Qualified Worker apartments 2.0

secpol,
Nice building but a few problems that keep me from wanting to use it. I did download it and built it in a city to test it out. For the larger exceptional density footprint we only have the same lame 100 C (at 10% tax rate) as your nice Soviet style high density Skilled worker buildings. I also would expect that such a bland building would have an Unskilled worker version as well. Too much emphasis on Skilled worker buildings for too many residential mods, we need more diversity for other worker groups.

I could live with the bigger footprint and bland looks if tax income were seriously increased as well as giving us an Unskilled worker version with increased tax income. Double or triple the tax income to make these bland buildings less bland economically and more enticing to want to use. The look is interesting but could use a little furniture or plazas for the bland base.

 

secpol,
Your building lacks colors. I'll have to remember your English is better than my Russian but still not good enough for me to say what I want how I want. I can't remember if PONS does Russian translation, that's my favorite language translator.

I wish you'd put a color circle around the building and do a few versions with different colored stripes. I have many of your Soviet style building mods and love how you would make multiple versions of the same building, usually 3 to 5 different versions of the same building. All you did was change colors. If you also make an Unskilled worker version you give us more choice.

I don't mind the baseless version but it then makes placement more difficult. Plus I then have to block off the building with parking lots and 1-meter paths to then place a plaza beneath. That means extra work for me and others.

Without a base you may want to do something to make it obvious which way the front of the building points.

If you want to make the building more attractive for me increase tax income. Instead of thinking Soviet cost-of-living think Moscow's current high cost-of-living. Like ten times normal. That also makes up for bigger size than standard 60m x 60m high density.

Dobri Dehn! (Have a Good Day)

 

In Cities XL Platinum, this building automatically grows in a space much smaller than the building so that it merges with everything around it..and it also seems to spread like a virus.
