Wow. This would break my poor computer if I even attempted it, but dang. I just had to say this is simply amazing. The talent it takes to do this is just... wow. I'm at a loss for words - and my hubby would totally tell you that doesn't happen! Great job!

Wow, these are so dramatically different from my "skyscrapers" that I just don't know what to say! Very impressive... though I have to agree with everyone else- I can't imagine my poor old machine being able to handle something this massive!

Wow, that is quite something. It would also break my computer, but I can admire it from here. I'm wondering how it didn't break the games wall limit, I guess there are not too many walls on each story. very impressive.

I wondered about that too, actually... panmines, can you enlighten us? or is it a "trade secret?" I can imagine lots of places where such a trick could be useful!

I would guess it's something like a CFE manipulation... just making the walls many stories taller instead of shorter... but I don't know- I'm curious!

Hah, I was hoping someone would ask that. The building never exceeds the hard coded 15 levels, I just used an old program, made by Mootilda, to stretch certain levels to a specific height of multiple levels. So yeah It's just like what you said; "Making walls many stories taller" The good news about that is these buildings since they will never have more than 15 stories, they won't put an abnormal amount strain on your system and plus, nobody needs to know how to mod the game (I don't even know how! ) I remember when I was first making sky scrapers and I had an old HP pavilion with just a dual core 1.5 GHz proccessor, 4 GB of ram, and only had the motherboard video card, and these weren't too bad to play. I bet it would run okay with a modern computer though. The specific process of how i used the program is a bit complicated, and I would like to post a tutorial if I had time. If you are into lot building and are inclined to do so, I encourage you toy around with it. It would be awesome to see what other people come up with.

Really cool! I've visited the Empire state building a few weeks ago and I can tell it's basically the same! Great work!
