Description:

A level 3 low density residence in the Dutch Colonial Revival, which was a popular subset of Colonial Revival architecture in the first half of the 20th century until the late 1930s, when it seems to be displaced in plan catalogs by Cape Cod houses. This home in particular, however, slightly defies that trend, as it is inspired from a 1945 Better Homes and Gardens plan book. Instead of keeping that plan’s attached garage, I opted to instead follow 1920s trends and add a sunroom with a sleeping porch. Since I started out with the stone version, having being inspired by the many stone houses I’ve seen while visiting family in Pennsylvania Dutch country, I’ve named this after the Delaware River Valley. Incidentally, there’s also a state named Delaware!

Borrowing a trick from SimCity 4 BATers, I have rotated the house by 15 degrees in order to add visual interest.

This contains two assets, the aforementioned version of stone, stucco, and shakes, which does not have color variations, and another version that is purely clapboard, which does have color variations. It’s mainly white, though.

As with my other two house assets, this has 2048×1024 textures, a custom LOD, and uses a submesh for the terrain-conforming fence.

I highly recommend subscribing to all the dependencies!

As usual, please do inform me of any errors that may be related to this asset.

Also, in the spirit of modding, anyone is free to re-lot or retexture this asset without permission. All I really ask is that a link is provided back to the original here, and that any repurposing isn’t used for the expression of hateful ideologies.
