Who said the city theme today is only fire and police sets?
Of course civilian building are not in the "city" theme, but in the "creator" one, but only with minor modifications you can build a whole town only using the lates building: there are shops, building and houses. Recently I bought on discount some of the latest houses: two "beach cabin" sets and a "four seasons" one. In my opinion the "beach cabin" is the best, for a small price you can build a cute house. With small mods, using only the pieces you find in the set you can turn all the buildings in cute houses you can use for your town.
I wanted to show my idea before tearing all them down and re-use the bricks for my personal MOCs
Hope you liked :)
