#sims republic

I haven’t posted in 500 years, I know.

But in that time, I finally figured out how to use Create a World. And with my newfound knowledge, I’m now able to build the ideal world to fit my vision. (That sounds very supervillain-y). 

It seems like a lot, but basically I’ve been working on an edit of Sims Republic’s Mayumachi. I mentioned on here before that I’ve been building a Japanese-inspired town with it, but I found that some of the lot placement wasn’t working for me. Hence, my endeavor with Create a World. So I moved a few things around, adjusted lot sizes, and placed CC to fit the theme. And before anyone asks, no I will not release my edit of the town out of respect for Sims Republic. They obviously did the majority of the work; I am but a simple simmer.  

Anyway, here are some houses and apartments currently in the town. Like with my convenience store, they are all based on actual buildings in Japan’s Tohoku region. 

As the town takes shape, more pictures will come (probably in another 500 years).

For the past two years, I’ve been working sporadically on a town build using Sims Republic’s Mayumachi custom world. But after all that time and effort, I’ve decided to completely start over. Because I’ve been building for so long, the quality of the lots are all over the place. Some of the older ones were simply... not good. 

This time around, I’m drawing on my memories of traveling through Japan’s Tohoku region to influence the town’s aesthetic. Once of the first lots I’m building is this convenience store, located across the street from Mayumachi’s train station. 

This community lot build is inspired by a Family Mart (formerly a Circle K Sunkus) convenience store located in Hiranai, a town in Japan’s Aomori Prefecture.

Thank you again to @martassimsbookcc for converting the Japanese Convenience Store Set by @studio-k-creation to Sims 3! The CC really pulls the whole lot together. You can download the set here.

Interior shots to follow soon.
