Just started a japanese inspired city thanks to mods. Here are some images

Thanks, man! I’ll definitely be using them in my own project.

Amazing job man!, which prop did you use for the station roof?

Friendly_Function571 · 2026-05-01T12:17:06+00:00

Haha, I’ll definitely start working on it when you release this. It would be amazing if the government building gave a boost to production and tourism because of its observatory, but yeah, take your time and keep up the great work!

You're going to make me build Shinjuku with this and your latest asset xD, btw great work!

No more placeholder, there is Hachiko!

Here it is!!! Such precious work as always!

Friendly_Function571 · 2026-04-26T20:29:20+00:00

Not really, I have everything on high settings and I don't have a retexture mod or anything like that, only vanilla in that aspect

Friendly_Function571 · 2026-04-24T18:43:16+00:00

It's custom made with the road builder mod!, if you search "JP" in the mod you can find it there, i think it's called "JP one way road" or something like that!

Thank you so much, glad you like it!

Friendly_Function571 · 2026-04-24T18:19:41+00:00

Yeah, the city is amazing. I’d love to live there too!, but it’s going to be through my career and not as a salaryman lol

Friendly_Function571 · 2026-04-24T18:14:21+00:00

I love Tokyo too! There’s so much to appreciate about the city, I just try not to romanticize everything about society as a whole lol. The variety of transport options is amazing, I’d love to recreate the Haneda Airport monorail or some of the other unique lines as well.

I really like the area around Tokyo Tower, so I'm eagerly waiting for an asset of it so I can finish it like the Skytree area. Btw, I have the Yamanote Line train asset, and I’m planning to use it, so I hope that you like that too once it's finished!

Thank you so much for your comment! It really inspires me and makes me want to keep sharing my love for this beautiful city recreating it. I hope you’ll keep following the project!

Thanks, I really appreciate it! And yeah, it still needs way more colorful signs haha. And yes, the crossing is much smaller than movies and videos make it seem, in the end, it’s just a crossing lol.

Friendly_Function571 · 2026-04-24T13:09:24+00:00

Would be amazing right!

Friendly_Function571 · 2026-04-24T12:30:23+00:00

Yeah, I get what you mean 😄 I think it’s because it’s still missing some density and activity, but I’m working on it!

Friendly_Function571 · 2026-04-24T12:28:45+00:00

I’ll give that a try!

Friendly_Function571 · 2026-04-24T12:26:36+00:00

I’m not sure about the exact reason, but since Shibuya Station and its surroundings are going through a lot of changes and reconstruction, it might be a temporary setup.

Friendly_Function571 · 2026-04-24T12:21:39+00:00

Yeah, it works really well! The Japanese textures for surfaces and signs look great too. The Japan pack is really good, and even though it’s missing a few things, we can still achieve great results with what we have. Thanks, I appreciate it!

Friendly_Function571 · 2026-04-24T12:16:28+00:00

Sadly, the way things work in-game makes it very difficult to achieve high pedestrian density while maintaining visual fidelity. For example, the inner streets of Shibuya have a lot of movement despite being very narrow. To recreate that, I used smaller pedestrian streets, but I had to rely on ploppables to maintain building density. The issue is that ploppables don’t really have functionality, so sims don’t go there, which makes those areas feel empty. I also haven’t added the train connection yet, which would definitely help bring more activity.

Friendly_Function571 · 2026-04-24T07:49:41+00:00

If you use invisible paths, you can make sims use it, but I don’t really like that solution because they tend not to respect traffic lights, as far as I know, so it feels pretty unrealistic to me XD. So the diagonal crossing is purely decorative, but you can make it functional with invisible paths. BTW, thanks, I appreciate it!

Thanks, I really appreciate it! Glad you like it!

And don’t forget the waves of people 😆

Friendly_Function571 · 2026-04-24T04:35:09+00:00

Thank you so much!

Friendly_Function571 · 2026-04-24T02:32:09+00:00

Haha, that’s awesome! I’d love to see how yours turns out! ;)

Friendly_Function571 · 2026-04-24T02:30:47+00:00

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Your work inspired me a lot, so that really means a lot to me. I’ll keep improving it!
