Some of the lots in this download are corrupted and may cause CTDs when growing. Either way they probably won't grow.

For the moment please use the download from this forum post instead:

This entry will be updated once a true dependency list has been deciphered for them.

About This File

This contemporary condominium set includes 14 lots, each including landscaping unique from one another. The only similarity is that each of the 14 lots will use one of the 4 HD house BATs. Either red, green, blue, or taupe. These houses are the first of their kind for SimCity 4, it's been a decade too long in my oppinion without modern suburban houses from your typical North American suburb in SC4.

Please be sure to download all the dependencies for the best experience with this BAT/lot set. The list of what you need is in the installer, I can guarantee you won't miss it (even if you wanted to, it's the licence agreement). Just in case though, the dependency list is included below. If you still do encounter problems, such as not seeing the lots grow, you can always plop them yourself with the extra cheats DLL which can be found in a multitude of areas on this and other websites.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I do, as I'm sure you can tell, I put a lot of hard work into these BATs and an equal amount into the lots. I hope that can be reflected upon you; I'm most certain you won't be dissapointed!

Now that I think about it, there have never been American residential BATs with such an attention to detail and variation. :)

5/5, do I really even need to say it?

What the *beeeeeep*

This sugar honey ice tea is just amazing! I've never seen a house so great.

Edit: I'll lo edit this, the lot is waayyy to bland and may I say sort of ugly. I'll have to delete everything but thte building and redo it.

It's very nice though.

These look just absolutely gorgeous. As someone who likes building suburban areas, these are a definite download for me.

Do I see HD renders? Looks like someone wanted to make sure all the beautiful detail will be visible, hehe...

I always like suburban family homes - there can hardly be enough variety. This is definitely a download for me! I hope you'll keep sharing your superb creations with us.

On a side note, I'd appreciate to know the dependencies up front. Why download, start the installer, read the dependencies, possibly find out that you may not have many of them etc., if all this can be added to the description right away? This way I could download them together with the houses right from the start instead of having to go back and forth.

Since I need to modify the dependency list anyways, I'll make sure I do that and add it here as well. The dependency I will be adding are OPTIONAL and only for flora/people etc. Btw, if anyone wants an HVAC unit prop, it's included as [i]BipinPropsHVAC.[/i]

Might I also suggest more pictures? Some nightlight pictures and an overview showing every lot would be good :)

Looks cool- But the amount of dependencies is a downside- 3/5 because of the dependency list

Theres really no use of me adding a nighttime screenshot as there are no nightlights. Based on how I had to install BAT4MAX and my semi-functional SC4 BAT I cannot render nightlights it seems. If anyone knows why this might occur (I had to install BAT4MAX by dragging files around; manual installation) please let me know. I want nightlights as much as you do! :)

Also, I'd say a 3/5 is a bit harsh based on dependencies alone. Almost half of the dependencies are optional, and if you can't be bothered to download several files (many of which you will already have), then you can sacrifice 10 minutes of your life for extra landscaping. The only reason most of the dependencies labeled as "required" are labelled that way, is so your lots will look at least something like what is in the picture.

Regarding pictures, I will add more tonight. The file was uploaded late last night, and I couldn't fit in everything. Don't worry though, pictures are on the way.

For something this detailed, the dependancies are nothing more than a minor obstacle! This is deserving of no fewer than five stars!

These looks great 5/5! My only question is, is if you know what the buildingplop name (SC4 Extra Cheats) is for your buildings? There are BipinGreen, blue, and red, and none of them work.

These houses are excellent! And the dependencies are hardly an issue, as they are common things that most people would already have anyways.

Now that is harsh... You may be uncomfortable with the number of dependencies, even to a point where you won't download it (though you could just open LE and change it to your liking)... But no matter - the BAT itself is very cool, as you said yourself... and that's what you should rate :-))

Thank you, thank you all! You can expect a reupload tonight of the files with the most required bugfixes, e.g.:

- Fixed the texture issue on the driveway.
- Fixed issues with the building glitching over the my house BATs.
- Fixed some issues with prop placement and overlapping.

While I know it isn't a lot, these fixes should drastically improve the appearance of the lots. If you have anything you would like to see fixed that won't take too long to do (I'm busy with school work) let me know! Respond here! :)
