Houses!

The residential zone/suburbs, as mentioned before is getting revamped. houses are going to be larger and more realistic. So this post is going to show how we are going about building these houses.
(only screenshots this time. it will be very tedious to render every step)

First, the layout plan of the house is built, to give the general shape and size of the house. it also lets you see the rooms and decide what purpose each room serves

 walls are then built up and the position of the windows are decided

just brought the pavement around to create a front yard and added a driveway to the garage.

 second floor is built.

 layout of rooms on the second floor. this house will have 1 master bedroom, 2 guest rooms and a study.

 getting ready for the roof. a ladder to the attic will be put in when furnishing.

roof is completed!

 some minor landscaping and vegetation is added around the house. windows and garage door are filled in.

and theres the final result. most of the houses planned for this district will be built in this style and manner, so expect a full neighborhood in a few weeks time!
