Identical Subarbs and Neighbourhoods

[Century City 0]

The title may be a  little misleading. I am making a city in my LONDON region. It is the large city tile in the center. The city is divided by a river. I have finished the top half of it, including downtown and the main city. The lower half, I want it to be a mere subarb. But to make it like an authentic, realistic subarb, I want to make the houses in the subarb identical. I want a couple types of  smalll houses so I can build little colonies/neighbourhoods. I hope there is some kind of BAT or MODD for this, so if there is can someone tell me. I'm sure there is, because I've seen them in a couple city journals where thte houses come in the same design or colour in one area. I'm not sure if they choose want type they want or it just happens, or if you zone a different way or anything. Also, If i cover about a fifth of a large city with small subarban houses RES 1, and all of them were used and occupied, how much population would I have. I know this is a lot to say, and yo're probably bored of reading, so sorry. Please help. 

Thanx

Zoning 1x1 light residential will get you a lot of houses that, while maybe not exaclty identical, will be very similar. Some tilesets are better than others for that. If you need to, you can use the 'make historical' button on the houses you like, while demolishing the others and waiting for them to grow back, hopefully as the house you want.

There's also the plop mod(https://www.simtropolis.com/modding/index.cfm?p=details&id=183), you have to be carefull with that, though. You need to place residential buildings on land that is already developed, so that they will function properly.

There's a recent mod that stops Maxis buildings appearing. If you use that while making the suburbs, and have one res building in your plugins folder, only that will develop. Make them historical (Could take a while!) and remove the mod afterwards.

Actually there is a anothert mod as well. https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=11582<br />It pushes all Maxis building into one tileset, so you can select and deselect them without exiting the game. <br />Alternatively, you can grow just Maxis buildings, great mod.
