--- A few words about this pack ---
This pack started as a basic update of my previous one , but because of the difference of quality i decided to keep them separate .
This project started around 4 years ago , after i made a few buildings . I worked on most of the buildings during the 1st French lockdown ( around March-May 2020 ).
As you might know , the original Japan pack was my first big plugin which made me part of the TT communauty , so I pretty much consider this pack as a tribute to the original .
The original pack can be found here : viewtopic.php?t=7940
( warning , the graphics are quite bad , since its old )
As said previously , the original idea was to make only Tokyo buildings , but eventually I added buildings from other areas , like Toyama , Nagoya , Fukuoka , Osaka , Kobe , and much more . The aim of this project is to make a variety of buildings inspired by Japan's architecture style , from historic wooden houses to state - of - the - art modern apartement buildings ! Around 95 % of the buildings are inspired by real life buildings will the last 5 % are either inspired by AI - generated images or coming from animes .
I was inspired to revive this project a few months ago after playing TheoTown again and using the NYC / North American pack , which has its own zone ( really recommend it ! ) . It made me want to make my own zone and that's how I got back into ' plugin business ' !
The reason I took so much time before releasing this new update was that I wasn't satisfied enough with the progress to publish it . But thanks to the fellow communauty of the Citadel Discord Server for their continued support and feedback I'm very happy to present this new update for you to enjoy !
This new update ( 2.4.5 ) adds around 60 buildings I made during the last four months and mainly focuses on 1x1 and 2x2 houses , some small 1x1 apartement buildings , and a few large apartement buildings . It also goes with its own custom zone . It's not perfect yet , but hey , that's a start !
I also made a few mirrored versions for a bunch of buildings along with implementing animations for the apartement towers and some buildings .
A picture of a city I made to test the zone .
Here are some pics made by fellow city creators from the Citadel server using some of the buildings from this pack to showcase the possibilities of this new pack !
Tippenard by Dual :
Keep in mind that this pack is still work - in - progress , so I'm still working on improving it , like adding more buildings , animations , etc !
If you have any suggestions of buildings you would like to see me implement in this pack , feel free to post them in the comments below !
Hope you will enjoy the pack !

If you used the old versions of the pack , please remove the old version from your plugin folder and replace it with the new JPpack2-4-5-2024.zip if you don't want to have issues when launching the game ( aka id already in use ) .
With that , have fun !
