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.

can always reduce some setting on this route with godmode :)
Epic work!
your vegetation and grass mod still needed for this route?
awesome work btw
No it's not required now
good to know
i also have Bescot-TSW3-TVL-Bloomreduction.pak
I don't think that has any impact at all with TSW4 tbh.
Thanks its given new life for an old route .
yeah probably but i added those because it had an tsw 4 compat at the filenames
removed them and will see if they look ok now
with jetwash godmode.sav :)

yup all working great performance is fine here too on my ASUS ROG-STRIX-RTX3080-O10G-WHITE 10GB
not that much lower fps
and yes i did activate it in the mastery :)
very very good job!
Am I correct in removing these?
you can remove TVL one. Actually doesn't matter whether it's installed or not as it only affects the original route.
: Corrected Spelling :
Okay, thank you very much for getting back to me, and for for the great mods.
Good job !
perfect thx a lot :)
wow, absolutely amazing! how long did this take you? It seems to me that there is a huge amount of content added. It makes the route really satisfying to play. The industrial content was always great but the general scenary poor. Your mod has resolved that problem. DTG need to upgrade this to tod 4! Thanks very much and , if you get bored, can yuo do the same with trans pennine? lol
Thanks for the feedback, glad you like it. Many many hours. I started before the editor would cook, so it was only after Muff added that feature to the editor I was able to finish this and get it in game.
Thanks very much.
I am testing now in TSW5 and have had two crashes so far, I am leaning towards that it is not Mod related, seeing as the first report of Tess valley Line crashing when attempting to open the 2D map #9. https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/tees-valley-line-6e13.86657 on PS5, seeing consol players can use mods. But I just want to make sure and see what happens even if I have to remove every mod ¯(°_o)/¯
I just removed every mod and the Game still crashes with Tess Valley Line When Attempting to open the 2D Map with #9 See the Link Above with more info.
There seems to be a glitch with this. The River Tees is an empty ditch, the water is missing! Anyone else had this issue?
Same with lineside clutter from PBO. TSW5 addon-manager is preventing assets from some other DLCs from loading. TSW4 was ok. I'll swap the water at some point.
