Be aware to who's going to subscribe to this asset: Ditto on others saying about the unrealistically high attraction and drawing unusually high number of tourists pouring in and coming out of the library, basically breaking the city's traffic system. I've only had one city that could successfully handle that kind of traffic and that's because it's pretty close to a highway interchange and the city is still small. If you have a fairly large city and large population, think twice before using this asset.

Undeniably, it's a beautiful and well done asset, so beautify that I actually spend a minute or two just looking at the sims doing things inside because you can literally look through the windows in the front! And it serve as a library to so will add to your city's library capacity. But since the unrealistic high capacity, or attraction/entertainment setting (not sure which one is the culprit, perhaps it's the capacity like @MrMiyagi said), it doesn't suit my other larger cities.

Hi, a friend asked me to check out the issue with this building because they really like it but it causes problems they couldn't figure out. Here's what's up:

Because you have the capacity set SO high, it attracts way too much traffic (of all kinds) and thus reduces the value of properties around it and increases the crime rate.

I see you linked the stats of the real building. The capacity of game buildings should NOT be set at real life statistics. They must be set at a level similar to other in-game buildings so that it balances with the game's AI. A regular library has 100 visitors. You need to set this one to a max of about 200 and upload that new version. It's a super easy and quick fix! :) Hope that helps!

This is a very nice looking building, but it creates a surreal amount of visitors(tourists and locals alike). Maybe on pair to the Space Needle monument. Is there any way to fix this with RICO or any other mod, instead of modifying it with asset editor?

This is an absolutely incredible recreation, right down to the interiors. Amazing work!

Incredible building but it is *way* too attractive for my public transit network. Suddenly I have a thousand people waiting for the train at every stop. :o
MaW_BLITZ Oct 5, 2021 @ 4:42pm 
I suppose it adds crime and lowers property values around it

One of my favourite assets! Very unique! Thank you so much for it!

Great asset and boy does it generate public transit demand lol

Great asset but it pretty much obliterates traffic around it.

It snows inside. And is too popular for tourists :_O

Capacity 10000 - not library. FPS drops((:steamthumbsdown:

I am a total noob to this game so I get easily awed by the work of modders. This asset though is truly amazing. Watching the sims in the library is too fun. You can even in zoom in and look through the holes in the roof at stuff happening inside. Love it. Great job.

I have visited in Oodi some times because I live in Helsinki! :D
Great work!

This library is so beautiful I just plopped 3-4 of them in my 15k pop city.
The only problem with it is that the cims seem to find it as beautiful as I do so be sure to plop it on bigger streets that can handle the crowd
Zooba Aug 16, 2020 @ 10:11am 
A really nice asset. It really seems to draw a huge crowd though lol.

* Update *
26/10/2019
- Updated the asset to a Library Asset. No Longer found in Unique Building.
- Overhaul the interior to the real life building.
- Lowered file size.
Ali Cafe Hao YEAH!  [author] Oct 15, 2019 @ 1:07am 
@FinnPotato
Kiitos! ole hyvä! (google translated)

I am working on converting into a library asset as glarcfan mentioned!
Stay tuned!
also, I'm working on updating the interior as I realized the interior I had is very different compared to the real-life counterpart. (The building wasn't completed when I did my submission)

Loistavaa työtä, kiitos :D

@glarcfan
Oh thats great! Yes i will change it to a library.
glarcfan Jul 8, 2019 @ 10:42am 
@Ali Cafe Hao YEAH!
Fortunately, it's a free update haha. Looking forward to see this beautiful library been converted into a functional one.
Ali Cafe Hao YEAH!  [author] Jul 8, 2019 @ 7:01am 
@glarcfan
Oh that is a excellent idea! Does it require the DLC? or its a free update thingy
glarcfan Jul 8, 2019 @ 5:04am 
Do you have plans to make it a real functional library after the campus life update?
Ali Cafe Hao YEAH!  [author] Nov 7, 2018 @ 6:25am

The last time I tried to purchase this building, it cost $600,000, even though it says $300,000 on another section in-game.

Oh well understandable! Waiting curiously to see what you'll release next.

Yeah, theres suggestion in the comments, but there is no plan right now.
Feels like "flying" back home and do home (singapore) assets for awhile. Homesick haha!
