"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"!
What do we think?

Some more pics, cheekily added some bus stops (CC) sadly
Finally I think I might be happy with a world
Other than that, it's great! Reminds me of parts of Newcastle and Sunderland.
THE 🐸🐸🐸🐸
Enjoy
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!
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.
Comments and feedback please
The 🐸🐸🐸🐸 isn't chavy enough haha. She needs tracksuit bottoms!
I really like this world. Not sure I'd play it though, since I'd rather escape reality and play something that is far far away from my own life... But this is really cool.
The school doesn't look particularly English though, it's a big fancy school on a council estate? But I know the RH are never what you need them to be when making any worlds.
Look forward to seeing some more of this world ^_^
Great idea.
I agree that your 🐸🐸🐸🐸 isn't very 🐸🐸🐸🐸 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.
Just a few more pictures
These are of the small shopping arcade in the council estate.
Enjoy! Comments and feedback please
Looking from the arcade towards the "posher" housing
The stadium
From the Vicarage, looking towards the scout hut

I think it looks Awesome. Buildings and groups are great. :thumbup:

The tunnel is the fake bridge, cant remember what it came with? :shock:
What do we think? Comments and feedback welcome peeps
I was wondering if anyone had some UK style builds? I'd like the builds to really represent UK buildings- like shops, post offices, police stations etc.
If anyone has some, please link them in your post and I will add them
Thanks
I can play at last TS2 TS3 and TS4 So great that toddlers are here!!!
Thankyou
I will send him a message- see what he's got
Here in the UK our houses have around a meter between them unlike in Sunset Valley which has around a mile! I think you've done an amazing job on this.
