SimCity 258: Mayor's House and Mansion

So, there isn't much to say about this one. It doesn't do anything for your city except take up room and it doesn't have any modules, so really it just sits there. It's cosmetic and goes really nicely with some of the high-wealth, low-density buildings, but if you need the room don't think twice about demolishing it.

My Other House is a Mansion

Once you earn a certain level of prestige and renown, your people will bless you with your very own mansion. My advice would be to chop down that hideous house the second your mansion is habitable.

My Architect is an Idiot

So, while I was working on taking the photo of the mansion with all of its accoutrements in place, I had quite a time trying to get all of the modules on the board in the allotted snap points.

The image above is a more elevated view that shows where everything goes. Basically, someone over at Maxis had definite ideas of how the mayor's mansion was going to be laid out and left little room for error. I'm sure there are others, but if you're having trouble making your mansion work, here's one layout that keeps everything compact.

The modules for the mansion -- none of which do anything except look pretty -- are as follows:

  • 1 Guard Post
  • 1 Guest House
  • 1 Balcony
  • 1 Sports Car Garage
  • 1 BBQ Patio
  • 1 Fountain (can only go out front)
  • 1 Flag
  • 1 Extension Wing
  • 1 Party Wing
  • 1 Tennis Court
  • 1 Swimming Pool
  • 1 Frankly Nazi-looking Eagle
  • 1 Limo Garage
  • 1 Greenhouse (all the better to stone you with?)
  • 1 Suicide Tower
  • 1 Helipad (compliments the one at your office)
