Locking Historic Buildings

[jq371]

Im sorry if this has been asked and answered elsewhere, but does anyone know if the game will allow you to lock individual buildings in certain areas to prevent that particular building from "leveling up".

for example if there is a building that you don't want to change through the games progress that you can lock as that building - i think sim city (maybe 4) had that option to historically protect a building.

Yes, it was added with Rush Hour to SC4.

I like that feature, +1 for me. I hated it when system decided to break down a villa to replace it with a grey concrete block.

A good feature that I an sure we would all appreciate. All we can ask is for it to be put on the "Wish list"

This feature was already in SimCity 3000. I liked it.

Yup and it was about the only way to keep farms (because they turned very fast into small dirty industries)... making each and every farm tile historical.

I hope this idea to be included in city policies

I hope this idea to be included in city policies

can't see why not, could be zoning a district and select a policy that will make it Historical, preventing any change or progress to it.

I'd like this as well.

Haha, oh gosh that was "fun"

I'd like to see this too. Sometimes a certain building really fits a certain spot.

We've been talking about adding a "culture marked" policy that you can add to buildings/zones, preventing them from leveling up. This would be especially usable if the game eventually gets a longer timeline so that you might want to preserve historical buildings. So, um, no definite yes on this but it's something we've been discussing so it's on the table!
