How Do We Add New Buildings?

[Rex]

Can we design our own buildings or are there any mods with new buildings?  I want to build a city, like Dubai, but obviously much smaller.  Is there a way to do this?

have you checked the assets in the mission editor? there are quite a few buildings already. Many missions include entirely custom made cities, bases, and camps.

Yes. Make the object you want in blender or 3ds,export,texture it and make it a static object and you are done.

Really? I had no idea it was that easy.  I'm going to give it a try. Thank you!

Oh yeah, I've made hundreds of missions, and you're right, there are tons of buildings.  I generally make "cities" out of the Military Staff Building and Railroad Depot building as they are most similar to normal office buildings. I was looking for the objects that were in, say, Dubai.  I'm not sure where those models are located.  Skyscrapers aren't common 3rd party mission assets, so I wasn't sure if they were possible.

 

With that being said, I did just find a really nice Space Needle:
