Description

IMPORTANT: This EP is installed as a layer - a bit like Mastery Layers - Please read the installation instructions below.

This mod:

  • Adds extra scenery throughout from extensive foliage to clutter to give the route a complete refresh. The aim was to make it look something like the excellent Blackpool route from JT.
  • Swaps the ballast and landscape materials so they're more matte than default to try to reduce the shiny landscape effect when the sun is low. With thanks to RobS for these files.

Note, this mod could prove heavy on the old graphics card, and may exceed DTGs recommended requirements. A 8GB RTX3060ti has run the route with no problems with 30-60fps at 2k, a RTX3090ti and 4080 running at consistant 60fps+ at 4k, and a 4GB GTX1650 at around 30-60 fps at 1080p. Personally I found it smooth, and less demanding than Preston-Blackpool.

I just wish the lighting was better (Time of Day)!

Requirements

Tees Valley Line
Preston / Ormskirk / Blackpool - the mod won't work without it
Peterborough-Doncaster - lineside clutter
West Cornwall - A handful of static wagons. Not essential to own

Installation Instructions

Unzip the TWO pak file into you game's DLC folder, run TSW4, then:

Go to DTG Live tab at top of screen
From there click the Mastery Rewards button
Tick the box labelled "Bescot TVL EP Scenery Layer"
The added scenery will now layer onto your Tees Valley route
There is a reason I've added this as a mastery layer, because it is easier to update/fix this way in the Editor. You can still use the official mastery layer, or any other mods at the same time.
