    Hey, great to see a new modder around :)

    I'd have 1 suggestion - no base. I believe it's good not to do any plazas, parkings etc because it limits their use. Just my opinion.

    Good luck!!

    I mean the plazas around the buildings - vanilla buildings in CXL all have a 40x40 base, but the buildings have different shapes on them, the rest are pavements, lawns, decorations etc. I particularly find this contraproductive, because you a) can't build wall-to-wall easily, and b) when it is a standalone building, all the above doesn't usually fit the rest of the surroundings aesthetically. In your case, if I read the picture correctly, it would mean deleting the bottom green rectangle

    I did like that too, and for my last mod, I removed the base and it's true that it's much better ... (y)

    Now it is a choice ... ;)

    Thanks for the words Dtwizzy. I'll take those suggestions into consideration. Right now I'm just sort of winging it and getting used to the process and just learning the beginner stuff.

    With some help in between.

    You're the modder that did the Toronto building correct? Lovely building btw. and the other work on your thread. Hope you get a chance to finish a few of them in the future.

    Yes, I find that the building you chose to make a good start to begin ...
    Don't worry with the will and this site with all its modders, you will reach your objective.

    Yes that is correct, I did well the building of Toronto, moreover, seen talking about, I think it should be updated, but many projects at the moment .... :confused:

    Thank you for your support, it's always good ^^

    I wish you good luck for the modding. (y)

    No Problem Dtwizzy... Um that Toronto building I feel anyways. The only thing needs updating is the roof area.
    other than that no worries...

    Will have updates soon.

    Would love to see more mod-in-developments such as these. If anyone got any previous step-by-step mods in the making. Link me!

    Thnx @Wibi Haven't had much motivation or time to make further progress on this particular building. If I had help gathering up the proper textures I would most definitely continue work on it. But for right now it sits in Limbo.
