Midcentury Middle Class Home Set
Welp, it took about three years to finally finish this set. But! At long-last, you can now have a set of nine gorgeous mid-century starter homes for your very own city!
I did release one of these fellows years ago. Unfortunately the only way I can get into asset editor is with the –noWorkshop command, so I could not match the decor of the initial "Leland." So, this set includes the original model with a basic pavement driveway to match the others.
Goes well with some of Khrysler’s homes (like The Raymond, The Akin, or The Milton) or this collection of 1950s/1960s Americana assets assembled by m4gic.
Description
These are small tract ranch houses that fit well into any (especially north American) environment. They popped up in droves in the postwar period to house burgeoning families of returning soldiers/homefronters. Proliferated about the time that Elvis released this banger (same vibe too, if houses could make songs!).
While they are based on houses found on the South Side of Milwaukee[www.google.com], they really do belong anywhere. I frequently passed by them in Denver, Atlanta, and Fresno. If you saw the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie, the MC lived in one of these. The movie was set in Minnesota (I think?), but filmed in Louisiana. And of course, there exist many such examples on Long Island near Levittown.
No wonder they’re called "cookie-cutter" houses. Appropriate for Christmastime. Gave them generic Twentieth Century white guy names.
Recommended Assets
None. Only vanilla with this set, for reasons elucidated in paragraph one. Full permission is granted to anyone whom has the desire to decorate and republish these as they see fit. I’d like credit for the base assets if possible.
Specs
Note: these are pretty light assets. They all share the same textures (use Loading Screen Mod to reduce filesize), and the LODs are simple boxes. And, they look great up close! Optimized for any system, truly 🙂
