Post war Italy
Post-war Italian district style
A selection of Residential Low/High post war buildings aiming to recreate modern Italian suburbs. It fits best Italian themed cities but works broadly as a modern Mediterranean district style – could also work well for Spain and Portugal in particular. It should also work for South of France, Croatia, Greece and Turkey as there are also assets from those places.
All credits of course go to the asset creators – this is just a selection
Residential Low:
A selection of detached or communal Mediterranean houses, starting in level 1 and 2 with village cottages, run down farmhouses and rubbish piles progressing from level 3 to nicer houses and more modern villas with swimming pools. Recreates the semi urban/rural architecture of Lombardy/Campania built-up plains, and wealthier coastal settlements from level 4 onwards.
Residential High:
A mostly mid-rise selection of Mediterranean tenements, starting with 1950s council type in level 1 and 2 and evolving to more condominium style from level 3 onwards. Nothing too high. Meant to recreate suburbs of big Italian cities but could also work as a generic modern Mediterranean city centre as buildings end up looking wall to wall. Works very well as a sea front too.
MAPS
As there is no Mediterranean theme in the vanilla game, I’d recommend downloading one from the workshop for best results. There are many valid options, in the pictures I’m using benzoll’s Mediterranean Epsilon theme and associated LUT, and the map recreating Taranto, also by benzoll – very good work and limited additional mods and props required, and no DLC.

The associated props to the buildings of the district style should in theory already give you the right vegetation (olive, cypress, palm and pine trees).
INSTALLATION
To install a style with all its assets:
In the main menu, go from Content Manager -> Styles (on the left) -> Subscribe to All on the style you downloaded.
Then in game, make a district and set the building style to that theme.
There might be issues with the above so I also created a collection with all the assets – just subscribe to all directly in workshop rather than in game (in addition to subscribing to the district theme)

RECOMMENDED MODS
Must have: Building Themes per district by bloodypenguin, boformer and SamsamTS.
Steam Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=466158459&searchtext=building+themes
Some assets for some reason do not spawn and do not get loaded to the style – this will help you troubleshoot that.
FindIt (to customise building layout)
Loading Screen Mod – speed up loading and find missing assets (although no need to subscribe to all)
