Customized Transportation

If I want to build and design a customized form of transportation for Sims 2 game or Sims 2 entertainment for the internet, then my first attempt would be the subway train.  And why?  Well, as a native New Yorker, I take the trains a lot growing up and I'm pretty fascinated by each stations info structure and architecture.  From the old designs of yesteryear to today latest and modern designs.

I wanted to construct a model of the latest train car the R160, but I also wanted to construct the Red Bird (Model R-27) , the R-40,  and the R-16.  Those were the subway cars I grew up with and have fond memories of them.  Lucky, there are photos posted online on the exterior and interior of each car.  I'll use them as a blueprint to help construct the cars.

Which subway station will I duplicate for Sims 2?  Well, my mind is set on the Stillwell Avenue station located in Coney Island, Brooklyn.  The infostructure is phenominal, however it's a pretty big challenge to undertake.  So I'll start with something simple: 207th Street and Broadway station in Inwood, Manhattan.  I always wanted to make that kind of station for Sims 2.  Other stations I would like to put on Sims 2 are 125th Street, 155th Street, 42nd Street, 34th Street, 14th street, West 4th Street, Canal Street and the South Ferry (the old curved station structure).

I was also thinking of adding a city bus to the Sims 2.  Something like the MTA bus.  That way my sims won't have to rely on taxis or their own cars to get around.

It would be fasinating to watch the sims take public transportation when I play the game or making shows.  This project would be a 2 to 3 week time frame because I want to put everyting into detail when it comes to construction.  If I'm successful with this project then I will add it to the game for a test run.  And if it works out, then I will use as a prop for my Sims 2 shows.  If I fail, then there's nothing left to do than to keep trying.

Until then, I will keep you posted with my progress.
