I think the Moles were strategic when they planned the interiors of the modern homes. I think it's intentional that they used the same textures etc across all their themes. Likewise, I don't think they make them inferior. I believe we all had this vision of what we wanted in a modern theme, and they delivered something modern, but it was not the type of modern (these are container homes and look like container homes) that we had in mind. Instead of looking at them for what they are (rectangular container homes), some are upset about what they are not (stick build contemporary homes).

But... they aren't container homes? At least not like Google images shows it.They are just box shaped homes made out of concret with narrow, floor length windows. Container homes (like in those google search images) would have been really cool. Those are all very airy designs with differently stacked box elements, still carrying some elements of their former shell, and wide, big windows and doors leading to the outside. With outside stairs, roof top gardens and terraces/patios.

Edit: Here are some randomly picked examples from the MP of how such homes could look like in SL.

I referred to them as container homes because that is what Patch Linden calls them in this video interview. They do look like container homes to me. I do concede that the concrete and brick facade throws off that concept but not all of the demo homes are concrete on the outside. Some have the vertical siding of a container home and so it's my thought that maybe that will be an option in the control panel.
