Hey this is great! Looks a lot like NOLA! I'm still trudging through my world. Slowly but surely. If you would be interested in sharing some of your lots, I would love to use them in my world. It would save me some design time!

Sure, I will share all the lots I make, but i am very slow too!! I've never been in NOLA but I walk the streets with google maps and try to reproduce the houses the best i can, cause I am new in the building area.

Hey guys, I'm going to share my St. Louis Cathedral Lot with you. I'd really love some feedback if anyone is interested in using it. The lot size is 64x52 and it is a Hangout Lot Type. I am still working on it a bit, but the Cathedral itself is finished inside and out, I could share Jackson Square as well if anyone would like that. Jackson Square is a 64x64 lot and it's a big park lot. I have been using google earth to basically map out that area of downtown New Orleans, so these lots are as accurate as I am capable of doing. Anyway...let me know what you think!! This has been a several year long process so be gentle!

The 2 homes on the right are very bright, almost eye-soring (Could be me 'T was me). I'd tone it down like the rest of the colours. Those red stairs and shutters too.

If you remember me, I'm awesome!

Yes you are. right, I am actually changing the colors every day. I've never been in NOLA so I just have seen pics where houses are very bright, but I take trips on Google maps and houses are less bright. This is what I changed, but it's not the final version

I haven't been in NOLA either, or the USA at all, but from the pictures I've seen the homes indeed are bright, but more pastel toned

I lived there for a while. The colors vary quite a lot, I have indeed seen a neon green house, but that's definitely not normal there. So in the Garden District, you have the big huge mansions that are a variety of colors, but they are more pastel. like maybe majority white house with powder blue accents. certain areas are actually required by law to only use certain colors such as the garden district. now in more busy areas with businesses like magazine street, row houses are there and the colors are more bright or they just use more color combinations rather than like white with accents. here are some garden district homes compared to row houses.

Yes that are the pics I found. I intend to do all types of NOLA styles, let's see how they turn and you can use them.

Guys, I am almost done with all my lots. I'm tweaking a few things, but hopefully I'll actually finish this soon! I can see the end!

Also it's almost a month left since the last post I just have to say that it looks awesome. I wasn't in New Orleans or the USA yet, but I just love how it looks like.
