I've never really posted any of my houses here, so I finally decided to.
These are some of my more recent houses, they are supposed to be upper middle class suburban homes from the 1980s.
Some of them are based off of real houses on my street, if anyone wants comparison pictures let me know.
So here they are.
Tan two story home:

Blue basement entry home:

White & blue two story home:

Light beige two story home:

White & green two story home:

Grey basement entry home:

Mauve two story home:

White & mauve two story home:

That is all for now.
Constructive criticism is welcome, but things such as "They look too old, make them more modern" aren't constructive. Someone actually told me that once, so I thought I would mention it here.

damn, they look amazint
coloring on the third house seems a lil weird though, i don't really like the red bricks, i think they would be better if they were be brown
9/10 though, these are really great
also, interior shots won't hurt

Do you mean the 4th house? The 3rd house doesn't have bricks.
Here is the 4th house with brown bricks anyway. I agree, it does look better.

you should use a more pale red color or gray color for the bricks, i think they stand out a bit too much
other then that these are great

I see what you mean, the colour set I use doesn't have a more pale red, otherwise I would have used it originally.
I use Trueno's colour set.

Some of them remind me of houses on my street.
I do live in a middle class suburban home, but the only 80s parts are the extensions to most of the houses. The actual house itself is very old.

*Cough* Brickitect *cough*
I like your houses though, they are different from the typical Colonial and Arizona houses that are always shown around here.

you can always add your own colors, it's a pretty simple RGB format

I've looked around for some tutorials, and I found a colorset editor too. However the link was too old, but I've asked the creator for a newer one.

Also, the houses do have interiors. I will post some sample pictures later.

I've gotten some new colours, and have changed the brick colour to a more faded shade. The main post has been updated with some more updated pictures.

Also, here are some interior pictures of the white & blue house.
The living room with vaulted ceiling:

The foyer and dinning room:

Family room:

Kitchen, with a sunshine ceiling of course:

Eating nook:

Bed set and walk-in-closet in the master suite:

Small sitting area in the master suite:

Whirlpool tub and sink, part of the ensuite:

Shower in the small attached bathroom:

Toilet in the ensuite's bathroom:

Bonus room includes vaulted ceiling:

A bedroom converted into an office, featuring a Commodore Amiga:

Wouldn't be an 80s house without at least one set of vanity lights:

The rear of the house:

Most of the other houses have similar interiors, that was just a taste of them. Mainly the other houses don't have vaulted ceilings, and the foyers generally look like this instead:

The white & blue house had a more unique interior, which is why I chose to show it.
