1950s Stalinka
This mod proposes a 1950s Stalinka, like can be found along major avenues of Moscow or Leningrad. This one in particular is modeled on the building of Moskovsky Prospekt, 189, Leningrad.
The main buildling is residential, somewhat high end, and hence can host 200 adults at 93pc quality (I thought no more as it’s still from an older time, compared to late soviet architecture). Its higher cost is simulated by the inclusion of mechanical components (which we can pretend are needed for the elevators).
In the coming days I will add shop ‘add-ons’ to this mod, so that you can make use of the modeled shops in the ground floor. The items themselves will simply consist of a shop sign, a pedestrian access for the customers, and the unavoidable road access for goods deliveries (which will probably be located either on the sides or on the back of the building).

======
— First shop added. It’s a grocery shop for the central section of the building. See photos for placement and selection.
To be built it require a small amount of steel, boards, and mech. comps (shelves, fridges, etc), and unfortunately a small amount of concrete and gravel, as otherwise the game doesn’t allow it to be built.
As we all know the game doesn’t allow delivery of goods to shops without a road connection, so this shop has its road connection in the back side (where the ‘delivery’ sign of the shop is). The same sign is also the only place where you can select the shop by hovering your cursor over it (the shop’s signs in the front are not protruding enough for selection, so I had to make something up).
— Added a bookstore that serves as cultural attraction. For placement use again the poster as reference. Also, hover the mouse in front of it when you need to select it. It can be placed on other side shop entrance of the building.

======
— Added a ‘pharmacy’ (works like a small clinic without ambulances). Same instructions of selection and placement as before.
6-5-21
======
— Added a pub. It’s placable on the right shop entrance when you face the building, so that its delivery access can be on the side of it.
7-5-21
======
— Added a shoe (clothes) store. Placement must be done according to same instructions as the pub but on the other side of the building. The store is set to sell clothes *only*, thanks to a scripting trick, let me know if you notice something funky.
This should be the last addition for this mod.
Ok, after the popular success I added one last item, a post office (as a city hall).
Many thanks to Comrade Dimndroll for providing many of the materials used for the shops 🙂
