It has been my intention to offer prefabricated buildings for New Babbage for some time. I’m sitting here making a build list, and wondering what people might like. So far I have:
- Three story brownstone with bay windows
- Open-plan workshop with balcony sitting room
- Ground floor storefront with upstairs apartment
- Early Victorian factory
Any other requests? What kind of primcount would people recommend?
most folks coming off the mainland balk at anything over 50.
coincidentally, I’ve been working on a house in the sandbox for an unrelated project, inside looks like crap but it’s supposed to look run down. not really based on any existing buildings, or strict victorian architecture, but I tend to go more steampunk than victorian. still if I can get the inside to -not- look like crap, and trip some of the prims, might work as a prefab or something
I already have the storefront, although it lacks a second floor (the inside is two stories tall), you’re quite welcome to take it to use a starting point, if you like, though.
I’m sorry I’ve dropped the ball on my assignment to collect and market all of the prefabs. I’ve been extraordinarily busy. And usually when I log on to work on my own prefab, I get IMd a lot and drawn into a dozen ongoing plotlines, so I have no time to work on my own projects. And that’s even when I do have spare RL time.
If you’d like to take on the project, sir, please do.
@Blackberry: oh I think a large cross-section of prefabs (and building blocks, as Beq suggests) from a variety of builders would be ideal. I’ll try and throw a few into the ring, as should you and anyone else who feels the compulsion to do so.
I’d be glad to try building a few things. I am trying to remember the name of a sim that had a pretty nice look using very few prims. I’ll have to get back to you later on that.
For the mars project, I distilled a number of 19th century architectural styles into tiny martian cave dwellings. I’ll dig them out and see what is there. They might at the very least serve as a guideline.
*Drools over the “Early Victorian factory”*
AE I would have loved the Early Victorian factory as a starting point for the Whale Oil refinery. (Your next door neighbor)
I like de brownstone and de open plan workshop building – not dat Imma lookin’ or anythin’. Imma jes’ putting my two cents in.
