I've done a little mod for the original game that requires XComUtil to work. It basically adds to the original 9 buildings of City 3 versions for each, each facing a different direction (so each building has 4 perspectives: N, S, E and W).

Instructions to install it and use it can be found on the readme.txt inside its zipped file.

And here's a couple of pictures of it to show how it looks.

Man... How many new tiles did you have to draw to pull that off?

None, I only used the original tiles. The basic architecture of the buildings (dimensions and internal disposition) follows the one of the original version, but I had to make some adaptations concerning stairs and furniture. I thought of drawing new tiles but there wasn't space because of the tile limit.

Ah... I knew most tiles were multi-purpose, but I also knew a few of them wouldn't have worked in all directions.

There isn't anything different with the tiles or their locations but in some cases I had to use another tile otherwise it would look weird or out of place.

The layout of the buildings is still the same

I like it! The layout might be the same, but it is all leveled the same
