About This File

A set of residential building mainly intended for rural and village environment. I have included in the pack one R$$$ Manor house (2 lots), two R$$ residence cottages (6 lots), one R$ small house (2 lots), one R$ town house (2 lots) and two IR farms (2 lots). Plus some stable and shed props to match the half-timber style. Expect the R$ town house, all lots are for low density and for early stages 1-2.

As before, the style is from British Isles, this time in period vaguely Tudor / Elizabethan. I have used my trusty Bilteezi railway model card kits as an inspiration. However, the buildings are adapted and I have used artistic freedom and using my modular approach, I have been able to do several different models from the same building block.

I have built these houses to be a bit more slope friendlier than my previous BATs. I still wouldn’t call the lots as slope friendly, but I have included custom foundations. With modest slopes, there shouldn’t be problems. I have a lot to learn and my trial with prop steps at front of the buildings did not work well.

Nightlights are Maxis, render HD.

I have made two versions of the lots. One is very dependencies heavy with many HD props and textures. Other is with Maxis standard props and some commonly used prop packs. Please choose which version to use. The houses are same in both versions. Only lots and prop packs are different.

Version HTM_Propheavy is the one with HD props by Girafe, Historic Harbour and Vortext’s texture.

Version HTM_CPprops is a light weight version of the lots with CP’s trees, BSC textures and Swi21’s props.

Excellent work on these - I can tell your skills are improving by leaps and bounds with each subsequent release.  As far as the foundation and step issue, you could always drop a post on c.p.'s BAT thread over on SC4D - he is basically the expert when it comes to custom foundations and he might have a few tips/tricks to offer up.

Just like BATing, Lotting takes practice and I can tell you are improving in that area as well.  I'm looking forward to your next project :)
