London Townhouse Pack
A BAT pack for London / British cities enthusiast. This pack contains 18 residential, commercial and office buildings and one town medical clinic. The Architectural style is Georgian, very late of 18thcentury, but these kinds of buildings are still common in different parts of the British Isles.
Aesthetically very simple, but I like this period style. And very much in London style. To me a typical London building is this kind of old Georgian house. Although in the City the Georgian buildings are mostly gone, in many places outside of the Square Mile there are still streets lined with the Georgian row houses. Often with upmarket prices.
The BAT design is modular and the houses are variations of same basic structure. I have aimed to create ingame variation with only handful of lots. For example, I have made 8 R$$ houses and 4 lots (2 1x2 and 2 1x1) with 12 separate house extension props. The house extension props are grouped as prop families, so type and number of extension should vary from lot to lot. In theory, this should give over hundred different combinations for the lot, although difference can be minima for overall game.
However, using separate house extension has caused some problems. The extension props overlaps slightly with the houses and sometime a corner of the prop is invisible or leaves a hole. Also need to align the extension props to the houses, causes these lots to be slope unfriendly. Max slope before foundation is limited to 1 and I don’t think these lots would look nice in mountainous maps.

The house model is based on a real life building in Smithfields, East London. Artillery Lane 54-56. The shops are still standing (or were at least few years ago) and the façade is original or faithful to original Georgian design. I think today these building are residential buildings, but the Georgian shop windows remain. I found a scale drawing of these houses and the BAT model is made by using this info. The scale is real life scale and it makes the buildings look slightly smaller than SC4 comparison buildings from batters such as Gascooker. But then again, the historic Georgian buildings tend to be smallish, so I don’t think that size is a big issue.
I did choose medium wealth level as originally these houses were often inhabited by carpenters, merchants, sea captains, watchmakers and other artisans. People whom I would call as Georgian / Victorian middle class. By late Victorian times many streets and houses had dilapidated to rentroom housing and slums. Therefore I made few R$ rookery versions. Today these houses would probably be High Wealth, at least in good areas, so please adjust setting to your liking.
