These are incredible, thank you so much for making them! I'm building Detroit right now and I couldn't get it right without houses like these and your others (like the rows of Hamtramck houses).

Adding to what Bungalow Man said, there are a ton of these bungalows and others in this area. Look up Mt Olivet Cemetery, and the suburbs in that area (Von Steuben, LaSalle, Mt Olivet, and others) are just constant lines of bungalows like these, even some tudor ones that I adore. East of the cemetery are a lot of pristine ones, and west past the train tracks are a lot of dilapidated ones (you can tell what areas are abandoned by how many empty lots there are - heartbreaking, but it is what it is).

That whole area has a lot of different home styles, usually huge lines of identical ones. Just go into Google maps satellite view and wander around (and use 3D mode and ctrl+click+drag to tilt, took me way too long to figure that one out) - there's tons of inspiration to be had for house styles!

@Khrysler The Bartlett Building! I know the one you mean now. One of the few remaining art deco gems in the city, across from the Security Building and the HSBC building and the Capitol. I've made numerous etchings and drawings of it. I've never let myself believe a French company would select a Windsor building for an international game, so I figure it's a common design from a time, but who knows. It does look identical though, you're right!

It's at the corner of Pelissier and University Ave W. It's actually one of my few favorite buildings from vanilla tho!

@Khrysler Really? I hadn't noticed, but most of Windsor's architecture does resemble the apathetic style of CS vanilla buildings, so it makes sense!

@HighParkBookworm
Awesome! Btw, I believe one of vanilla office buildings is from Windsor

Agreed with Bungalow Man; this is almost an exact replica of my childhood home in Windsor. Excellent work! Finally I can re-create my hometown if I want to.

@Bungalow Man
Thanks :) I'll keep in mind that area to make potential variations

These are great. Many homes like these in the Detroit area, particularly in Dearborn.

@Gaseous Stranger
Awesome. Happy to hear that they work for your current project!

@eloisiana
You got me on this one. When I saw these 2 little houses by accident, they gave me Simcity 4 nostalgia and that's one of the reasons I made them :)
eloisiana 15 Jun, 2022 @ 11:27pm 
These remind me of the homes in Sim City 4, good job as always.

Very nice, see these all around Pittsburgh. Will be featuring these in my build series alongside your other great creations! Thanks for sharing

@Gilded Age
It is a tile prop that I used for a patio in backyard. Hope you have the DLC..!

Just curious - what prop are these referencing that make Park LIfe DLC required?
