No dependencies A follow-up from my Postwar Garden Apartments, these are FA2 oriented versions representing the many garden apartment complexes in the suburban northeast, and across the country. They use a custom base model which is similar, but different to the Maxis barracks prop included in the other set. 8 simple landmark lots included, nothing fancy. Left and right rotations. The name is "FA2 Oakdene Gardens" in bldgplop, this is an old file, I hope you like it anyway Use these below to create big complexes, but you don't need them as a dependency.- 1 Review

American Postwar Garden Apartments My take on an American classic - garden apartment courts, from the postwar era! No dependencies - 24 growable lots included! Wow! Postwar garden apartments were built across the United States after World War II to house growing suburban populations. Usually consisting of two- or three-story brick buildings surrounded by lawns and parking lots, they offered an affordable alternative to both city apartments and single-family homes. Early residents were often veterans, young families, teachers, clerks, and skilled workers seeking modern housing near major cities. From the 1970s onward, these communities became home to a broader mix of residents, including immigrant families, retirees, students, and working-class households. Commonly located in inner-ring suburbs near highways and shopping centers, they developed a reputation for stability and affordability. Many residents stayed for years, creating quiet neighborhoods with a strong sense of familiarity. Today, garden apartments remain a major source of suburban housing, especially in places like New Jersey. Residents typically include young workers, families, and seniors, attracted by lower costs and convenient locations. The atmosphere is usually modest and relaxed, with mature trees, shared green spaces, and a pace that feels less hectic than the city but more connected than detached suburbs. These are all based on real layouts and the types of courtyard apartments I've grown up around my entire life. Various densities and configurations are included, all with parking. I have represented them as growable CS$ lots - to provide much-needed jobs to residential areas, and so that large and irregular commercial tracts can develop. The buildings use the vanilla Maxis army base barracks prop. The lots are named for the towns and roads that host their real-life counterparts: Aberdeen Gardens - 4x5 Allwood Gardens - 6x4 Arlington Apartments - 4x4 Essex Apartments - 3x4 Hasbrouck Court - 3x3 Hiawatha Apartments - 5x10 Interborough Apartments - 5x10 Lemoine Manor 3x4 Linwood Gardens 3x4 Lodi Arms 3x3 Long Branch Gardens 6x12 Metuchen Gardens 4x4 Milford Gardens 10x6 Moonachie Arms 5x3 New Square 5x4 Plainfield Apartments 3x4 Riverview Gardens 6x6 Rutherford Court 3x6 Tenafly Gardens 4x7 Terhune Gardens 7x4 Washington Gardens 4x8 Whippany Gardens 7x7 Woodbridge Gardens 3x5 They all grow low density CS$, to provide jobs and visual continuity to residential areas, while stepping density in a realistic way. 1 dependency required - bldgprop01 available on sc4evermore These are great for creating large contiguous apartment complexes, and densifying existing blocks as well.

Hello everyone, I've been thinking for a while now about creating a thread where I could present ideas, projects, etc. Well, here it is. Any suggestions, comments, questions, criticism, etc. from you are welcome. Let's begin. I am currently working on a farm pack. I will present its progress when there is something to show. Today, I would like to present a project to you, if you think it is worth pursuing, for fillers for the SAM3 and SAM 4 curves. Here is a sketch. (Unfortunately, Timed Prop only allows me two seasons.)

This is another lazy, but effective, overhanging relot of Maxis' R$ high-rise, Project Feelgood. Here it is, standing alone for your planning convenience! This version can overhang diagonals, roads, pedmalls, and anything else you throw at it. This makes it easier to create the kinds of complexes these buildings are in, in real life. Find your inner-Corbusier --- and radiate your city! With no need for roads, create a vibrant urban landscape, like Stuyvesant Town or Parkchester. The design is up to you. Project Feelgood is visually similar to the real-life NYCHA Monroe Houses in the Bronx. I'm not sure if that's the complex that inspired Maxis' rendition, but it is a dead ringer for the houses. It definitely evokes the style of large-scale public housing developments in the US of the post-war era. This is an eyecandy landmark with neutered stats to minimize effects on budget and resources. Only dependency is bldgs as props for the Maxis building. -
So I decided create this thread for showing my actual works. I expect some constructive criticism, tricks, tips, help and of course your opinions on my BATs. Anything what can help me to improve my BATs. I actually working on few projects. Most of my works are from 3th world countries, old historic buildings or slums, shanty towns etc., maybe i will rework my old low quality BATs but now I am focusing on my Brazil style buildings, so hope you will like them
