St Georges Apartments 1.0.0

As someone who grew up working class, I really appreciate this BAT. SimCity 4's vanilla buildings suggests every lower-income home is either a ramshackle shack or a trash-covered urban ghetto. The truth is, they're not.

They may not have the nicer features or finishes, with vinyl siding instead of fiber cement, smaller window:wall ratios, and metal panels instead of brick veneer. But people don't just want a solid, safe roof over their heads, they want a place they're proud to call home, they may not have much but they want to keep their dignity. Purpose-built low-moderate income housing seeks to do that, and designs like this BAT are examples of that effort. It's not palatial, there are no rooftop pools, but it's comfortable and complements its surroundings as affordability allows.

Of course, the extra mile of effort shows in the lotting, the modding, the visual of the underground garage, and the diagonal plop, which is useful for breaking up the SC4 street grid. But thanks to BATters like Mattb325, your less wealthy sims can live in dignified domiciles. 5/5!

thank you for this important upgrade in low cost housing     beautiful model with lots that help break that SC4 grid

 

Superb, Matt. One can never have too many of your residentials bats, or your bats for that matter. I'm into mid-cities now and your creations make them looks as much authentic as possible, and I thank you for that. 

Thank you so much for your tireless effort and always top-notch BATs, Matt. 

It is great to have this heterogeneity of low-wealth residential buildings (and that garage it's definetively a fantastic feature!).

Splendid! Great parking spaces. And the underground garage looks marvelous.

We never get enough of these amazing BATs, thanks Matt
