Japan has some really beautiful scenary: the cyberpunk/futuristic big cities like Tokyo, the countryside with farms and mountains, the traditional places like Kyoto and the coastal area with beaches and a more tropical vibe, like Okinawa :)
I absolutely love all these kinds of aesthetics, and I believe you do too :)
I really wanted to have a Japanese coastal world, that's why I created this mod.
Tartosa is probably the most, or one of the most, beautiful worlds we have on TS4 at the moment. I didn't want to modify it at all, but it was the only place that could match the project's concept.
Anyway, I'll explain the changes and the download instructions down below :)
You can check how it looks on THIS VIDEO :)
If by any chance you want to download the Sims that appear on the video, they will be on my gallery. ID: channel4sims ^^
ABOUT THIS MOD:
- It's not a World replacement, but an objects override. I replaced a few items of Tartosa to give a "Japanese vibe".
- How I made this: I chose an object that was used just once and edited it.
For example, this wall sign appeared just once. So I edited the mesh and added 3 more objects on it (picture). I made 1 object become 4 objects (picture). It was really difficult to know where to position everything and where they would be in the world. I made infinite tests 😅 But it ended up working ^^
- The things I could edit were a little limited and the neighborhood would become too laggy/heavy to load.
CHANGES/REALLY IMPORTANT:
- As said above, some objects of the world were replaced. Unlucky they mostly decorative only (for example: the vending machine near the robot).
- The food stall employees' uniforms were also edited.
- The food stall at the square is still a flower shop. Only the visual was changed to match the japanese world concept.
- The pastry shop was conterved into a ramen store, but it also works normally (with the cakes).
But to the "order food" option I added a lot of japanese food and drinks you can buy :)
- Tartosa still works normally, with all the wedding options. I just added some japanese elements and visuals.
- I did not change Tartosa's icons/images in the World's menu. But I did change the name to Kokoro Island. In portuguese it will appear as "Ilha Kokoro" and in Spanish "Isla Kokoro". The name won't be changed for past gameplays, but once you start a new game/save the new name will show up :)
- Once you remove this MOD from your game's folder, Tartosa will go back to normal :) Important: the gameplays you start with this mod installed will keep the name "Kokoro Island", even if you delete the mod.
- The lots and families of Tartosa were also not edited. I recommend you to change all lots to japanese houses/community ones, so they will add up to the city's visuals :)
IDEAS:
- Would anyone be interested in a more pastel/wooden recolor of the buildings? I kept most of them in their original colors.
- You can tell me if something is not working properly :)
DOWNLOAD:
- There will be three zip files below to be downloaded:
* "channel4sims - kokoro island - tartosa objects override": with the override objects.
* "channel4sims - kokoro island - tartosa flower stall override": with the replacement of the flower stall -> japanese stall. Maybe you want to keep the original flower stall as it is, that's why I decided to post it separately.
* "channel4sims - kokoro island - tartosa name override": with the file that replaces "Tartosa" name to "Kokoro Island".
- Download all files, or just the ones you want :)
- Important: Don't put the files inside more then two folders, or they may not work.
Example: *Mods/Tartosa replacements: (two folders) CORRECT.
*Mods/Replacements/Tartosa: (three folders) INCORRECT/won't work.
I hope you'll enjoy this a lot!
Happy Simming ^^
