    So there's a couple things I can fix, and some that I can't.

    Like that silly ghost lot. Can't find it ;_;

    And boats love to get trapped in those tiny waterways (as in pic above shows) that lead to the cannals. I just have to do testing cheats enabled in order to reset the sim and delete the boat. I used the sim routing terrain paint there, so sims wouldn't route... but alas, they ignore and carry on with their dumb sim lives getting stuck and angry.

    Otherwise routing is fine. Few little things I forgot to add on some lots so I'll be working on that today and tomorrow.

    I also decided I might just build a small World Adventures base camp somwhere between the long treck to the Miyagi's Dojo and town. We'll see... Though I never want to build another asian inspired architecture again. xD You get tired of it eventually, but I did want the theme to flow through my neighborhood. So what can ya do?

    That's it for now, here's some more testing pics for funzies.

    (Probably my all time favorite build in the game. The interior is extremely girly! xD)

    Congrats on posting your world :D
    I'm missing a few PC store items but I'm sure I'll enjoy spending time there.
    Is this release your beta testing?

    Thank you so much Folly :] Good to hear from you hun!

    And hello Stella! No this is the real release. However, if you do find problems that you can not fix yourself, please let me know and I'll do my best to take down information and maybe in the future, re-release with other expansions.

    I'll be updating the front page with sim families I've made for Simkyoto. They don't really have back stories, just quickly making them so my world is filled with pre-mades instead of random computer generated ones... They don't quite fit the town, ya know? xD

    This was a very pleasant surprise, but I am a little disappointed that no one told
    me that this was back on the map so to speak. Anyway, I am def going to download
    and do some serious play testing :D It is beautiful, and I am so happy that you were
    finally able to finish it :] Love it! Congratulations!

    I hope you do manage to upload it to the exchange as well, I think I can smell
    a feature (and it would be extremely well deserved) coming your way ;)

    I LOVE it already!!!

    I love specially the market place and the terraces. I never saw a world with terraces, they look amazing!
    The houses looks very japanese - beautiful!!

    Cant wait to see more!! :)

    Question: No CC, right? You must have written it somewhere, but... honestly? I didn't check :oops:

    Correct. There is no CC. I did a clean install with just the expansions and content used for this world. Nothing else was added. Just what is listed on the front page :)

    Great! I'll download it and recommend, of course! :thumbup:

    Many thanks for creating this beautiful world!!! :D

    Edit: As you see on my pic profile, I have a japanese sim who can't wait to live there!! :wink:

    Yay, it's here :D It's so incredibly beautiful. Excellent job; you can really tell how much work and attention to detail you put into this. I'm so impressed! I've never downloaded anything from the exchange, but I want to add this world to my game.

    Oh. So do you still need Japanese sims or no? Because if you will still take them I have two I am about ready to upload. They are not households though.

    This is such a beautiful, detailed, and coherent world. Thank you so much for sharing it with us! I really, really looking forward to sending my sims on vacation here with Traveler :-)
    You can still find me on my old My page (http://mypage.thesims3.com/mypage/GreenCats), and see more of my game-play pictures and CC-free uploads at gcsims.com

    Oh! I still want people to share their sims. :) so yes please share them!!

    As for everyone, I'd love to see some pictures of your sims and how you're using the neighborhood :D

    Thank you everyone for downloading the world. I know it's off media fire, because my launcher refuses to share my builds or world, STILL. It gets irritating :/ oh well.

    I'm actually planning a new project. Super stoked to start it up and share it with you. Mr. Crumplebottom started this project a long time ago and it was never completed, so I decided to make the same type of world instead of waiting for it :D

    That's it for now! Thank you again ^_^

    Hey Oilbasedoleander! I've been trying to upload those two sims I mentioned for days now, but the dang launcher won't let me upload them! I'll keep on trying to upload them but I just wanted to let you know. Also, I downloaded your world and I must say, it is outstanding! The buildings you've crafted are stellar and the surrounding landscape is just as amazing. Oh and also, thank you for being the first (that I know of) to create a Japanese inspired world for the sims 3. I love your world so much! :D

    I started a new game in Simkyoto and it really is amazing!
    I love it so much, everything looks great and the japanese theme
    has been captured extremely well :] I have also added a few of my
    own houses (modern and traditional) and they blend in beautifully!

    Thanks for creating this world Oiled! I will report back to you if I
    encounter any problems, but so far I haven't noticed anything.

    I found it a bit hard to access the hospital at first because my sim refused
    to use one of the three elevators that you have placed on that lot.

    The solution was to simply remove the elevator in the middle.
    Having three in a row obviously caused some sort of routing issue.
    I also had to use a cheat in order to be able to change anything on
    the lot because it was "locked". Ah and one more thing, but this is
    not a big deal, just something I noticed. The "Dark and Modern" lot
    has three mailboxes :P Don't know why that is but it was easily fixed :]

    Ugh, I hate when the game spawns multiple objects. It does that with my bunk beds and spawners. I have to go through and delete them. One time I had 30 spawners on top of each other. >_< Really? 30? *sigh*

    And sorry about the locked lot! I didn't know it was :O I mean luckily there is a cheat to unlock it but eek, sorry. :/

    But I'm glad you're playing! I'm going through some computer issues right now, trying to partition my hard drive a little larger because I'm running out of room on my PC side. I might go back and make some changes to the world and add more lots and upload them for everyone. Also sims! I need to make sims!

    <3

    Thank you Manssom! So good to hear from ya hun! *hugs*

    I didn't/don't use mods in my game.
    So yes.
    And no Patterns/Third Party Custom Content (such as objects not created by EA, but by modders).
