on this date I would like to publish a special plugin:
The Twin Towers of the former World Trade Center in New York City.
Today is the 16th anniversary of one of the most severe terror attacks in history which took thousands of lives. Their aftermath caused even more suffering and influences global politics even up to this day.
During my childhood, the Twin Towers of the WTC had always been sort of the epitome of a skyscraper. Whenever I heard that term "skyscraper", I had a picture of these towers in my mind, and I still admire their clean and elegant architecture today. Therefore, I thought it fitting to release this plugin on this date in order to commemorate the towers and the events that will always be connected to them.
The Set consists of two separate plugins which will appear in the award menu. The first plugin includes the two towers, each on a 4x4 lot and the second includes some 1x1 park tiles and a 2x2 sculpture. The tree on one of the 1x1 lots was made by Lobby and Theo.
All buildings require the rank "big city" to be built, and the towers can only be built once.
Note also that the towers are not to scale, even though they exceed the recommended maximum building height for plugins of 256px by far. This extreme height has the downside of causing the buildings to pop in or out of view quite abruptly at the bottom of the screen in lower zoom stages when you scroll across the map. If that bothers you, don't download this plugin!
PLEASE, do not start any political discussions below!
I understand that this subject might be controversial, but this is not the right place for any of that.
Thank you!
