Greater Leeds Transit - Part 3

This 3rd and final part of Greater Leeds Transit follows one of the highway routes from the Southern agricultural surrounds of the city, North into the outer fringes of the city and into the heart of the city itself. This is only one of a number of routes into/out of the city, if you're interested in getting an idea of the other routes, check Greater Leeds Transit - Part 2 and look at the transit map.

If you like this post, or any others, please rate, comment or click the +1. Thanks again for viewing, the next post is going to be some of my favourite residential areas throughout Greater Leeds.

The Adellais - Leeds Highway was first built before any agriculture developed around it, although it has been upgraded since then. It appears to cut through the surrounding farms.

Because Leeds is surrounded by national parks, rivers and mountains, the suburbs begin quite abruptly and quickly progress into more densely populated areas.

If you continue along the highway, very soon you will be close to the heart of the city. Many commuters leave the highway here to cross over to the CBD on the Leeds Harbour bridge.

The Highway is essential to the entire transport, particularly on the Eastern shore of Leeds Harbour where up to 80,000 people live in highrises.

A number of new densely populated residential and commercial areas have sprung up around the Highway system, this is just one example.

Finally, the highway leads into the CBD, this is probably the most used transport method into the city.

I think it looks nice, too. Wild shorelines are cool.

Also, at first glance I thought that water mod looked like SC2K water! I was like, OH MY GOD! Then I got a closer look and it looks more realistic than that, but just as cool. Keep up the good work!

The trees I use are the CPT douglas firs and I mix them in with other trees like cottonwoods (if you get the maxis tree replacement they also look good with the CPT trees).

What other plugins do you use? What's your advice for someone who wants to get away from the vanilla style?

Get a water texture mod, a tree mod (like above) and a terrain mod, those are relatively easy to get and go a long way to changing the feel of a region. [img]https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/2.gif[/img]
