"The Estate"The Story:The South Coast "Estate" originally was built to house the growing population along the English coastline, some hills were dug out and a small but functional city was built, along with their own private purpose built coast line. At the time no expense was spared...until 1985 when most of the historical elements were demolished and huge housing estates replaced them to house yet more growing families.Today we see a varied and multicultural city, the city has tried to keep some historical features but with the growing "bigger" cities around them its hard.....or is it?The hot summer of 1985 brought many tourists, but since then the city has been left to decay, crime is high and wages are low....how can any sim survive?A few "older" residents are left behind, facing thug gangs, nightly crime spree's and immorality. The coast still brings tourists for a very cheap holiday, but how long will this last?Welcome to the "Estate"!http://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000//shard000/700/867/014/00/screenshot_original.jpghttp://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000//shard000/699/867/014/00/screenshot_original.jpghttp://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000//shard000/698/867/014/00/screenshot_original.jpghttp://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000//shard000/697/867/014/00/screenshot_original.jpghttp://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000//shard000/695/867/014/00/screenshot_original.jpghttp://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000//shard000/694/867/014/00/screenshot_original.jpghttp://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000//shard000/692/867/014/00/screenshot_original.jpgWhat do we think?

I definitely like this one more than South Port, it feels smaller and in a good way. :) I love the view from the sea.

I really love it. :D I think it captures that British/English feel perfectly and I'd love to see more. Perhaps you could add a few fake bus stops just to make things extra-authentic.

Thanks Alex.

Great job!

It looks like a council estate to me, I hope that's the sort of thing you were intending? Especially the flats. It definitely looks British to me, I can recognise it as such. Perhaps not the most idealised version of the UK, but a true representation of a certain style none-the-less.

I think you've done a good job.

I think it's great! Has a real 80's estate feel to it. I think you definitely need a fish and chip shop there outside a chavvy night club :wink:

Great idea. :D

I agree that your chav isn't very chavvy but I love the colour of your flats and houses, they blend in really well with the trees and terrain paint you've used. The recycle bins are an inspired idea too, they definitely help things to feel English.

Thanks everyone for the fab comments- it really spurs me on ;)

Just a few more pictures :)

These are of the small shopping arcade in the council estate.
