SCREENSHOTS
When whole medium-wealth residential districts are growing in your SimCity 4 neighborhood, you know that your education, healthcare and fire safety projects are going well. Of course, the first phase is only low-density, so detached traditional family houses appear: one of the most common of them, is this one, called simply "Bungalow".
I found its unusual roof (gabled and flat combined) charming and wanted to build it for my Sims 3 town, and when doing it, I even googled what a traditional bungalow looked like in American architecture, so I even learned something while creating. I learned for example that bungalows usually, traditionally had a sun room, so I arranged it in this house, too. Also as an "hommage", I tried to furnish it with a touch of 1930-40s style, with some Egyptian decoration.
I was thinking about to place custom content skylights on the roof because the original SC4 building has them, but I don't want to upload lots with CC, so I chose a cheaty way, and replaced them with fake objects. - It's a small 1 bedroom/ 1 bathroom bungalow, but the sun room can be rearranged to be a nursery, a TV room or a second single bedroom. As about the residents, he /she may be an outgoing /party throwing character because there is a bass and a bar inside (for learning mixology skill).
It's playtested and has no CC. EPs needed: World Adventure, Late Night, Ambitions, Generations, Seasons, Showtime, University, Island Paradise.
Lot Size: 20x30
Lot Price (furnished): 65,580
Lot Price (unfurnished): 30,153
Additional Credits:
