Ploppable Modern Villas, by Mattb325.
---------------------------------------

Many modern mansions are often positioned along rocky coastlines, secluded, private beaches or heavily forrested glades that are not easily accessible to the general public.

Exclusivity and privacy are key to the modern villa compound favoured by today's rich.

This poses a problem in SC4 as residential lots all need access to a road, and that of course means a lot must be made, and the downloader is often subject to the whims and tatses of the lot-maker: certainly houses that are off the beaten track are almost impossible to achieve in the constraints of SC4 RCI zoning.

So to that end, the five previously released modern villas have all been made into a single building family to enable the user to place them wherever he or she wants.

There is a single 1x1, neutral lot in the landmark menu, and to avoid clutter, each time you plop, you will get a different house at random. In order to be placed in very out-of-the-way locations, I have enabled these houses to light up without needing any electricity supply.

These have been modded, so that you can then MMP right up to and even underneath the houses to lay out driveways, paths, fences, flower beds and trees to your taste.

As per the pictures, these can be placed creatively on the map and can easily accommodate tropical, Mediterranean or temperate themes. You are limited only by your imagination.

The MMPs used in these pictures are a combination of SFBT, Heblem, Girafe, VIP, orange-o, CP, BSC, NBVC, Chris Adams and funlight. I would recommend searching on these users to get a huge array of MMP items to really customise your cities.

If you use the dark nite version, you will need a dark nite mod. (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/23089-simfox-day-and-nite-modd/)

Every time you release these sorts of BATs and these unique ideas, it really inspires new ways to play the game and new cities and scenes to create.  It's easy to start off this game thinking you'll blanket the entire region in skyscrapers, only to find it is just as enjoyable to create the types of areas where, for example, a secluded private villa may fit perfectly.  Thank you for this!

Not only are each of these Villas miniature works of art, but they are going to be fun to play with.  These would adapt easily to the "Hollywood Hills" or "Malibu" lifestyles -- but by making them "ploppable" -- you have made it possible to recreate the lavish living found in parts of Spain, and along the French and Italian Rivieras.  In those areas, the villas are often not far apart, but are virtually separated by the rugged terrain.  Each one of these villas will become a "jewell" set in a unique creation of terrain and landscaping.
