How to utilize the new building textures

[TashaTight]

Since I saw complaints about new building textures, I thought maybe it would been in it's place to show some example of how these texture can help significantly lowering object counts for urban themed sims.

I didn’t complain about the idea. I complained about the quality. Up close the textures are blurry. If they were better resolution I would use them gladly. Like this only from the distance.

I don't think they're that blurry but I do think there some kind of bug that does not always load texture right, notice I copy building and delete it again texture become much more sharp then when they're initially placed.

Huh now that IS a neat way of using them....

Never thought of using them as 'wallpaper' so to speak.

Anyhow though, the Building Textures are awesome for Background Objects, lets you make cities in the background without having to bloat the file with hundreds of extra objects.

I haven't really noticed any blurry textures on them, the only issue I have is the texture 'wrapping'.

Make a building block with the texture that looks good, move it 2 meters in any direction and suddenly there are halved windows and oddities. That requires some work methinks, but it's not -that- bad.

I tried to make the flat building textures a bit more interesting by setting the windows further back, and scaled each one to avoid overlapping/halved windows. For the bigger skyscraper buildings, I had the same idea as Kimmy and just built under them lol
