Midwestern Prewar Pack - Double-Wide Lot

A throwback to simpler times. Including updates novel to the modern era - indoor plumbing, refrigeration, heating systems, and driveway space for your new Model T!

Description

A set of 3 incredibly common house types found throughout the United States (particularly the Midwest/Great Lakes and adjacent regions - Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, West Virginia, Kentucky, etc), built primarily between the turn of the 20th century and the Interwar Period (maybe 1890-1939).

This set features them in a 2x2 lot with a porch pathway and driveway, along with other decorations. The bungalow is also about 10% bigger to fill the lot out more. The sister set uses a 1x2 lot with no porch walks and driveways for more customization.

• First is a 1.5-story shotgun-style longhouse, of the type typically imagined by children when you tell them to draw a house (or its two-story equivalent: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2033352145). This may be the most common pre-ranch home style in North America, being found from rural Georgia to downtown Minneapolis, the Old West to the North-est East of Maine. In Chicago, they call them "worker's cottages" and usually build them of brick, but I based this model particularly on a building found in Detroit: Become Human (visible in this group of pics from the dev):

• Next up, a personal favorite and sequel to the lowrise of the last series: the craftsman bungalow. This one pairs well with the Sears Home collection by Kliekie or the similar bungalow by the venerable and unfortunately moved-on False Lucidity. This particular style always reminded me of an airplane, with its flared eaves and arrowed dormer. It is based off of several in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania:

• Last up was perhaps the most tedious to make, but it ended up pretty cute. An elongated version of the classic American Foursquare, with a brick facade twist and a small rear addition. I hate to remake styles that already exist on the workshop, but this one is very common across the Eastern Seaboard up to the Mississippi. It is also my largest asset to-date by tris (slightly over 1k). Loosely based on several in Pittsburgh and the D:BH developer concept pics:

Recommended Assets

Several Pdelmo assests (Regular Bush tiny, green), Beardmonkey assets (Wooden Fence 01 4m & 8m), SKF assets (concrete theme decals and driveways), a DethKwok asst (4m Driveway) and vanilla assets (benches, ac, pipes, etc) were used to decorate the lots, but not having these other assets will do no harm.

I should also note that many of my assets share textures, so if you have Loading Screen Mod, you'll see some decent load time savings.
