INTRODUCTION

Differently than Europe, Latin America didn’t face a conjuctural housing crisis after World War 2. The issue with homeleness in the region was very much historical and structural and for long tolerated by governments in the region. It was the Cold War getting hotter that got the public pressure on the issue high – right-wing governments adopted public housing to dissuade the working class from joining socialist parties, while leftist governments had to keep up with the ambitious housing goals that they have set up during their rise to power.

Most countries in the region lacked the resources for major residential complexes so, in many cases, those 2-3 stories tenement buildings were favoured – cheap and easy to build.

This pack, therefore, is your typical suburban latin-american prefab tenement building that began gaining popularity in government housing projects in the late 50’s and 60’s onwards. Those buildings sprawled in the region and are still very much present in the working-class neighborhoods. The architectural style is modern. The flats are pretty small, from 36 to 44 square meters, with little privacy… but they’re solid enough and are certainly better than not having adequate housing for the people.

GAMEPLAY

This set is comprised of 4 small tenement buildings ranging from 12 to 56 workers and 70-76% housing quality.

Each building has 9 skins, including the base one – remember to download the skins mods!

I hope you all enjoy!
