Here is my new plugin : the new Japan Residential Building Pack ! This pack contains 230 + Japanese-themed T , TT , and TTT residential buildings for your city , from old historic houses to suburban homes , apartement complexes , low - rise buildings , and large-scale apartement towers !
~~~ 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 5 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 TheoTown 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 anime material .
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 !
An image showcasing the new buildings is available in the comment section ( I unfortunatly hit image attachment limits ) .

~ About the 4 zones of this pack ~
After installing this plugin , you will find 4 new zones in your residential tab .
The first one is the Traditional Japanese Zone : this zone allows you to build only traditional style buildings . Those are only 1x1 and 2x2 T and TT buildings and are quite limited in progress ( they don't grow a lot ), so please keep this in mind when designing your city .
Traditional zone showcase coming
The next zone is the long awaited Suburban Zone which has been requested by many people . This zone allows you to build only comtemporary houses and suburban homes . Those are only 1x1 and 2x2 T and TT buildings and don't grow a lot .
Suburban zone showcase coming
Third one is the low-density / low-rise zone which allows you to build only low - rise apartement buildings . It allows only buildings with 1 to 4 floors to spawn : quite handy if you want to control the maximum height of the buildings in a certain area . Got the idea of creating this zone due to many of fellows TT cities creators enjoying my low - rise buildings .
Low rise zone showcase coming
And lastly , the 'classic ' Residential Zone which was included in the previous update . This allows any building from this pack to spawn , including the tall 5x5 apartement buildings !

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 pack !

IMPORTANT :
Please note that I splitted my residential and commercial JP buildings in their own separate pack . If you were using the previous 2022 version of the JPPack ( 2.3.2 ) and want to keep the commercial buildings , I included the link to the dedicated forum post for it below .
Link : viewtopic.php?t=25325
If you used the old versions of the pack , please remove the old version from your plugin folder and replace it with the new JPpack2-5-0.zip if you don't want to have issues when launching the game ( aka id already in use ) .
As usual , if you any suggestions to improve this pack or buildings that you want to see included in this pack , please let me know in the comments !
With that , have fun !
