World Trade Center

The World Trade Center brought back in a Simcity 4 mod.

The World Trade Center (1971-2001) is a set of two buildings available in Simcity 2000 and SimCity 3000. Their real-life counterparts were named 1 WTC (North Tower) and 2 WTC (South Tower), and were part of the World Trade Center complex, surrounded by buildings 3 through 7 (which also collapsed from structural failure during the 9/11 attacks).

History

The World Trade Center was located in Lower Manhattan in New York City, New York from their initial construction until their destruction on September 11, 2001 by terrorists, when 2 planes crashed into each tower and causing severe fires on 8 floors in the South Tower and 6 floors in the North Tower, eventually in 56 and 102minutes later causing both to have a catastrophic structural failure, making both completely collapse to their foundations. When the South Tower collapsed it crushed World Trade Center building 4, split the Marriott hotel in half and severely damaged the Deutsche Bank Building  which caused it to eventually be deemed unsafe and was subsequently demolished.

SimCity 2000 and 3000

Officially, the towers appeared in these 2 titles. The entire complex appeared in SC 2000, while only the twin towers appeared in 3000. The twin towers in 3000 however were designed incorrect, as in game they are slightly smaller then their real life versions, and tower 1 is missing its antenna.

Simcity Creator, Simcity DS and Simcity Deluxe

All 3 versions above are a console/mobile port of Simcity 3000. Both towers were removed from the games, while other landmarks features were retained. In the game files for all 3, the towers textures and plop data remains.
