Modern Dormitory Buildings

Description
A set of nine ploppable, modular buildings. They're based on dormitory buildings constructed in the 60s/70s for a (now-decommissioned) military installation.

They are very plain in appearance and this makes them suitable for many other uses: universities, research institutes, local government offices, TV stations, community hospitals, correctional facilities, etc.

They have been organized into three different 'blocks' by type: A block (wide buildings), B block (slightly less wide) and C block (bridge/breezeway).



-----------------------------------------

All are freely placeable without a road connection. This gives more flexibility for working with terrain or making sunken structures.

In keeping with their generic nature, they don't actually serve any purpose in game and are decorative only. If you want them to function as a residential building, office, etc, then you can make your own definitions for Ploppable RICO mod or modify them with the asset editor.

The lots (4x2 and 3x2) are empty and only a few props are used for lights and roof details.
If you want to build something like in the screenshots then you need to move the buildings into place and add props and surface details. Mods like like Find It!/Move It! are essential.

-----------------------------------------


(output from Mesh Info mod)

Every model shares the same set of 1024x1024 textures. LODs have unique 128x128 maps.

I highly recommend using Loading Screen Mod which should load the shared textures only once. This reduces the memory used by these assets to somewhere around 4mb intstead of 22mb!

I updated these to change the building AI type. Now the info panel opens when you select the buildings, so you can change their color with Painter mod: https://i.imgur.com/Cgvm8Pr.png

I tested this and didn't have any problems (all I had to do was re-plop the buildings) but if you run into problems please leave a comment!

Just what I'm looking for, I didn't buy this game to make a beautiful thriving city, I bought it to see how communist I could make a city before going in debt, and the buildings will fit it perfectly!

Just so you know, this architectural style is called Brutalism. It came about as economically-depressed Europeans (especially French) sought to reduce construction costs after World War 2. Russia and the US picked it up very quickly. I personally find it very ugly and therefore highly appealing for certain types of buildings!

Thank you for letting us know.

It depends on whether I get the DLC upon release, I usually wait a little while, or until a sale.
If someone else wanted to port them to functional versions for the DLC or otherwise I would be absolutely okay with it though.

Nice work. Are you planning to publish them as functional dorms with campus DLC?
