148th Residential Series Pack

A collection of 7 (1 middle section, +3 variations for each end section) RICO compatible prefabricated buildings based on the Soviet series no. 148, part of the "Tashkent" or "Uzbek" series of soviet prefabricated tenements. This is the normal variation of the 148th Series, without attached loggias. Such series can be seen all over Tashkent in its different forms. There is also a tower variation of the 148th series, which I have already made.
The specific series that I managed to identify the blocks used in this asset is 148-0𝑥𝑥SP.83

Most buildings of this Series include a set of attached loggias on either side (which you can see here[www.google.com], here[www.google.com] and here[yandex.ru]), however I have not included variations with these loggias in the pack as there are a number of problems
1. These loggias are often arranged in unique patterns, making it hard to make a modular version
2. As these loggias cannot be included as part of a building, I must figure out the most efficient set of loggia variations
3. I prefer these loggias to retain their original appearance (and not modified by the owners as they usually are nowadays) which means i must figure out a way to turn the window panels (which you will attach the loggias to) into doors without making it look too flat.

The 148th Series can take on many guises, and can often be confused for other serial houses of the Uzbek SSR, especially due to the modularity of many of the Uzbek prefabricated series, allowing great creative freedom in changing the appearance of the house and even going as far as differing apartment plans within sections which may look the same. However the main reason which The particular variation which I chose for this pack uses granite chippings to give a rough dark orange finish to the outside of the concrete panels. In the front of the building you can also see the familiar "X" shaped lattices guarding the inner loggias, which were used in my tower variation too.

An interesting remark about this series is that they were often built with the entrances facing the "outside" of a microdistrict, especially if they were placed along a main road, which is unusual for most soviet houses which have back entrances. To me this is reminiscent of early Soviet/constructivist era housing which usually had front or front and back entrances.


The attic and balcony panels can be repainted to any color you like using the Repaint 1.7.4 mod, the granite sections cannot be repainted.

Each section is 5x3 lots, with the end sections a bit longer than that (last image of both rows). The end sections have 3 variations, Windowed (bottom row, 1st image), With Balcony (bottom row, 2nd image) and Empty (bottom row, 3rd image) all of which can be seen in real life. In game the Middle section houses 22 people, while the end sections house 18. All sections are Level 4, and cost 25k.

Perfect for microdistrict construction. If you're planning a devastating earthquake for your city, the 148 series can be used to rebuild an seismic-resistant city.

To use this asset in game, please use the Ploppable RICO Revisited mod. Otherwise, the asset will be a unique building with no function.
