I personally find it annoying when people refer to the former WTC Site as "Ground Zero". A nuclear warhead never fell there and as of 2013, it's just the World Trade Center and 9/11 Memorial. Aside from that, I would like to get the WTC. Both old and new.
 
I could come up with something this weekend probably, shouldn't be too hard to model it. Would you want all of the buildings/grounds (WTC 1-7), or just the huge man made waterfall/hole (I think that is the actual memorial, I don't know too much about the specifics).

Cheers
 
I dont mean any offence to people i have just heard people refer to it as this so i put it their to not confuse people

It's fine. I'm just so tired of it that when tourists ask me where "Ground Zero" is, I reply, "If you mean the World Trade Center and Memorial...." then give the proper directions. The site is almost completely rebuilt with 3WTC resuming full construction, the PATH terminal almost finished despite being hideous and small. With those and the openings of One and Four, we are just waiting on Two WTC. I'm hoping that enough space can be leased before the year is out, that way the tower can resume construction and be finished by 2020 at the latest. I know this is still going on, but you have no clue how bad I want to see this finished. I never got to go to the top of the Twin Towers, but when the observation deck on One WTC opens, you'd better believe I'm in there like swimwear.

Yeah, that's perfectly fine. It's changed over the decades to encompass much more than nuclear bombs.

The media gave it the extra meaning. The public identified with it and the definition was amended. Couldn't WTC Site suffice? Whatever. I shouldn't be asking you, I should be asking the person who used the term in the first place.
 
Just bringing this forum back onto topic, I put in a few hours today and here is a quick WIP of it in the tool. A few things to do but it is coming along nicely. If anyone knows if/how I can make the ground go down so I can get the fountains looking correct it would be quite nice.

Here is a quick WIP

Things to do
-Their window shader seems to overpower my metal bits so Ill see what I can do about that
-Going to use their trees and foliage to put around the area
-Need to scale it properly
-Going to see if I can make some nice animations with it, dont know how to quite yet

Cheers and hope you like it!
 
Here it Is

Tell me if you like it/if anything is wrong with it.

Had to make it a level 6 unique building to get the large size that the WTC is. Made it as big as possible (12x13)
Included WTC Buildings 1-4 and the fountains.

Had to use gravel since the field looked bad in the tropical area.
 
Hey guys! Amazing work on this! I'd love to plop it on my city, but I can't see any of the buildings in-game on my Mac... The only things I see are the intersection and parks. No WTC, or anything else. Any clues?
