it's more like a work-around than an actual feature of the game, thanks to the ability of making buildings collisionless. It's a bit tricky in practice though, but you can see the instructions in the description and pics.

Oh I had no idea we could attach buildings.

Hmmm, there shouldn't be any dependency issue, as there is none. Are you sure you're selecting the residential building? Because it's the only actual residential building in the pack, the others (shops, services, etc) are indeed meant to be "attached" on the main building, and so they have no walls or other structure themselves, only the shop signs and posters meant to appear as part of the initial building when placed carefully.

When I try to place the building, it's invisible. Did I forget to subscribe to a dependency?

Hmmm, this came out much before the secret police update, so I wouldn't have imagined it back then. But I guess now that you suggested it, it's not a bad idea.
I might look into it sometime in the future, as rn I'm another thing, that might be time-sensitive.

Very cool mod, adds so much character to my cities! One suggestion would be what if there was a variant to the post office that instead acted like a secret police for that building only? (Implication being the post office is a front for the secret police reading everyone's mail in the building). Could be useful to house high educated folks here slated as teachers and bureaucrats and keep that extra eye on them! Just an idea, either way love the work!

спасибо, я исследовал некоторые из этих районов. Там сталинки обычно супер монументальные, я имею в виду несколько, над которыми, возможно, я смогу поработать, но это займет у меня огромное количество времени, и это еще не запланировано.
Но посмотрим, если город Москва или кто-то там у власти захочет платить мне за это зарплату, я мог бы сосредоточиться на этом полный рабочий день :P

@Comrade Joe

Москва. район Хамовники, Гагаринский, Вернадский, Академический, МГУ там)

@baltika2004 в Москве или в Ленинграде?

Сделай дома на Ленинском проспекте и улице Вавилова. Там очень красивые сталинки

Well, I'd like to, but I ran out of room in my UV map. I have barely managed to use the remaining space to prepare a post office (which will function as a town office I guess). Should be up soon.

Indeed, without knowing the details of GOST rules of the time, I've seen than there has never been a school put in such a building, as there is no room for it to have its own schoolyard and so on. A daycare place does make more sense.

I don't know much about how signboards at higher level or the roof were at that time either, so I didn't think about that until now. If you have any usable photo material (or know how to find it online, being Russian and knowing the language, etc), if you want, you can send it to me on discord and maybe I can make some more shops on a new texture file.

I do have plans to make shops using this "technique" for future buildings as well, more of the late soviet style.

You can also add Клуб (like cinema), kindergarten (my kindergarten was exactly in such building), and some more types of groceries and small shops. Schools really never located in such buildings (it was prohibited according to ГОСТ)

Awesome! Please add more store combinations! These are the best! If it is possible, please add some more types of signboards with different heights

oh, sadly I basically ran out of space in the UV map...
Maybe I can see if I can fit one more, however it would not be a school, I've never seen a school directly on the front of a main avenue in Soviet cities that had such architecture, they were usually in the parks in the middle of the micro-districts.

Looking forward to more shops. I can see a small school, kindergarten, etc that will fit well into the slots.

Thanks comrade with the unknown Norse letters in your name :P

I'm very slow at this work, but indeed, I'm pretty much into the idea of providing some pre-60s architecture for the game :)

Great job
Sad there are so many boring block houses and so few Soviet Art Deco buildings on the mod list.
I'm glad you are fixing the situation.

yeaaay ! Now it makes it all worth it!
Seriously tho, I appreciate it ^_^ it feels like "being published" :P

too bad I didn't yet update it with some shops, I think you'd find that equally interesting, although it remains to be seen if it's going to work out as I envision it.

Here we go!

Great work!!

Mod Monday that includes your mod. :)
