1950s Moscow 10-storey apartments and offices
This mod proposes a small pack of buildings that allows you to build quality residential districts as one could see in Moscow and other large Soviet cities in the 1950s.
The main/initial building of this pack is inspired from the existing one on Semyonovskaya Embankment, North-east of historical Moscow. It is comprised of a central section with offices/workplaces, and two residential wings. For this reason, this pack is not just residential, but includes 2 options to make use of this part of the building separately. Like in my 1950s Stalinka from some time ago, you can ‘patch’ an extra pedestrian access to the building that gives it a double role. The 2 options are: City Hall, because it felt pretty well suited; and Technical University, to ‘honor’ the building’s historical function which was hosting the All-Union Scientific Research Design Institute.
The three remaining items are simple residential buildings using the same design as the initial one, to give the player some options for their urban layout.
The specs are as follows:
– main/ C-shaped building: 150 adults;
– short L-shaped building: 220 adults;
– long L-shaped building: 325 adults;
– straight/I-shaped building: 185 adults.
All have 91pc living quality, heating enabled (keep the pollution in mind though), and are collisionless.
Building cost is expected to be high, because of the construction quality and because of the mechanical components needed for the elevators and boiler room.
The two workplace options require 75 workers and 25 academics. Instructions for placement and selection are shown in the screenshots. They add an emblem on the building’s top, which doesn’t always display correctly from all angles, if you don’t want it to show at all, you can just place the ‘patch’ a bit further inside the main building.
