The 1x2/1x1 plot shrinking is a feature of the building themes mod, to support themes with small buildings. The mod checks if there are any props in the backyard and resizes the plot.
It'll be a few days before I can retexture them all and add LODs (I see, the auto-generated LODs aren't great - too bright and blurred). In the meantime, how can I play with the beta version of the building theme?
I think these roofs should be recolored: A, C, H, maybe G.
Some orange and dark grey roofs would be great. I can provide a texture if you want.
Another problem is that you filled all "backyard spaces" of the houses with props. That's a problem when you have a road block with a depth of 4 blocks: The 1x4 version will spawn and no space is left on the other side.
I also think that such a big garden is unrealistic for such a small house. I would only fill one or two of the backyard spaces, maybe like this: http://i.imgur.com/SX3yQl3.jpg
You could replace the ugly concrete ground with the "tiling" prop in the asset editor. Or just keep the default grass ground for some houses.
Another problem is that there is no LOD model. The auto-generated LOD looks really bad when you zoom out.

They work with boformer's building theme mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=466158459&searchtext=theme
I don't like the very purple version in the bottom left, I will replace it. I'll also add some weathering to some of the houses...
@tiefling, yes I hope we can make a theme for the theme mod! :)
I'd been wondering about adding some weathered textures underneath the colour. So it looks like a good way to go. Also, the house versions in the workshop do have different shades of roof - the image is from my own beta version. I hope to add more images (including a couple of real-life photos).
About the brightness of colour though - some of the houses round here really are that bright. The photo doesn't do them justice! :)
1. The current color looks kind of strange. Maybe it would be better to vary the roof colors (red, brown, grey)
2. The walls look too clean. Add some texture to the wall, like cracks, bricks or dirt.
3. The colors are too bright. Tone down the colors a bit.
Also, is there a LOD model? If not, create one. Maybe you can use the same lod model and texture for all variations.
This looks like a nice reference picture: http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02589/houses_2589500b.jpg
