SoCty: Mountain Towns

 

USN Banner

 

Good Evening Everyone and welcome to the latest entry for Southern Cities!!!

It has been over a year since I posted, life and work have been incredibly busy. And I've been working on my cities a lot over that time. This entry will be brief and showcase some of the small, mountain towns around my rendition of Cumberland, Maryland (using drunkapple's map of Cumberland MD). These towns are located north and west of the city and Sims can make it to downtown Cumberland within 30-40 minutes, depending on driving conditions as these towns are well away from the interstate. I apologize in advance for the grid, forgot about that...

Here is the largest town of this entry, with a population of 3-5,000 people and replete with independent shops, coffee shops, some offices, and nestled in a narrow valley, surrounded by mountains and farms:

Here is a somewhat smaller town, complete with a boutique hotel and a Starbucks:

And a tiny, mountain-top hamlet, much further out from Cumberland than the previous two towns, with a population hovering around 500 (still need to fill in the rest of the forest and smooth out the highway):

Hope you enjoyed this brief tour, stay tuned for additional entries here and Powhatan Island.

Replies from last entry:

@Schulmanator: Thanks man! Yea, I-85 is terrible, always dread driving that into Greenville, maybe it'll get fixed up soon.

@michae95l: Thank you!

@Mymyjp: Thank you! Those are part of the SNM set and are military housing.

Nice little towns you've made there. On another note, I hate to sound like a broken record but since we're playing the game...  I'd suggest you get a terrain mod. It would go a long way in making your mountain towns look more natural. Seems like some of the newer and more popular mods are no longer available on the LEX but here's a few that still are;
