention to detail is impressive. :)
  I am happy that you've opted to share such a large project with us......, now I'm off to see what else you've done,
  'cause I'm a new member of your fan club!
         Thanks :D

Good Job Henrick, As usual. You should try to make your own house.

http://www.wickedsims2.com/forums/index.php?topic=401 apartments based on Henrik's real-life one...it makes it alot easier to fully stalk him when you can not only have his self-simmie in your game but his house too...just gotta make sure you get the zodiac/turnons/personality right and you've got your own little Henrik to have your way with in your game lol...sim-Henrik spends most of his time in my game karaoking and shopping...and flirting with cuties that shop at his in-home bakery lol
Title: Lot Crashing Game
Post by: hallowseve on August 25, 2006, 12:34:09 PM
I absolutely love this lot and really really want to play with it, but when ever I go in to whether to build or visit it crashes my game.  I downloaded the custom content needed but can not figure out why it is crashing.  This is the only lot in my game that crashes it which is why I am posting this here.

I know that some people have had problems with it due to the mear size of the lot. The lot contains more than the maximum amount of walls permitted by the game and it seems that can cause the game to stall on some computer :(

I am going to remake the lot a bit smaller in the future but for now that is the only answer I can give you :( I'm sorry
