Since Cali is becoming popular on the STEX, I thought no L.A. scene would be complete without its famous lowriders. So I made two animated automata of the iconic 1964 Chevrolet Impala, a red one for the Bloods and a blue one for the Crips. Included are also static props of the cars to use in the LE. Scale is 20% bigger than real life, to blend in with Maxis cars. Feel like cruisin' on LA boulevards? Just select the appropriate bandana in MySim vehicles and go bouncing up and down throughout your UDI. If you enjoy these creations, check out my other files and as usual stay tuned for more coming to the STEX! justforfun -

Here are 4 re-lots of WannGLondon's fantastic LA houses - here they use a prop family for diversity. Obviously you'll need the original houses as the only dependency. 4 landmark lots with neutralized stats for ease of use. They give a really good LA vibe - especially on FA segments! Enjoy them! Thanks Wann!- 1 Review

My take on a California classic - bungalow courts! Tucked behind bougainvillea-draped gates and shaded by swaying palms, LA’s old bungalow courts whisper the stories of a quieter, dreamier time. These charming clusters of stucco cottages, often arranged around a central garden path, feel like little villages within the city—where neighbors once lingered on front porches, and lovers could steal glances beneath jasmine vines. Their vintage details—arched doorways, sun-warmed tiles, and timeworn charm—make every corner feel like a soft sigh of California romance, timeless and hidden just off the boulevard. Beneath the faded charm and sun-bleached paint, many of LA’s old bungalow courts reveal their age in creaking floorboards, cracked stucco, and sagging roofs. Once idyllic, some now sit weathered and weary—overcrowded, poorly maintained, and patched together with decades of quick fixes. Rust-stained sinks, warped window frames, and overgrown courtyards tell the story of beauty left behind, relics of an era slowly unraveling under the weight of time and neglect. Many are at risk of destruction despite preservation efforts. As the city grapples with housing demand and rising land values, many of these early 20th-century complexes face demolition to make way for high-density projects. Places like the Melrose Avenue and Scott Avenue courts, as well as the garden apartments at Crossroads of the World, stand as poignant examples—where rent-stabilized homes are at risk of being replaced by luxury units or small-lot subdivisions. These redevelopments often displace long-term residents and erase the architectural charm and social fabric that once defined these neighborhoods. I tried my best to represent a few real addresses, using stock Maxis low-income residential props. Easy and realistic results! Here are the real locations, in central LA: 2854 Griffin Ave. - 1x3 - R$ 18 residents - growth stage 2 606 W 81st St. - 1x3 R$ 18 residents - growth stage 3 905 W 81st St. - 2x3 - R$ 21 residents - growth stage 2 8125 S Hoover St. - 2x3 - R$ 24 residents - growth stage 3 8040 S N.H. Ave. - 1x2 - R$ 24 residents - growth stage 3 Based on other popular layouts, I've done a few more: Melrose Manor - 2x3 - R$ 24 residents - growth stage 3 Crenshaw Courts - 2x3 - R$ 24 residents - growth stage 2 They all grow on Houston and Euro tilesets - the more dense ones will only grow on medium density but don't need water. The lighter ones should pop up with low density R$. These are great for urban infill and densifying existing corridors. Use with other great quality LA content for added realism! Thanks to these creators for the inspiration. No dependencies - enjoy!- 2 Reviews

After another viewing of L.A. Confidential, I created a pack of four homes (and a lotted bungalow court) found all over beautiful Los Angeles, California (my home). These sprung up all over the city in the 1920s and there are a plethora of them still around today, also found in neighboring cities. I personally love them and even lotted a bungalow court (another LA favorite style of mine). - Medium wealth, 1x2 lots - Chicago Tileset - All densities - DarkNite versions only- 2 Comments

The Clock Tower Building, built between 1929 and 1930 in Art Déco style, is the 4th highest skyscraper in Santa Monica. For around 40 years it held the record for the tallest building in the skyline. The skyscraper was commissioned by the Bay Cities Guaranty and Loan Association to the Californian architects Albert R. Walker (1881–1958) and Percy A. Eisen (1885–1946), whose firm, Walker & Eisen, with a staff of more than 50 draughtsmen, was the most important leading practice in California in the 1920s. Among its many completed projects, the firm had recently designed the extraordinary skyscraper in the Romanesque Revival style known as the Fine Arts Building in Los Angeles (now owned by Sorgente Group of America), one of the most representative buildings in the city. Notice: 1.- The model presented here is an interpretation of the author. The measurements and size may vary from the original. 2.- The models are not exact replicas of the original building. 3.- This is a work of exploration and experimentation that Diego Del Llano wanted to share with the community of Simtropolis. If some of this work does not satisfy you, you have the option of not download this file. 4.-Diego Del Llano appreciates your understanding and wishes you to enjoy this project to the fullest. 5.- Acknowledgements and all the credits to the original authors of this building.- 1 Comment

Completed in 1964 as the Alcoa Building, One Maritime Plaza is a 25-story building located in San Francisco, California. The distinctive x-bracing on the building's façade is a form of seismic bracing that has the secondary effect of looking pretty sweet. The model presented here is just the tower portion of what in real life is a large elevated plaza that spans two city blocks. This building is offered as a CO$$ growable and ploppable, both on a 4X4 lot. Both provide 3637 jobs, and the growable is a stage 8 building for the Houston and Euro tilesets. Both Darknite and Maxisnite versions are available, and the Darknite version requires the classic Simfox Day and Nite Modd. Dependencies: BSC MEGA Props CP Vol01 (v1.0) BSC Textures Vol 02 (v1.0) That's it! I hope you enjoy it and check out my thread here for a glimpse at what's next.- 1 Comment
