I don't know if you know about it but it's fairly easy to obtain blueprints of buildings from local authorities in Sweden, which makes building a 3D model easier.

Thank you for these buildings! I'm playing with Swedish/Nordic style city myself and I can't really find many buildings which fit truly well. I'm now trying to build a small city now, so I watch many towns in Street View and I think I can tell you what kind of houses I'm missing the most if you're interested.

Absolutely! I'm actually from Finland too but been interested in city planning and architecture, especially in Stockholm, for a long time. Feel free to hit me up anytime if you need some more references or there's any particular type of house you're looking for, I'm happy to help.

No problems. And absolutely, as I am currently making a swedish city buildout myself, and I need at least some buildings that even slightly resemble swedish / nordic / heck, even german architecture for my specific build. Also, thank you very much for the references!!! some of the buildings are exactly the types I was looking for. It is quite difficult for me to find them, as I do not live nowhere near Stockholm and I have to rely on my minimal knowledge that I gathered over the time just browsing google maps of Stockholm :D

Thank you very much! Are you planning on doing more Stockholm buildings? If so, here's just a few ideas:
Some type of "smalhus", for example Hägerstensvägen 148, Aspudden
"Punkthus", like Pelargatan 16, Johanneshov
50s-60s big apartment blocks like Selmedalsvägen 56, Hägersten
"Folkhemmet"-architecture like Vinjegatan 15, Blackeberg or Svartågatan 40, Bagarmossen
Those orange houses from Apelsinlunden, Solberga

Once again thank you very much for the building!

Thank you! If you mean losing a resolution on the buildibg’s walls then this might be because I have made the wall’s texture too small for some reason. And I couldn’t fix it without scrapping the whole UV unvrap. Well, lesson learned, I guess :D

Also regarding @saibotic ’s comment: if you mean the lower floors, then yes, they are missing wooden terraces that they should have in real life. I would recommend using procedural objects if you want to make it look a little bit nicer and to your own liking :)

Tack så mycket! Den här typen av arkitektur är verkligen en bristvara i Cities. Men om jag ändå får lov att komma med en synpunkt så är det husens fasader. De känns lite väl grova i upplösningen när man zoomar in på dem.

Is something missing at the balcony doors on the back?
