Title: Mod set: America City Living
Post by: angainor88 on February 03, 2022, 09:09:28 AM
Hey all, it's been a while since I've made anything, but I've just started working on a new mod set. I wanted to pick a South American country, but library access is still kinda iffy at the moment. So, this one will be a houses and deco only set, inspired by 1800's city houses in the USA. There's a lot less to research when it's my own country lol.

it may take a bit longer than normal, alas, because chronic pain continues to kick my ass, but hopefully not too long.

Anyway, here is the first entry: (http://worldofbanished.com/gallery/8302_03_02_22_9_07_49.png)

A couple of corner houses, one made to look a bit like a stable, the other a flower shop.

👍 The only thing I love more than houses that look like shops is dwellings over production buildings.

Wow it's been a month since I updated... Apologies, chronic pain is kicking my ass.

This is the next house in the set:

Next bit of the set: the Elfreth house! Probably the oldest style house I'm going to make (colonial period)

(http://worldofbanished.com/gallery/8302_17_05_22_6_39_51.png)



2 brick colors and 4 trim colors = 16 different versions

After squashing the latest bugs with the help of @kid1293 and @Tom Sawyer , the next part is complete: the Elfreth Corner House! It has a total of 32 different version (whew), because there's one with each type of brick, color, and direction.

I have also made a beta version available so you don't have to wait as long to play lol, link below:

Moving away from brick and into New Orleans, it's the Ursulines house!

(http://worldofbanished.com/gallery/8302_30_06_22_6_19_48.png)

A shotgun style house that was popular in the southern US in the 1800s, but there are examples from all over the country.

I like all the details, all the shading and AO effects really add a lot to the overall appearance.
Title: Re: Mod set: America City Living
Post by: angainor88 on July 16, 2022, 05:52:45 PM
The next house is done!

This one is a "double shotgun" style of house, similar to the last one. In real life there might be one family living in each half of the house, but only one family is allowed in Banished.

(http://worldofbanished.com/gallery/8302_16_07_22_5_47_46.png)

I am planning on two more houses for my New Orleans style houses, one a corner house, and then I'll upload a new Beta version for people to try out.
Title: Re: Mod set: America City Living
Post by: Abandoned on July 16, 2022, 08:18:07 PM
 :) Very nice.  If you really would want 2 families in one of these houses, perhaps the front left one, you could make it a boarding house for 2 families.  Might be handy to have in the set.

Sorry there's some big delays on this project. First I was moving, now I've caught covid. This is still on my to do list, just dropped a few places (after "stop hurting" and "unbox house" lol).

Best of luck with both of those!

Whew it has been a couple of kinda bad months, but I have finished the next house!

I guess I'm returning to rowhouses for this one, even though I said I was done with them, but New Orleans has some nice ones. I did make an optional 3rd story for them, so you can do a little stacking. I'm not entirely satisfied with how they turned out, just because they look silly if you mix and match the colors. I'm going to do a corner house in this style as well; hopefully the extra story in that one will work better.

Without the third story:

Very nice -  a New Orleans style river boat village sounds very interesting.

Alligators and paddle boats to spice things up

How about split the house vertically on two symmetrical parts. Such two houses that are attached to each other would look like one house.
Title: Re: Mod set: America City Living
Post by: angainor88 on October 18, 2022, 06:04:00 PM
New house, the Dumaine House - it is a corner house with a third floor you can add if you want.

I want to update the beta of this mod, but I'm having trouble uploading it; the file may be too large >.<
What's the limit for file sizes for WoB?
Title: Re: Mod set: America City Living
Post by: kid1293 on October 18, 2022, 11:45:55 PM
I have had trouble around 28-29 MB. Less is okay.
Title: Re: Mod set: America City Living
Post by: angainor88 on October 19, 2022, 05:33:38 AM
Ok, yeah, definitely too large then!

I'll have to upload it somewhere else, then provide the link, probably nexusmods. I'll try to get it done tonight, if I can.
Title: Re: Mod set: America City Living
Post by: angainor88 on October 24, 2022, 06:34:58 PM
Hello all! I have uploaded the latest version to Nexus here: https://www.nexusmods.com/banished/mods/114/?tab=description (https://www.nexusmods.com/banished/mods/114/?tab=description)

This includes the New Orleans inspired houses I just posted. Alas that the files is too big for WoB. If you have any issues or feedback, let me know.

I'm planning to add one more house to this set, then balance the housing costs etc before re-releasing this one.
