The Cascade, by Mattb325

A set of new three bedroom, two bathroom, single garage homes based entirely on the floor plans of a speculative builder. These homes have a semi-traditional appearance afforded by rubble-work feature walls, decorative dark brick window sills, 6 paned colonial wooden window frames and chimneys and are designed to complement existing suburbs as infill housing for knock-down and rebuild situations. 

The buildings are advertised for complete build on a standard flat, cleared site with concrete slab construction for about $80,000; which makes them an extremely affordable first home. 

For this reason I have made them R$, as I like some variety to remain in the low wealth set and blend in with existing medium wealth neighbourhoods.

All lots are 2x2: use the Ctrl key while zoning to assist in getting these to grow.

 Notes about Nightlighting Effects

In order to see the nightlighting, you must install the EP1-Update 1 for Rush Hour/Sim City 4 Deluxe, and then afterwards, install the SC4-Update for nightlighting (note: you have to be logged in in order to see the download link). If this update isn't installed, you won't see any lighting effects on custom BAT buildings.

Disclaimer

The usage of this download is on your own risk. I try to test my lots extensively, so they should work properly, but errors may still exist. Feel free to modify the lots for yourself and show them in your city journals, but please don't distribute them without asking first.
