As the landscape cutting issue has been fixed, my buildings should run fine on the [[September 24 2025 build|September 24, 2025 build]]. However, if anything breaks unexpectedly, you might wish to revert to either [[Skyscrapersim 2.0 RC4|RC4]] or [[Skyscrapersim 2.0 RC5|RC5]].
There are still some significant buildings (fully created by me) that do not have external floor indicators on at least one floor (apart from any service/freight elevator), so <u>let me share the reason why</u>:

However, because I recently added destination dispatch to [[Skydream Tower]] and [[Simulation Tower]], external indicators will not be added to the DD elevators in both places, mocking the appearance of such thing IRL. Note that I will leave the conventional elevators at both places untouched, as I like how the lanterns are placed vertically above doors, like in [[The Spire]].

Because I may unexpectedly update an older building, my buildings (including building-specific scripts) will '''no longer have''' the most recent month and year of revision in their filenames. (However, the format <span style="color:green;">"Building Name (Address).bld"</span> is still used for some places in [[Tranquility City]].) The only things with a year label would be commonly used scripts such as "Deco2023" and "[[AutomaticDoor2013]]."
I deeply apologize to announce that it will be a very long time before the next release of this IP comes. There are some reasons behind this.

Download links[edit source]

As the landscape cutting issue has been fixed, my buildings should run fine on the September 24, 2025 build. However, if anything breaks unexpectedly, you might wish to revert to either RC4 or RC5.


Installation instructions:

  1. Open the downloaded file in your preferred program, then open the folder with the same name as the archive.
  2. If done correctly, you should see the "buildings", "data", and other script folders.
  3. Select ALL listed folders inside and copy them to your Skyscraper root folder, replacing all files when prompted.


Note to everybody:

  1. Buildings that may resemble real-life places were created only because they are my favorites.
    1. Other people also made such creations for the same reasons.
    2. However, if you really want me to delete a building, please give me a very nice reason, as well as an absolute proof of your relations to the real place.
  2. Please (in)directly credit me if you want to take photos/videos of my buildings.
  3. Do not simply steal my screenshots regardless of their details. It is simple to press F11 to take one of your own.
    1. I sincerely apologize for removing certain screenshots some time after having released the related updates.
  4. Please kindly read the included "Copyright and Credits" before altering any building or content included.
    1. I would exercise a fair use (no copyright violation intended) for files created by no longer active users.
    2. If you do not want me to include any files, please PM me with a nice reason, and with a proof of ownership if possible.

The future of this IP[edit source]

I deeply apologize to announce that it will be a very long time before the next release of this IP comes. There are some reasons behind this.

  1. Whenever I browse to the forum thread (including the former and current ones), I would see "error reports" (whether about missing textures or large buildings stalling/crashing on lower-end computers) and "requests to add or change files (such as in GitHub)" more than "compliments about my buildings."
    • It's fine if users who like my buildings prefer enjoying them silently, but seeing error or requests almost every day making me feel really like a bot or an AI who needs to work perfectly every time.
    • I am a real person, not a robot or an AI who can always follow every single comment. Hence, my IP's releases cannot always be perfect.
  2. Most important: I would like to wait for many years until computers get more advanced before continuing on Spacetime Plaza (more specifically, the hotel zone in the northwestern side of the complex).
    • Let's say that if I manage to complete this complex in June 2027, other users may still not have enough time and money to upgrade their computers by then.
  3. Other important factor: I do not want people I know in real life to know about "this hobby" at all, as doing so may cause them to "exploit my skills" for either higher studies (anywhere in the world) or any kind of job (whether paid or not). Only when I reach my early sixties (or late seventies) in the far future can those people know that.
    • To save time and improve realism, it's better to use SketchUp or a similar program for such thing.
    • I always consider Skyscraper Simulator as a game, not a professional simulation. Even if there is a "graphical building designer" officially created by eventhorizon in the future, SketchUp will still do better for real life jobs.
    • With all of this, I need to implement an isolated environment (with a desktop computer^, optionally with a dedicated graphic card) before my dream of Spacetime Plaza can come true.
    • I still spend time well for important matters in real life, while allocating some days when I can stay alone in my "headquarter" to work on my buildings.
  4. From #3 above, let's say that when I am sitting idle listening to music, surfing the Internet, or reading a book, my phone would be very silent as if its battery were completely empty. However, when I start working on any building of mine, I would receive a call or a message at that very moment.
    • When this happens, I must switch to "career mode" immediately without talking about this "strange hobby" at all, as people IRL who know this might think that I am crazy.

^TBH, I don't want to buy a new "gaming laptop" just to work on my buildings, and I do not want to run the simulator on a "regular laptop" anymore, as doing so may shorten its life and cause me to lose some important data.

I would regularly pack up and make a new release at the forum, but the changelog may not be fully accurate as I cannot keep track of every single change. However, please do not always request me to update GitHub every time, as this is very annoying. Also, please do not request me to "add certain content" to my IP's packages immediately after posting a new release. Please patiently wait for the next one before I can fulfill your wish.

Officially separated topics for different matters[edit source]

As being treated like an AI or a bot every time is very annoying, and some people who read my topic may just see "error messages" or "missing textures" and don't download* my buildings at all, it's time to separate my IP's topic into two:

*Note: I am not forcing people to download my releases. If you like other people's buildings more than mine, go ahead, please just don't repeatedly post the same things in my topics, as it is very annoying. I may just stop updating GitHub and only make releases by uploading to MediaFire as usual if this continues.
