Konstantinovsk 1980 (50% complete)

Description
REQUIRED COLLECTIONS:
Main Asset Collection: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2167939262
Overflow Asset Collection: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2212583215
Required Mods: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1921093092
You will also need all the items I have uploaded to the workshop, as these were made specifically for this build.

Be warned, this save requires an absolute TON of assets and mods, so if your PC isn't halfway decent you can expect around 0 fps and that's if it loads up at all.

Description:
Save Game of my alternate history build of the Kaliningrad (formerly East Prussia / Konigsberg) oblast of Russia.
I have modelled the city on Kaliningrad relatively closely so far, though slightly scaled down and with a few more prominent monuments, but in keeping with Kaliningrad's 'garden city' directive.

Here's a quick challenge for anyone who picks up this save: I've hidden the 'dictators' Skibbith and TwoDollarsTwenty in this city. If you find them send me a screenshot! Hint: one is north of the river, and the other is south.




Alternate History:
-The year is 1980, and the city is Konstantinovsk. Named for Soviet Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky who played a major part during Operation Bagration in 1944 (though also named to evoke the idea of a 'new Constantinople of the Baltic Soviet Union), Konstantinovsk is built from the rubble of the medieval Prussian city of Brunsburg, the entire metropolitan area having been flattened during the Soviet counterattack on the eastern front during World War II. Only a handful of the original buildings and roads remain, amongst them some Gothic era houses lining the eastern edge of the central pond, two 19th century bastions built into the old city's northeastern walls, and the Brunsburg Cathedral, on the centrally positioned Kreuzhof island surrounded by the Pregel river. In this historical timeline, the Soviets moved quickly to create a modern, garden city in the ruins, and as architectural styles came and went so they left their mark on Konstantinovsk; 50's era apartments and shops line many of the main avenues and ring roads, with the later Krushchyovkas filling the spaces behind, while taller 1970's apartment blocks hold prominent spaces near the newest motorway intersections en route to the city centre. Most prominent (and most recently erected) is the PSSR Assembly building, an imposing tower standing alone at the end of a Lenin-statued promenade, covering the exact spot where Brunsburg's castle once stood, just south of the central pond and north of Kreuzhof and the Pregel river; a symbol of the nominal autonomy and power afforded to the young Prussian Soviet Socialist Republic. -

Amazing work! :steamhappy:
As a resident of Kaliningrad, I am impressed by the high precision of detail!
Unfortunately, I have been loading your project for 40 minutes with all the assets, so my computer won't be able to continue your journey...
It would be great if you posted a map with historical buildings of Kaliningrad / Koenigsberg as a basis for further creativity :steamthis:

Thank you SimonSim! I have a series where I'm doing this build again from scratch with a little more similarity to Kaliningrad, if you're interested you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPvfjOt_d0sFHBz7cbtzlkB2eIac7FtsK

Ah, I see that it's a city similar to Kaliningrad. Sovet architecture is also quite interesting, but in my opinion it would be interesting to see modern Kaliningrad with Königsberg Castle and historical city centre rebuilt, lets hope it will happen in the future in real life. btw great job
