Kensington Apartments, by Mattb325.
---------------------------------------

A fictional development, based on a new build in London's West End, Kensington apartments was created to compete with some of the mid-rise R§§§ aprtment complexes which can become quite repetitive in game. The single versions have stats similar to the in-game 'Packard Apartments' and should compete fairly well with this, and similarly-sized Maxis buildings.

Like many of the newer London developments, this design is fairly straightforward: double storey entrance lobby (and ground floor flats each with a fenced off outdoor area) and then double storey sub-penthouse and penthouse levels. 

The building is twelve stories tall. 

As is often typical in inner-city developments, none of the apartments has particularly large balconies: traffic noise usually makes these less than inviting spaces. Floor to ceiling triple-glazed windows on all sides of the building more than adequately make up for this lack of terrace space.

The communal planting includes a mix of deciduous trees and conifers; the larger lots have both a heated indoor pool and tennis court for the exclusive use of the residents. 

These apartments are presented in 6 lot options: a 2x1, a 2x2, a 2x3, a 4x4, a 5x5 and a 6x6 lot. They grow on all tilesets and all have varying stats depending on the lot size.

These are a good mid-rise, high wealth, medium density filler lots for your cities.

NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE:

This download contains TWO model files; one for dark nite users (and other night-time darkening mods, such as Gizmos night-mod) and one for the standard Maxis nite. 
You must keep only one file - depending on which version you use. If you are unsure whether you have a night-darkening mod installed, then choose the Maxis night version. Regardless of which file you choose to keep, make sure you DO NOT delete the Lot File!

If you use the dark nite version, you will need a dark nite mod.

---------------------------------------

NOTE ABOUT PARKING TEXTURES:

As these models contain garaged underground parking, the lots do not come with parking textures. Any parking textures that may appear in the in-game screen shots belong to adjacent lots and are not part of this download. If you wish to add acres of parking or change the type of concrete textures, please use the lot editor to do so.

@marcelodeejay. DO NOT rate something a 1 star simply because you failed to perform some necessary steps in order to get it to work. I appreciate that you have just joined the community but if you do not understand something - ask. Don't denigrate.

Did you actually unzip the file? Did you place the contents of said zip file in your plugins folder after selecting the Maxis or Dark nite model? Did you read the READ ME? Did you read the description? Did you check to make sure you have the dependencies? Do those things FIRST before you decide it doesn't work. I have already seen it on other people's screen shots posted here in the forums, so I know for a fact it works.

If I had but one wish it would be to turn off the ratings system once and for all.

Hello, I'm grateful for your return. I did everything that was necessary, but I can not visualize it. Probably some problem with my version of SimCity. Thank you and keep up the good work.

For people intending to continue to create reasonable good quality content, it may be better to switch from a member-rated system to a more 'editorial' form of rating where the work is verified to have actually been evaluated by an 'editor' --still allowing commentary.  I've read enough reviews on the STEX to realize very few reflect much actual evaluation or appreciation of the work for a variety of reasons I suppose.

Fine - so if the problem is with you, do not give other people's work a 1 star.

Why don't you just ask for assistance in one of the forums if you don't know what you are doing? Sheesh.

I appreciate your suggestion. I believe foruns are ways to add knowledge.

I still hope to use your work in my cities. I'll keep trying.

Regards.
