H5 1x1 Streetside Bliss D

Description
Level 5 1x1 Residential.

The tallest of my 1x1 filler set "Streetside Bliss". The taller level 5 version. I could not aesthetically justify making it any taller than this, sorry if I've disappointed anyone!


I don't really like the way tall 1x1 buildings, and 1x1 buildings in general, look in the game. Some of the default ones and custom ones look like they are part of a larger structure, but most are low density. So I made these. Hope they're ok. If the taller ones are still too extreme, I found that just the two or three shorter ones look quite alright without the taller one.

On a level surface they visually connect seamlessly with eachother to give the impression of a bigger structure. This works well in a row, but does not look too bad if bunched up in blocks of 2x2 or 3x3 with the center empty. Requires some finicking to pull off though. If you really want these to grow together I do recommend using the building theme mod.

All have 1024x1024 diffuse, illumination, normal, color and specular maps.
This one has a 128x128 LOD texture.

331 tris, LOD: 141 tris

The scale of city skylines also is pretty bad. when I first saw the 4 by 4 grid limit, I was like wtf, there should of been six minimum. Favorited.

Haha, yes, there are some ridiculous examples of real life pencil towers! :KOh: I just have trouble with the scale in Cities Skylines. 1 square in CSL is literally 1/4 of a square in SC4. Which means that the biggest growables in CSL are equivalent to only 2x2 squares in SC4, while SC4 goes up to 6x6 growables (maybe bigger, not sure). I suppose that is the reason that so many custom skyscrapers in CSL are ploppables... This building here is about the width of my living room (8m), but 20 storeys tall. Frankly I find the thought of it horrendous :steamfacepalm:. I'm not saying I wont make these anymore, heck, I'll probably make a 100 storey pencil at some point... I just do not have the accompanying content yet to justify it in my opinion. :steamsad:
