(Click banner for more pictures!)

Welcome to Simkyoto, Japan. This neighborhood was inspired greatly by Old Town Kyoto, Japan. If you haven't seen pictures, it's a fascinating little town, it's architecture is old world, but the town is bussling with the modern times. It took me almost a year and a half to create this world... it isn't perfect, but I'm incredibly proud to have completed a long-time project that is near and dear to my heart. I hope you enoy this very traditional neighborhood! Thank you very much for the support through out the process. :]

You can download HERE. (I know, it says Somkyoto... just ignore that. :roll: )

Enjoy!

    Thank you so much guys :] And here's a little more of what I've done so far with the world...

    I built three 10x10's ones a starter, one's built for 2 roomies and the other for 3 sims. Two of them do not come with showers! So they'll have to visit the community bath house to get clean!

    I finished the 'school' shell that has buried RH's, the bookstore and school.

    And I've built a community bath house, but the lot is labeled pool.

    Really pleased with how things are turning out. Some houses will have regular beds, while others have a rug and sleeping bag to simulate traditional floor sleeping. :]

    That's it for now, I'm looking forward to building more over the weekend!

    *wave* Thank you very much! I've got some testing pictures I've taken that I hope you'll like. Still in the process of buildings. :] And I'm still not to sure about the time It'll be released, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that this project will come through with ease~

    Thank you so much amnivos :)
    Really happy to be working again!

    Should have a small update for you later tonight. I'm trying to get inspired for my buildings, and it gets difficult trying to come up with new original designs. Oh well! I have google for inspiration.

    Hope you're all doing well :)

    Ah *wave* Thank you so much everyone for stopping in and taking a peak :] Along with the lovely compliments! I've been pretty busy, trying to find a new place to work so my time has been slim, but I've built two new lots!

    First is a 3 bedroom (includes nursery, empty room for a sim, and a master bedroom) and 1 bathroom with tub, and an outdoor shower and spa. Priced around 80k.

    And a garden (small park) complete with spawners from base game, university, banana tree and pumpkin plant. Also has massage tables and a fire pit! Really serene and has a great veiw of the Dragon Falls.

    Thank you so much! :]

    Just another quick update, two more residentials, this one is an older tiled-roof home on stiled foundation. No interior yet, but will probably have a rustic feel to it.

    Screenshot-97_zps243bd632.jpg

    And this is a 4 bed apartment. Lofts upstairs, includes two bathrooms, kitchen, dining, and entertainment/living areas and a pool! Is pet friendly!

    Just chugging along~ I recently included the Business as Usual Bistro but updated the landscaping for it. Hopefully I'll grab some more pics later, especially of the landscape during the winter :]

    Cheers all! Happy Valentines Day!

    Finally a place I can use all my oriental sets - especially the hairs without my sims looking out of place.

    Everything looks so lovely, for sure.

    Thank you very much Popped and Reg :] Really happy it's getting positive reviews!

    ...I was gonna wait but I did two more builds that I'd like to share.
    The library!

    And another stilted house on the water :]

    Screenshot-113_zpsbbe702ce.jpg

    ...I'm going to sleep now, haha.

    Also I have a question!!
    If there was an update for Origin, do I need to redownload CAW? There's no update for TS3 though...
    But I'm unable to upload my world to the launcher, so I can do some testing.

    Would appreciate an answer, thank you so much!
