Haarlemmergold

A German hospital for your European cities. In real life, this building is located in the spa-town of Karlshafen (Weser) which is a fine, yet small, example of 18th century city-building. With its boulevards and hotels and central lake it certainly has grandeur although the number of inhabitants doesn’t exceed that of a large village.

Variation on modern housing blocks from the Western outskirts of Amsterdam (Sloten). Quite a few Dutch new residential city-areas have been built with buildings like this. Not so nice to see (especially when it rains - and it rains a lot in Holland...), but I'm sure they provide comfort inside for the people living there. R$, 3x1 lot 134 occupancy Stage 5 growable No dependencies.

This building is a fine example of Dutch social housing in the 1920’s / 1930’s inspired by English suburban planning. Combined with historic Dutch features of city-building (courtyards and almshouses), these housing projects were very common in the years between WWI and WWII. Examples of these projects can be found in almost any Dutch city or town and were in fact the last mass-building housing projects before the Second World War.

Two wealthy German villas for your cities to grow. The first villa was built just after the German unification and the second one doesn’t really exist in the present form. It’s actually part of a bigger W2W block in the town of Karlshafen (which is surprisingly small for a town with such centre athmosphere).

The Townhall of Haarlem (Netherlands) is was built in the 12th century by the Counts of Holland and has been transformed into the townhall during the 13th century as the city grew to become one of Holland's main trading cities in the Golden Age. The town hall has been painted by famous Dutch painters as Berckheyde and It still serves as townhall of the provincial capital of North-Holland and is open to public.

R$$, 2x1, growable, inc night textures - A residential block form the Southern Hungarian city of Pécs. The building is situated in the main shopping street and is a bank in real-life. I've added a new picture. The first one had accents in the name. I think that's why it didn't appear...

These two buildings were built in the late 19th century, after the German unification. The first stand along the Stadtring in Hameln and the second one is home to an Italian restaurant in the Bavarian city of Regensburg. Both growable buildings serve commercial purposes in the game.

This is a 3d-model of the Amsterdam City Manor of Landgoed Frankendael. It has been built in 1660 and it's the last of its kind within the city boundaries of today. In real life, it can be found along the Middenweg leading towards the town of Diemen. In the game, you can use it as a landmark. I made a ploppable landmark out of it, on a 3x4 lot. Have fun!

In the late seventies and eighties many cheap social housing projects were finished in Dutch cities. Many of these projects still exist till today, such as this one found in Haarlem. Although not very charmful, they make up a certain percentage of some older neighbourhoods of Dutch cities. As of today, you can spice up your Dutch SC4-cities with these ugly and cheap apartments. In the game, they serve the purpose of a 5x1 R$6-residential.

A Tribute to New York, celebrating its 400th anniversary 1609-2009. This old church was built by the Dutch in the 17th century in the colony of Nieuw Amsterdam, to be renamed New York later. The building can be seen in many old paintings from that era depicting the view of the city. In 1674, the Dutch traded Nieuw Amsterdam for Suriname as a result of the Treaty of Breda. After the English takeover, some Dutch buildings survived for a while, but city fires like the Great Fire of 1835 eventually destoryed all of them over time. I made the model by comparing 10 different old paintings and drawings found on the internet and combining them along with architecural elements found in existing old Dutch churches in The Netherlands. The church is placed on a 2x2 Landmark lot.

Dutch historic house from the town of Purmerend, located at the 'Wagenbeurs'. In the game it serves as a R$$$ 1x1 lot. Enjoy.

An original W2W-building form Dutch Haarlem. These row houses were built around 1890 by the time the city was expanding rapidly due to industrial development. In your game, these buildings will grow in your cities as R$$ residentials. I’ve included 6 lots with this download. Have fun!

This is a W2W corner building for your cities in Dutch style. It was erected around 1900 in one of the neighbourhoods directly West of Haarlem city centre. A lot of medium income homes were built in this style around the country in several cities in that time. In your cities you can use it as a R$$ building for you Sims to live in.

Hagestraat (Spaarne) Dutch Riverside Buildings Two buildings that are neighbouring buildings in real-life too. They overlook the river Spaarne in downtown Haarlem, Holland. The stepped gable is a nice example of Dutch architecture around 1610-1630 and the left building has probably been built shortly after the French occupation ended. My guess is that only to front gable was rebuilt by 1820 and the inside and back side are in fact much older. This is Version 2.

These historic Dutch buildings can be found in the city of Haarlem (what a surprise!). The left one is located in the Koningstraat in the shopping district and the white building on the right can be found along the Nieuwe Gracht (‘NewCanal’). I guess the left one was built in its present form by around 1750 and the canal building was built around 1800.

UPDATE: I forgot to add the model files for the farms. This was fixed in this update. I created a small pack of Dutch farm buildings. It contains a modern barn as seen much in the Dutch countryside, a farm building from the province of South-Holland with a built- in small barn and a small farm building from North-Holland (Edam e.o.). I also made a few LOTs with the buildings, but being a city-boy myself without any knowledge of how a realistic farm lot should look like, I must stress that this pack is mainly meant to make a farm-LOT yourself! So have fun with this do-it-yourself pack!
