"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. Do you think im on to something with this one?Some more pics, cheekily added some bus stops (CC) sadlyhttp://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000//shard000/205/872/014/00/screenshot_original.jpghttp://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000//shard000/202/872/014/00/screenshot_original.jpghttp://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000//shard000/199/872/014/00/screenshot_original.jpghttp://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000//shard000/196/872/014/00/screenshot_original.jpghttp://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000//shard000/193/872/014/00/screenshot_original.jpgFinally I think I might be happy with a world :)

I am not from Great Britain, but I love the builds so far. What is the terrain going to be like? Will you use Distant Terrain?p.s. love the dumpster dive!

The estate is perfect. :) I love the colours and just the way it looks so British. The train tunnels are a clever idea too, what did you use for them?

The tunnel is the fake bridge, cant remember what it came with? :shock:

This looks amazing. I love the flats and the pebble-dash effect on the houses. I am amazed at how quickly you work, terrific job

Wonderful work, Fembod! I have never been to any part of Europe *cry* but this looks like what I see when I travel all over the UK via Google satellite. So, in a certain kind of way I have been there and this looks brilliantly similar. Love the housing developments and everything. Wonderful work!
