Дом советов (House of Soviets)

 

 

 

The House of Soviets is a building located in Kaliningrad in the Kaliningrad oblast, an exclave of Russia. The building is built on top of the foundations of the Königsberg castle which was severely damaged during World War II.

Construction on the building, which was to be the central administrative office of the Kaliningrad oblast, started in 1960 but was stopped in 1980 due to loss of interest. Although, now painted to look finished, the original building stands vacant and unfinished to this day.

This version of the building is an artist’s impression of how the building would have looked if it had been finished in the 80s.

 

The building has a podium which can be dug into the ground. Therefore you have to raise the ground by 8 meters on one side.

Dependencies:

To make sure the buildings function properly ingame, you’ll need the following dependencies:

 

BSC Mega Props CP Vol.01

 

Installation:

Download either the maxis night or the dark night pack. After this, it is recommended to make a new subfolder in your simcity4/plugins directory. Place the .SC4MODEL files of the buildings you want to keep in that folder. After this, copy the LOT files of the same buildings to the newly created folder.

Enjoy.

 

To uninstall, first make sure to bulldoze all instances of the building from your city, after this, simply remove the .SC4MODEL and .LOT files from your plugin folder.

Somewhere sealed in the ruined wartime tunnels of the old Königsberg Castle, perhaps even buried beneath this concrete megablock, is the lost looted treasure of the magnificent Amber Room. Well, probably only what little is left of the Amber Room...the long abandoned underground tunnels supposedly have been caving in under the ponderous weight of the House of the Soviets, causing the derelict building to shift and subside. An oddly apt historical metaphor that we can now plop in our SimCities!
