I’d kind of guess that this lot is probably more likely to just be neighborhood decoration for most of you, and not a location you actually visit that often, but I’d really just wanted to see if I could make a convincing antenna of this sort, and I’m quite pleased with the results! The antenna itself is inaccessible beyond the first few stories at the base, so it’s really just for the tech aesthetic, but to ensure that your Sims have something to do when visiting this lot, I also built a small broadcasting hut at the base, with a few different possible interactions depending on the kinds of Sims you send.

While it’s just as tall as any of my tallest skyscrapers, this is actually a small lot in terms of it’s demands on your computer, and at 3x1 is the smallest standard lot size in the game, so hopefully if you do decide to visit this lot with your Sims it’ll be quick to load everything. Total value of the lot is only $66,199 and no NPCs should be generated (though this does mean a LOT of townies may show up, which kind of messes with the vibe of a usually-empty transmission hut )

As far as things to do, you’ve got a few generic office desks, a kitchenette and BBQ area, and a small recording studio with a karaoke machine for Sims who feel like broadcasting their karaoke misadventures for anyone with a radio to listen in on! I’ve tested a clone and found no major issues or routing glitches, but please let me know if you find anything in your game and I’ll do my best to address it.

Enjoy!



“This is KSBN-FM broadcasting out of SimCity (a subsidiary of Landgraab Enterprises), serving the greater SimCity metropolitan area. As we come to the top of the hour we’d like to thank our sponsors, including the associated artists of Midlock Media, your local Alto Smord dealers, and of course our corporate overlords at Landgraab Enterprises!”



“Remember to drop by the station on Tuesdays and Thursdays to record your own cover of a song from this week’s Top 10, for a chance to have your version played ON AIR during our Saturday Morning Music Industry Review! Think you’ve got the voice of an angel? Want to have some fun singing the worst cover of a song you can? Well either way it sounds like fun to us, and our recording booth is ready to capture your singing and share it with the world!”



“Listeners, please remember that this repeater will be temporarily off the air early Thursday morning as our 17-storey primary broadcasting antenna is undergoing routine maintenance. We here at KSBN still pride ourselves on our 24/7 coverage however, so broadcasts should still be available throughout most of the SimCity metro area thanks to our Sim Valley and Miniopolis repeaters. We anticipate repairs taking no more than 4 hours and as soon as technicians are out of the tower we’ll return to our regular broadcasts at this frequency. As always we thank you for your patience!”



“HELLLLOOOOO SIMCITY!!!! Happy Wednesday, and happy Hump Day to all you sorry Sims out on the freeways trying to make it home from work today! It’s Joe and Tom coming to you live with your evening commute Top 40, trying to make the daily grind a bit less painful! And of course Bob is our Eye in the Sky, with traffic updates coming to you from the KSBN News Chopper on the 5, 15, and 35 every hour! Now before we join Joe and Tom in the studio, a quick word from our sponsor for this hour, Shiny Things Inc!”
