    it might be an idea to mention construction sizes of mods,
    this because there are still a lot of difference in buildings which are not really supposed to be.
    For example, the door that I make with frame and window above the door are around 2.40 / 2.50 meters,
    and the height of the floors, there are approximately between 3.00 / meter 3:50,
    depth of the building is between 9.00 / 10.00 meters of a terraced house,
    depth of a building of a tenement/mansion of a townhouse is approximately between 10.00 / 16.00 meters , it depends on how old the building is.
    To prevent various sizes buildings so that modders can take this into account and you can continue to build beautiful cities in the game.

    But again its just an idea

    Yes, I understand your idea. It seems that some buildings are too high. In Germany there are only a few buildings, which stories are much higher than the remaining.

    But there are also other things, that are not in the right scale. The streets are to large, that means, that there would would be room for 4 cars, instead for 2 cars.

    Good idea. A rule of thumb for construction sizes. My mods have these sizes: Floors are also between 3 and 3,5 meters, my doors always count 2,75 meters and my standard-sized windows 1,75 (but they vary greatly). In depth I think it depends on what kind of building you mod.

    Personally, I find that the game of buildings oversizing.

    All my mods are done in real scale.

    Your buildings have the same proportions as my "Package village of Florence    ".

    I think you did a great job with your buildings, they have the right scale.
    Do not change anything,
    This will bring even more realism to the game.


    Look at the picture,

    @ MrX2 thank you its not much bigger then my buildings, buildings here in holland are between 3 a 3.50 m


    here are a few pics, I dont think there a much difference between the buildings?? you wil see the old buildings like the paris pack and tjech buildings and russisch buildings are a little big bigger, but in my opinion this is normal becose the old buildings where higher than the buildings from now??? feedback please

    Keep them as they are. Didn't @Monty 's Human Citizens Mod change also the size of the people? Hence your houses' height would fit them better?

    I actually use the "door frame" as reference too. A regular door would be around 2.3-2.5 mts high (the actual door panel, not including the transom). Make sure it's 2.3-2.5 is not the total height of the door+transom but just the panel. I think the game models were scaled up or down to make them fit the standard bases without altering proportions.


    Buildings from Paris pack are noticeably upscaled. The ones in the German pack have more realistic measurements. And as he said, Drazic's have realistic measurements too.
