About This File

Finally! You can have those endless rowhouse neighborhoods that youve always wanted. I have made 6 different R$ rowhouse lots. They are of late 1800s style found mainly in chicago after the great fire. There are 8 different lots that feature these 6 buildings. All rowhouse buildings hold 45 people (fits Maxis' weird population scale) and cost 150 to bulldoze. You are GUARANTEED a rowhouse community if you zone residential staggered M/H/M/H/M/H ect.. as shown in picture 2. I have also included my edited residential lots which will make your residential communities look MUCH better. The 3x1 lots have been edited to only have a single house, not the 2 rowed look... totally unrealistic and im sure youll love it.

also, when you zone medium density you will get medium density, I have edited over 20 lots to make sure that when you have medium wealth areas, you still have those R$$ rowhouses popping up everywhere. This will allow you to have much more control over how your residential areas develop.

 

I have also edited down the size of 80% of those huge mansions so they can fit on a 4x? grid and not take up a whole block and look totally out of place.

 

My rowhouses and the edited residential lots are in seperate folders so you can choose not to use either if you dont like them. I guarantee that if you are a fan of realism or rowhouses, you will most definatly love this package, and this may be your favorite download to date. Any questions please ask.

 

This is the quitesential** rowhouse package, no plopping, no abandonment, LOW WEALTH, MEDIUM WEALTH.. Everything youve ever wanted out of a rowhouse package! And they look great too!

I'm living in one of these right now! Boston has a ton of them, and my college has 100s of these as dorms. Great work.

could we get a better picture perhaps? i don't think we need to see the green zones to know its a res lot ;). they look great, were u going for the SF look? and maybe more of a varitiy in the facade? add some plants maybe?

There are lots of plants actually.. Most of the rowhouses have plants in front of them. And there are trees in back, but they are flora so they grow. Also, the tops of the buildings are most definatly chicago style.

Also, I have included the picture of the zoning because if you dont zone medium/ dense/ medium/ dense ect.. you will not get the rowhouses most likely you will get apartments..

They're too short. If you scale the height upward by 50% they'll look good. Still you did a good job.

Oke, i've checked them out - just one slight remark. I'd love to see some roofwork in order to have some variation. Other than this, it's definitely excellent work.

I'll give you all the points you deserve... but, I can't give you a 675. Will a 10 do? :)

first off, they are just a tad small I know that.. but they dont look out of place. My edited huge mansions replace the originals.. You might not want to use them if you have a bunch of stuff already built.. get funny results on the existing lots.

Secondly.. how much roof junk is on a normal 19th century house anyhow? Trust me it looks more than sufficient in the game..

Do these only grow in the chicago tileset? I like to know this as well as I normally use Hou and Eur. They look fantastic though, so perhaps I will change to Chi
