TokyosouV2: A Tokyo inspired Japanese World (updated)

This world has a few sections that are inspired by various cities/towns around Japan.

-The central main section I hope gives the feel of downtown Tokyo.
-Westside has a small section that is a blend of Kyoto and the Meguro river area.
- to the south is a port that is inspired by Yokohama,
- to the East is a small mountain village section that was inspired by Yamanose. (If you ever played Shenmue, it is the village that Ryo Hazuki lives)

Tokyosou V2 version to reduce lag and some things that needed to be fixed. The file is large because the population is included, there is no save file needed to play. Please let me know if you find something that needs to be fixed. Follow instructions in readme.

Oh wow this looks great!! The sculpting on your Mt. Fuji looks very realistic, and man those cherry trees along the river are gorgeous <3 Your world definitely evokes the feeling of Tokyo, keep up the great work! I'll be so happy to watch this world evolve, I love all things Japanese :D you should share a bunch more pictures!!
Just a suggestion, if you're not opposed to using "custom" terrains (some are actually custom, some are pulled from EA worlds), they can really add some realistic touches to a world! Modthesims and Nilxis's website have some really pretty terrains to download! Especially for rock and grass, they look much more realistic than the stock EA terrains :)

Thank you @Bettyboop55 ^_^

A few more pics of things I've completed
Tokyosou Shizuka Gravesite

Would it be better to keep the Tomb Rabbithole red and let it stand out or recolor it
to match the stone?

Yamamura Village upper enterance

The pets entrance really reminds me of Torii, (might go back and recolor it red)
and in this case it marks the entrance to a mundane looking village, but is it really?

Shiroi Shiro (White Castle) Area

Not finshed yet, just was thinking of either making it a livable home or a Townie's home ( a Prince? Royalty?)
And a spot for two homes and I don't know what will go in the commercial spot...

Tokyosou looks an absolutely awesome world! <3

I must admit that a city environment with CC is visually so much better than without especially at night!!! ... and I agree with everyone else - the Sakura Walk along the river is extremely beautiful! Looking forward to seeing more screenshots :D

@Nikkei_Simmer : Thanks! I hope to finish in the next couple of months, if not by the end of this year ^_^; Even if I don't finish by then I am thinking about uploading what I have so far...

@Hidehi Thank you. Yeah it was really hard for me to decide to use CC, I tried just using the Bridgeport buildings and etc but it just didn't have the same feel I wanted for Tokyo...
As such, I really admire your Da Changshi you are doing fantastic with no CC!

I am still working on this! I have a few more buildings completed and started on making some Townies. I will update pics later or tomorrow.

Great to see some more awesome screenshots :) !!!

I especially love the look of the river docks, the row of houses of Lower Yamamura and the realistic looking onsen <3
... I actually can't wait for you to make Tokyosou available to download ... despite the CC :D

Beautiful work. I particularly like the way the riverside buildings reflect in the river :)
