Hello guys!

I have recently learned how to import my own custom models to this game, so I'm revamping my previous mods - I will still keep them online as to not harm anyone's save, though. This is my first upload in this new cycle.

INTRODUCTION

The late 50's and early 60's urban planning favored huge residential complexes built with prefab parts to eradicate homelessness in poor countries, but the reality in Latin America was that most governments in the region lacked qualified manpower, money and resources to design and widely implement such projects. Apart from that, most latin-americans strongly associate the single-family home standard as a sign of well-being and aconomic prosperity.

Those factors made latin-american governments, then and until this day, invest in housing projects made up of several single or double family homes - this was true in capitalist countries as Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, etc, and even socialists as Cuba.

In this pack you will finde some examples of said housing, designed for large working-class families, that are characteristic of the period and that can be found all over the region. The architectural style is modern. The houses on themselves are pretty small - 36 to 48 square meters - but the lot is somewhat spacious - 150 square meters - allowing for a modest but still confortamble living quality for large families.

GAMEPLAY

This set is comprised of 6 small houses - 3 single-story houses for one family and 3 two-story houses for two families.

Houses 1-3
Workers: 4 workers (one large family)
Quality: 86%

Houses 4-6
Workers: 8 workers (two large families)
Quality: 82%

Each house has 9 skins, including the base one - remember to download the skins mods!

I hope you all enjoy!

@Mönchmandel Hello! Its "Pings Texture Composition V3.2", you can find it in the workshop. Great mod, go check it out!

@Whitek3t, thanks for pointing it out. I've tested the Slums Pack, however, and could not see any buggy texture, all is working fine. Have you checked if you have downloaded my necessary parts mod? It should be linked there. As for the "simple urban houses" the fix is simple yet time-consuming, so I will check it out later, but it is sure not on my priority list.

@Griffon0129, thanks amigo! More to come soon

I like the look of your mods, I've downloaded several after seeing this on the workship
it reminded me of Tropico houses!

What mod are you using for the roads to look so nice?
Whitek3t 22 Mar, 2023 @ 4:25am 
House1 of Simple Urban Houses have broken roof indeed.

Same goes for Slums Pack, all of the houses.

@Whitek3t, I am surely not going the re-release the old packs as the new ones that I'm making are simply superior - the old ones will eventually get substituted by the new. Having said that, could you please pont me to wich buildings are buggy? On my account only the "Simple Urban Houses" should be having issues.

Thank you!

@mocma, @Duke, @gonzaldd, thank you/gracias/obrigado!

@l4D6hkIR09A1pGu, hi! Once I have other new uploads I will make a collection! (my previous mods are already on a collection, by the way)

@OnyxGuardian1337, yeah, I might change this in the future, but I always thought 3 things: i) how unintegrated are the mechanical and electronic components with the daily life of our Republics; ii) how boring is to have such a complex building mechanic but only using 2-3 materials for each building; iii) Electrical components are clearly meant to represent electrical wiring, for example (see asphalt road construction) and mechanical components a generic representation of different forms of steel tools, machines and implements, which naturally are used in a construction. For now I wish to keep them as requeried materials as its enriches immersion and challenge for me.


Thank you all for the comments! Additional content in the next days

I hope you would re-release the old packs using your new method. I always get texture errors in most of your old buildings.

very good work.

These look very nice, though i was caught off guard with them requiring mechanical and electronic components to build.

Those are adorable and awesome!
