I feel like I have not been active in the community for a while, but I am still BAT-ting and enjoying the game - apologies for the distance! I was not sure what to call this pack, but nevertheless, here are a pack of four churches/cathedrals inspired by those found in Valletta, Rome, and Paris, all with my signature Mediterranean feel. They are offered as museums and libraries in-game under the education menu. Only dependency is here. -

This is a simplified rendition of the Masjid Salim Abu Muslim (مسجد سليم أبو مسلم), a beautiful modern W2W mosque from the town of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip, Palestine. A small farming town for most of its history best known for producing strawberries and citrus fruits, Beit Lahia underwent massive growth in the 21st century with the construction of the Beit Lahia housing project, in which more than 13,000 housing units were built to ease overcrowding in the nearby Jabalia refugee camp, carry out a programme of urban renewal and beautification (in tandem with attempts to improve the nearby wastewater treatment plant), and—after 2008—provide homes for those displaced by war. This saw the population grow from about 38,000 to over 90,000. This renewal and growth spurred the Salim Abu Muslim mosque, previously based in a much smaller building, to seek to expand to new premises. This new building was completed in 2018. Situated on the town's main street, just north of the Beit Lahia project, the mosque quickly became a local landmark with its characteristic turquoise dome, blue-tinted windows and richly decorated interior. There are not many photos of the building available, which is why I reduced the east wall, abutting the shops, to a blank wall (it had windows and other details in reality). It was also built on the side of a hill, such that the back (south) wall is significantly shorter than the front, and the main entrance at the corner of Ramla Street had a more extended stairwell and ramp which I did not model in the interests of keeping the building within a 4x2 footprint. I also did not model the interior. Unfortunately, like many buildings in the northern Gaza Strip it was almost completely destroyed in November 2023 by Israeli forces during the ongoing war and genocide in the Gaza Strip, which has forced much of the population of Beit Lahia to flee. For the time being, this commemorative model will have to stand in. 4x2 wall-to-wall corner lot Two versions: House of Worship reward and eyecandy landmark MaxisNite and DarkNite versions included; choose only one DarkNite requires the Day and Nite Modd ^ Original Pic Name: 462231132_2509965349194352_2758411923648901964_n.jpg- 6 Comments

Flowery Pagoda ( Chinese:花塔 ) is inside The Temple of the Six Banyan Trees or Liurong Temple ( Chinese: 六榕寺 )，which is a Buddhist temple in Guangzhou, China, originally built in AD 537. History about The Temple of the Six Banyan Trees or Liurong Temple: The Baozhuangyan Temple was first constructed by the monk Tanyu under orders from Emperor Wu of the Liang in AD 537. It was constructed to house the relics of Cambodian Buddhist saints which had been brought to Panyu (modern Guangzhou). The temple was burned down and rebuilt during the Northern Song dynasty. Around the same time, Su Shi composed a poem "Six Banyans" (Liu Rong) in honor of a visit to the temple. It was since renamed in honor of the famous poem. Flower Pagoda, the main structure of the temple, was built in 1097 and was named for its colorful exterior. The Flower Pagoda once had a square base in its architecture, but was given an octagonal shaped base after it was rebuilt in 1097. It was rebuilt again in 1373 after another fire in the early Ming dynasty period and restored in 1900. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- STATS LM : Lot size : 2x2 Plop Cost : 3000 Budget Cost: 249 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Remind: Download "MaxisNite" or "DarkNite" ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dependence: None Optional: (For DarkNite) SimFox Day and Nite Modd ( https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/23089-simfox-day-and-nite-modd/ )- 7 Reviews

New England Style Church, by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- The New England style of Church surrounded by deciduous trees in autumnal hues is an often photographed building: they are - pictorially at least - an archetypal representation of the rural idyll of America's North East. This BAT is typical of the style: quite utilitarian, made of weatherboard and timber painted in crisp white (including the steeple). The buildings have classical, greek-revival style elements such as dentil moldings and ionic columns executed in timber, but overall, they are restrained and unadorned. This church is on a 2x3 lot and it is found in the reward menu. This church is modded in such a way as to be most beneficial to smaller towns, but of course it can be placed in a big city if you wish. It will boost surrounding desirability for residential and provides cap relief as well as park and mayor effects. It also has some slope tolerance to enable you to replicate the typical new england small town scene. It has no monthly cost and is also free to plop down. There are no restriction as to how often these lots can be placed. --------------------------------------- STATS: Lot size: 2x3 Plop Cost: $0 Bulldoze Cost: $1,000 Monthly Cost: $0 Wealth: Medium Park Effect: 45 over 18 tiles Mayor Rating: 1 over 110 tiles Pollution at Centre: 1 (air) /1 (water) /4 (garbage) Pollution Radius: 2/3/0 Cap Relief: R$$ 5,000 Power Consumed: 0 Mwh Water Consumed: 0 Gallons Occupant Groups: Reward; Worship. --------------------------------------- NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE: This download contains TWO model files; one for dark nite users and one for the standard Maxis nite. If you are unsure whether you have a night-darkening mod installed, then choose the Maxis night version. If you use the dark nite version, you will need a dark nite mod.

History: The Temple of Olympian Zeus, also known as the Olympieion or Columns of the Olympian Zeus, is a former colossal temple at the center of the Greek capital Athens. It was dedicated to "Olympian" Zeus, a name originating from his position as head of the Olympian gods. Construction began in the 6th century BC during the rule of the Athenian tyrants, who envisaged building the greatest temple in the ancient world, but it was not completed until the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, some 638 years after the project had begun. During the Roman period the temple, which included 104 colossal columns, was renowned as the largest temple in Greece and housed one of the largest cult statues in the ancient world.

Chapter 20 - The Church
drocca posted a City Journal entry in Izzy City - A Ghost Town Exploration Story
Chapter 20 The explorers left the apartment, met up with Megan in the parking lot and got back in the van. Melissa drove the van down the avenue, until they reached an avenue-avenue intersection. Ahead of them was a steep, 20-degree slope. The road condition still looked reasonably good. “Imagine trying to get up that slope in a cheap ‘80s car like a Chevette.” said Megan. “I’ve been in a Ford Pinto going up this hill. Not fun, you have to floor it the whole way and it still got down to 15 mph. This was after it was known that they were explosive, too. Not fun.” said Melissa. “Do you think your van could get up there easily?” asked Billy. “No problem. Want to go up the hill?” asked Melissa. The others agreed, and Melissa drove the van up the hill, turned around at the crest, and drove back down, effortlessly. “Cars have come a long way.” said Billy. After proving the Odyssey’s prowess, the explorers went to a Baptist church. The church had several buildings, in various states of disrepair; a fire-hall like building was completely collapsed, and a small chapel was on the verge of collapse, but a gym building, and two other brick buildings still looked to be in relatively good shape. It was a sizable church, probably with a congregation numbering near a thousand, as well as a school, as evidenced by an overgrown sports field with a collapsed restroom building next to it. “This was the General Baptist Church of Izydorczak, the largest church in Izzy. I went here for the first 23 years of my life.” said Melissa. “I’m surprised this is the largest. I would have expected a megachurch somewhere. I’ve seen a lot of churches here, though.” said Billy. “Nope, we had 204 churches in Izzy. There would always be something going on at one near your house. Izzy was about 97% Christian, and probably close to 90% of people would be at church on any given Sunday morning.” said Melissa. “I know I go every Sunday. I would’ve probably enjoyed it here.” said Billy. “I would have welcomed you with open arms.” said Melissa. Melissa parked the van, and the explorers got out at the gym building. The building, which had a circular medallion at the top that said “1985”, was missing most of its roof shingles, but the building itself was still relatively intact. Some of the windows were blown out. “We only had, I think, 4 services in this gym. The building was brand new when it was abandoned, we’d just inaugurated it on March 1. Two years to build it, used for just a few weeks. I remember we had a $400,000 fundraiser to build this gym, I donated a grand myself. At least we know it was well built.” said Melissa. The gym’s wood floor was only buckled slightly. The red paint on the cinderblock walls was still mostly intact, and the school’s mascot, the Cavaliers, was still painted at the ends of the basketball court. About 400 chairs were set up for the March 29, 1987 service, which never came. There was little to the room that wasn’t visible from an overview look, so the explorers moved on to a hallway that served as a reception area. “Had this building been abandoned just half a day later, it would be in a lot worse shape. On this table, they always set out donuts and coffee.” said Melissa. A stack of church bulletins was on the wooden table, all dated March 29, 1987. “Can I have one?” asked Billy. “Yes, but just one.” said Melissa. Billy looked at the church bulletin, which was a six-page hamburger-style folded, stapled document typed out on a typewriter. The first page had statistics: membership of 626, last Sunday’s attendance of 831, peak attendance recorded August 3, 1986 at 1,017. Turning the page, Billy could see that the sermon planned for March 29th was “spiritual rebirth”. “How odd that the sermon would be on ‘rebirth’ the day after everyone in Izzy was forced to go through a major change, a rebirth in a different sort of way. Almost poetic. I think that God was trying to send the people of Izzy out into the rest of the world at large, to make it a better place.” said Billy. “I’d like to think so myself.” said Melissa. The next page of the bulletin listed upcoming events, and there was at least one for each day of the week: Monday’s homeless shelter ministry, Tuesday’s visit to the retirement home, Wednesday’s youth and college ministries, Thursday’s community lunch, and Friday’s game night. There was a total of 12 events one could go to – and even 3 job openings. “Someone could have practically lived here if they wanted to.” said Billy. “A few people did, mostly retirees or college students on summer break.” said Melissa. The explorers continued to find a plaque still hanging on the wall, intact, revealing the name of the gym as the “Jim Utz Memorial Gym”. Underneath was a short description of Jim Utz’s life. JAMES RICHARD UTZ – April 2, 1934 – October 8, 1984 Jim Utz was a life-long member of General Baptist of Izzy and brought a great deal of joy and comfort to everyone he encountered during his 50 years. He was often among the first faces our church members saw as a greeter and stood out as an especially kind member of our church. In addition to his impact at GBI, he also worked as a therapist and took great pride in his work. We dedicate this gymnasium to his memory. Dedicated Sunday, March 1, 1987 “That’s terrible, he died at only 50 and then his memorial plaque was only seen for a month.” said Megan. “What did he die of?” asked David. “Bowel cancer. My dad knew him for a few years, maybe about ’80 to ’83 or so? He looked for Jim again in the late ‘80s, looking to reconnect, but Jim had been deceased for a few years and he didn’t know because he’d been off at college, he’d been at a campus ministry but out of church.” said Billy. “That’s really sad, your dad was a blessed man for having known Jim though.” said Melissa. The explorers left the gym and went to the chapel. The chapel’s white paint was heavily chipped, the windows were all gone, and the whole structure leaned to the right at about a 5-degree angle. The building looked ready to keel over to the right and fall. “I presume you don’t want to go in this one, Megan?” asked Billy. “I don’t even want to get within 50 feet of it.” said Megan. “Yeah, this is a bridge too far even for me.” said David. “I guess it’s just me and you, Melissa.” said Billy. Billy and Melissa carefully walked into the chapel. “Do they have no standards on what they’ll explore?” asked David. The interior of the chapel was wrecked. The dark green carpet floor was cracked down the middle, leaving the left side of the floor intact, but the right side angled downward at about a 15-degree angle. The wall covering was nearly gone, leaving only a few bits of plaster and paint exposed amid the bare lath. The multicolored pieces of a stained-glass window were strewn about the choir’s area at the front of the chapel, amid a baby grand piano and digital organ. Near the broken windows, there was grass, 4 inches tall in some spots. Church bulletins were piled up against the right-side wall, next to a small end table; both had fallen whenever the floor had caved in. “Stay to the left.” said Melissa. There wasn’t much of the chapel they could explore; the stairs to the basement and upper level would have required walking over the obviously unstable floors on the right side of the room. Nevertheless, Billy got to a spot near the middle of the left wall and filmed the entire main room and what he could of the balcony. Looking back, both could see that the balcony was visibly sagging, and a section had fallen on the right side. The Bibles in the pews, which were wooden with upholstery the same color as the floor, were still largely intact, shielded from the elements by their pockets. Billy sat down in a pew and said a prayer for the explorers’ safety on the trip and thanked God for the opportunity. Melissa put her left hand on Billy’s head and joined him in prayer. About 15 seconds after the prayer was finished, Billy heard a cracking sound under him. “Oh, s- no!” he yelled, springing to his feet. “We gotta get out of here.” Billy looked down, finding the pew he was sitting in to be intact. Nevertheless, he and Melissa worried that there might have been hidden damage. Both quickly left the chapel. Back outside the chapel, Melissa and Billy re-grouped with the others, and they headed to the church’s main building – a sprawling, one-story building with orange roof tiles and a tan stucco exterior. Most of the windows were intact, and the building still seemed reasonably structurally stable, with the roof worn in spots but no visible holes. The explorers, including Megan, walked in through a bashed-out door window. Near the bashed-out window, moss grew on the burgundy carpet. On a marble countertop, there was a stack of church bulletins, although wind had blown a few of them off and scattered them on the carpet. About half of the white ceiling covering was missing, mostly closer to the entrance. An analog clock had stopped at 11:08. The rear wall of the lobby was painted with a cross and “GBI” above it. Two couches and two chairs were arranged, facing each other; the wooden end tables next to them were empty. Billy filmed the room, paying particular attention to the “GBI” painting before the explorers moved on to a supply closet to the left of the lobby. The supply closet, despite being less than a fifth the size of the lobby, proved to be far more interesting. Along the right wall was a stack of Bibles, 27 high and 15 wide. Somehow, they were all still standing perfectly still, despite the mess in the rest of the room; church bulletins, various religious books and games for Sunday school were scattered haphazardly. There were no holes in the ceiling or walls, and no wind in the room, which had a stale, musty odor. “I think they fell.” said Megan. “Well, what kept the Bibles standing?” asked David. “Divine intervention.” said Billy. Looking closer, the explorers could see that a stack of miscellaneous books that had fallen had stopped just an inch from the Bibles. While Billy filmed in the room and paid close attention to the dates on the scattered church bulletins – looking for the oldest he could find – Melissa waxed nostalgic on the games. “I remember the Noah’s Ark Operation game. We played it every so often when the lesson would be about the book of Genesis.” said Melissa. “We played this Trivial Pursuit Bible Edition game in my Sunday school, too.” said Megan. Billy saw a bulletin dated September 18, 1977 and decided to dig for older ones. June 2, 1968, January 4, 1959, July 22, 1956… all had the same general format as the 1987 ones. Then, he found the October 29, 1939 bulletin. “In a city were everything was ‘new’, here’s a rare artifact – a church bulletin from 1939, 48 years before the volcano.” said Billy. The bulletin was hand-written, and just one page. The attendance of 76 had been struck through and corrected to 77. The little errors on the page – no comma between Wednesday and November 1, Margaret spelled “Margeret” – also helped to paint a picture of a fledgling church in a fledgling town in the distant past. The lesson, on Habakkuk 3 – extolling that God always triumphs, even in bad times – wasn’t dressed up, just the scripture and some pastor’s notes. The church had two community lunches that week, as well as a radio broadcast of Sunday’s message the following Monday. While Billy busied himself collecting statistics from old church bulletins, the rest went into the sanctuary, finding it to be in somewhat worse condition – with a couple of small roof leaks. The carpet was forest green, contrasting with the burgundy in the rest of the church. The elevated stage platform at the front of the room was collapsed, the supports having rusted and crashed to the actual floor. The black lacquer Steinway piano had fallen with the stage but stood upright and intact on a flat piece of fallen stage. A Vox organ was not so fortunate; caught between two sections of stage collapsed at different angles, it had fallen on its front and was probably a total loss. Again, there were no pews, just the foldable chairs they’d found in the gym building. “Unusual design choice.” said Megan. “At one time, all the carpet was green. Some time in the late ‘70s they put the red carpet in the rest of the church but kept the carpet in here green.” said Melissa. The explorers spent about ten more minutes in the Sunday school classrooms and nursery at the back of the building before Billy left the closet and caught up with the other explorers. “What’d I miss?” asked Billy. “Not much, since the church was abandoned on a Saturday a lot of the stuff would have been put up, and the Sunday school classrooms don’t look all that different from school classrooms.” said Melissa. The explorers left the building and went to the back of the church campus, finding a sign that said “Mansion”. The mansion itself was nowhere to be found, having been crushed into matchsticks by a landslide that had come from the hill above. “I think this would have happened after one of the later eruptions, because I’ve never heard of any landslides happening during the initial eruption. I always heard they started happening years later.” said Billy. “Some of them happened within a couple days, but you’re right, every successive eruption and seismic event caused them. That’s one of the reasons it was so unsafe to come here until recently. There haven’t been that many landslides, luckily.” said Melissa. “I guess, since we haven’t seen any buildings destroyed by them until now.” said Billy. “There are a few in the northwestern part of town, and maybe a couple more in this part of town, but I’d say maybe 20 or 30 in the whole city.” said Melissa. -

St John's, Lafayette Square, Washington DC by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- St John's Episcopal Church is a Greek Revival Building near the White House. It was built in 1816, and, owing its proximity to the white house, it has been frequented by nearly every president at least once, which has given rise to its common name of the 'Church of the Presidents'. This church is a reasonably faithful rendition of the real life building. I have deliberately not modeled the 1836 Second Empire style parish house (Ashburton House) which is connected to the church via a hyphen. This is to ensure that this church will work equally well in urban, suburban or even rural settings. Apart from the beautiful work by CP, there are relatively few Greek Revival Structures in SC4, so this church made a good candidate. The church sits on a 2x3 lot and is found in the reward menu. Placing this church will provide residential cap relief as well as boosting park, landmark and mayor ratings. It also provides 19 civic jobs. * It is offered as a reward without needing pre-existing conditions. * It is located in the REWARD Menu. * It can be placed more than once in a city. * It DOES NOT over-write the ingame houses of worship (or any re-lotted versions there-of), so can be used in conjunction with the standard Maxis reward. Placing rewards is an essential part of growing a large city and region, given their cap-busting and desirability increasing effects. --------------------------------------- STATS: Lot size : 2x3 Plop Cost: $0 Monthly Cost: $0 Budget Item: Government Buildings Occupant Groups: Reward, Worship, BSC Mattb325, BSC Demand Created: Jobs$: 5, Jobs$$: 10, Jobs$$$: 4.

Lot 4x3 The Temple of Concordia (Italian: Tempio della Concordia) is an ancient Greek temple in the Valle dei Templi (Valley of the Temples) in Agrigento (Greek: Akragas) on the south coast of Sicily, Italy. It is the largest and best-preserved Doric temple in Sicily and one of the best-preserved Greek temples in general, especially of the Doric order. The temple was built c. 440–430 BC. The well-preserved peristasis of six by thirteen columns stands on a crepidoma of four steps (measuring 39.42 m × 16.92 m (129.3 ft × 55.5 ft), and 8.93 m (29.3 ft) high) The cella measures 28.36 m × 9.4 m (93.0 ft × 30.8 ft). The columns are 6 m (20 ft) high and carved with twenty flutes and harmonious entasis (tapering at the tops of the columns and swelling around the middles). It is constructed, like the nearby Temple of Juno, on a solid base designed to overcome the unevenness of the rocky terrain. It has been conventionally named after Concordia, the Roman goddess of harmony, for the Roman-era Latin inscription found nearby, which is unconnected with it. If still in use by the 4th-and 5th century, it would have been closed during the persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire. The temple was converted into a Christian basilica in the 6th century dedicated to the apostles Peter and Paul by San Gregorio delle Rape, bishop of Agrigento and thus survived the destruction of pagan places of worship. The spaces between the columns were filled with walling, altering its Classical Greek form. The division between the cella, the main room where the cult statue would have stood in antiquity, and the opisthodomos, an adjoining room, was destroyed, and the walls of the cella were cut into a series of arches along the nave. The Christian refurbishments were removed during the restoration of 1785.[1] According to another source, the Prince of Torremuzza transferred the altar elsewhere and began restoration of the classic building in 1788. According to authors of a 2007 article, it is "apart from the Parthenon, the best preserved Doric temple in the world." -

5x3 Lot. The St. Mary Basilica is the main church of Randazzo, a village on the slopes of the Etna Volcano. It is in the Gothic-Norman style, built starting from 1214 using the local lava stone. Randazzo (Sicilian: Rannazzu) is a town and comune in the Metropolitan City of Catania, Sicily, southern Italy. It is situated at the northern foot of Mount Etna, c. 70 kilometres (43 mi) northwest of Catania. It is the nearest town to the summit of Etna, and is one of the points from which the ascent may be made. In the 13th century the town had its own army, which fought in favor of the king against the rebels. In 1210 King Frederick II of Hohenstaufen and his young wife Constance of Aragon sheltered at Randazzo to escape the terrible plague which raged in Palermo. Randazzo became one of the most densely populated towns in the island, after Palermo and Messina. The town was also divided into three main districts: the Greeks lived in St. Nicola's quarter, the Latins in St. Mary's and the Lombards in St. Martin's. Randazzo was the scene of important action during the latter phases of Operation Husky, the Allied invasion of Sicily, during World War II. Nazi forces were driven from the island by a combined force of British and American troops, which also contained Canadian troops who were fighting under British command. In the course of their retreat the Nazis attempted to hold the northeastern corner of Sicily in the hopes that they would eventually be able to retake the entire island. The Nazis had to abandon this plan when the British 30th Corps forced their way into Adrano while at the same time the British 13th Corps battled the Nazis in the nearby town of Randazzo. Once Adrano and Randazzo fell to the British, the Nazis decided they had no choice but to retire to Messina and use it to evacuate the rest of their forces from Sicily. -

3x5 Lot. Zafferana Etnea is a village on the Etna volcano, Sicily, close to the city of Catania. It's famous for the beautiful view of the eruptions. In October, the municipality of Zafferana Etnea organizes a unique festival called Ottobrata Zafferanese. It is celebrated every Sunday of October and it is an opportunity not only to taste typical pastries and cakes, but also to discover and buy typical products of the city and period, such as grapes, bottled fruit, mushrooms, honey, liquor, wine and chestnuts. It is also a beautiful display of handcrafted products made by local artisans. During this event, people can also enjoy exhibitions, documentaries about the Etna volcano, shows and dance performances. This event is very important and the citizens of Zafferana Etnea start preparing the areas of this event from half of September. Zafferana, along with Nicolosi, is now regarded as one of the major tourist stopping points for summer and winter expeditions to the summit of Mt. Etna. -

6x3 Lot. Trani Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral dedicated to Saint Nicholas the Pilgrim in Trani, Apulia, south-eastern Italy. Formerly the seat of the archbishop of Trani, it is now that of the archbishop of Trani-Barletta-Bisceglie. Consecrated in 1143, is one of the main examples of Apulian Romanesque architecture. It was built using the local stone of Trani, typical of the region: a calcareous tuff, obtained from the caves of the city, characterised by its colour, an extremely light pink, almost white. The cathedral is distinguished by its showy transept and by its use of the high pointed arch in the passage beneath the bell tower, which is unusual in Romanesque architecture. -

The Greater Refuge Temple is a church located on Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd and W. 124th Street in Harlem, Manhattan, New York. The distinctive facade was added in 1966 and received a facelift in 2015. This model reflects the building as it currently sits after the renovation. This building is available in two versions: a ploppable CS$$ building with 30 jobs, and a reward building that is modded similarly to the vanilla Maxis House of Worship. Note that this building does NOT replace the Maxis House of Worship. Both the ploppable CS$$ and reward versions of the building sit on a 2x2 lot. Both Darknite and Maxisnite versions are provided; only one should be used at a time, and the Darknite version requires this mod by Simfox (or another nighttime darkening mod). Otherwise, this lot requires no dependencies. Click here to learn more about my current projects. Enjoy! -

The Peterskirche (English: St. Peter's Church) is a Baroque Roman Catholic parish church in Vienna, Austria. The construction was begun around 1701 under Gabriele Montani, who was replaced by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt in 1703. The design was inspired by the St. Peter's Basilica of the Vatican in Rome. By 1722, most of the building was finished, and in 1733 the Peterskirche was finally consecrated to the Holy Trinity. The new church was the first domed structure in baroque Vienna. Due to the confinement of available space, it was built in a very compact form, with its oval interior housing an astonishing amount of space and rectangular attachments. The church makes an overwhelming impression on the visitor with its surprisingly rich interior filled with goden stucco. -2x4 Lot -Located under Landmarks Menu -Nightlighted -

For redundancy sake I'm uploading my old lots here at the STEX. If you already have it please do not re-download it. *Warning* I made it before I started batting therefore it requires an enormous amount of dependencies! The dependency list is the original one I made back in 2016 thus the format it is in Schiffenberg Monastery For those historic maps here is something that will blend in nicely. The gate house will connect to the street (Visual connection Only) (I used the SAM PEG dirt road for the example pic included) You will find it in your Landmark menu.
