Mulan, Akihabara, Tokyo Mulan is a secondhand store in Akihabara, Tokyo that has many floors of Otaku culture trinkets as well as tons of gachapon (capsule vending machine) collectibles. The bright yellow and red building is one of the most striking and recognizable buildings in Akihabara. CS$$7 1x1 building, purposely made as a corner as to not have it pop up everywhere. Plop version included as well. I made five different Otaku billboard variations. This can be used with @rare_guava's Sega building, my Hirose block, and the HKABT Ishimaru-LAOX (which is now Edion) and Onoden to create a streetscape, since they all neighbor each other.

Tsukumo eX Block, Akihabara, Tokyo A new building, finished after the Simtropolis server went back up. Tsukumo is a PC parts retailer and PC builder in Akihabara, Tokyo. This is their flagship store and they have everything to build your own PC. They have two locations in Akiba as well as stores in Nagoya, Osaka, Sapporo and Fukuoka. A lot of the other retailers in this block are also in their real life locations, including Janpara Electronics, the Glansit Capsule Hotel, Liberty Anime, Mobi, Surugaya, the Meat Winery (steak and wine), Coo&Riku Cat Cafe, Coco Toka Tea, Carl's Jr., Maidreamin, the Sadatei building, among others. To fill out the building, because there are a lot of empty spaces, I added a mix of real and fictional businesses, many from Cities Skylines and Grand Theft Auto Real Brands Starbucks Reserve Daily Yamazaki 7 Brew Houston Hot Chicken Hands Express Yellow Hat Henry's Burger Pigment Thanko Big Echo Karakoke Tomod's Ponos NTT Sekaido Shimamura Roast Beef Ohno Konami Gym Grand Theft Auto Brands GTA Food Court (with all your favorite Grand Theft Auto Brands, including Cluckin Bell and Burger Shot) 24/7 Market Cities Skylines Brands Big Bite Go Nuts Donuts Chirper Jubilee Auto Office Yakisoba Burned Bean Coffee Law Accountants Banhammer Bank Pop-Soda Kristin's Lingerie 5AM Club Club 801 FlexGYM To round it out, I added a mix of real billboards and some pop cultural ones (have fun spotting all the references!). 4x3 grow CS$$9 and plop w/ jobs included.

Sofmap, Akihabara, Tokyo Sofmap is one of the giants in PC and PC equipment sales in Japan. They are owned by Bic Camera now, but were on the front lines of the growth of the computer industry in Japan. We actually have a Sofmap, but that was converted to a Bic a few years ago. This is across the street from that Sofmap/Bic building in Akihabara and is the flagship store for Sofmap. Tenants change so quickly in Akihabara as the famous Mister Donut that was open for decades closed in 2024 in the first floor of the building. It was replaced with Taiwanese boba chain Gong Cha as of late 2024/early 2025. I put both in the first floor since this is a game, and your sims deserve both. There's also a Y! Mobile storefront, like in real life, as well as many advertisements for electronics plastered all over the building. MSI is a big Sofmap partner, and they sell a lot of the computers that they made with Mercedes-AMG in these stores. In the back there is a Lifork remote work office. The building is eight floors. Floors 1-7 specialize in electronics and PC equipment, with Apple on the third floor. In the seventh floor there is also a maid cafe, and the eighth floor is an esports event space that is reservation-only, usually for pro gaming leagues and streaming. I want to thank Emperor Li of Cities Skylines fame for the original 3D blueprint that I based it off of. I built this from the ground up and used their pictures as inspiration. Contains a 2x2 CS$$9 corner building and a 2x2 Plop. Dependencies: None! Enjoy.- 4 Comments

Bic Camera, Akihabara, Tokyo This is the Bic Camera store in Akihabara. Bic started as a small camera store in Ikebukuro but now sells, pretty much, everything. There are 45 Bic stores in Japan and they also own 24 Sofmap stores and partially-own 150 Kojima stores. This building used to be a Sofmap store until the merger in 2006. We actually have this building as a Sofmap, but while the Sofmap that was made was a 2x2, this is a 3x3 to more accurately reflect how large this store actually is. Considering it's neighbor, Don Quijote, is also 3x3 and parallel to this building, it made sense. This specific location also has a McDonald's in the first floor and an eyeglasses chain that sells Ray-Ban and Oakley on the back edge, as well as an underground parking garage. 3x3 Plop and a CS$$8 corner growable included as well as a CS$$8 alternate version with ground floor clothing shops that are hip to the current trends of youth culture. The grow-only version with first floor shops includes: Supreme Anti-Social Social Club NTS Radio Palace BAPE (A Bathing Ape) ASICS Air Jordan Vans New Balance Sanrio Pop Mart (the Labubu seller) Birkenstock Crocs Dependencies: Just one.

Hello, Neonsim here. Alot of you may remember me, i think, to the new comers welcome to my Recreation of Tokyo Japan using Google Earth, I say recreation because i'm recreating all of it, The 23 major wards, Railways, Freeways, small cities and towns inside of the Metropolitan Area of Tokyo. all the Way to Tokyo Bay and the Haneda international Airport. this is going to take a long time to finish...years really, but i've got a great start...and lucky for me, the outskirts of Tokyo...are just Residential houses and schools... where as the center is the Grit and girth of office buildings...residential towers and etc. So with out further ado, it has been quite awhile CJ readers and bloggers, i have not been on the CJ in some time, iv'e been so busy with other things in my life plus my sim city 4 not being able to load my region which was absolutely devastating as this CJ has taken so long to make and still is today and still have so long to go in the future, but now that i can finally access it, i am more excited then ever to bring you the most detailed and realistic recreation of the whole of Tokyo that i can possibly manage, from Shibuya...to Shinjuku and everything in between, i have already been ,mapping out roads, highways and rail ways around the map, as you will see in the Transportation overview, I have been working on separate areas rather then staying in one place only seeing as how the city is so large. In this update i will be showing updates on my Akihabara, Aka electric town, Akihabara 秋葉原！Imperial Palace and Shidome,roppongi. But first a Transportation and satailite overview. Here you can see i have been connecting the freeways and railways of the Tokyo region, Center is the imperial gardens which i am currently working on at the moment, The purple rail line you see is the Yamanote line that runs from the south of tokyo to the Akihabara Station and onwards, (Imperial gardens is the lastest Green land in Tokyo behind Yoyogi park and Shinjuku Gyoen International Gardens, The imperial grounds also feature Nippon Budokan, a collesium like Tokyo Dome. I have to move the Ginza, as Ginza is right under the Main Yamanote Station in the Imperial palace area in Chiyoda. A Satalite Image. These two pictures are from late 2014, to keep you in suspense, I have finished alot more than what you see now it's a surprise though Imperial Palace and Gardens. Tokyo Japan. This is what i currently have for the Imperial Gardens area, i terraformed out the River system(still needs some smoothing work) but got the length and width correct going by how large the actual avanues are in real life, at the top Left you can see the Yamanote line which will also feature the Yamanote Ginza Station. In the lower Center You can see the Green Nippon Budakon Collesium, This area is located in the ward of Chiyoda. A close up of Budakon. Nippon Budakon and the Innercular Toll Road, apart of the C1 loop from shinjuku. A close up of the palace and the inner grounds. I tried to get these areas as close to possible on a real life scale, i find using Google Earth 3d view...is extremely helpful for this. I still have to add gardens and a lake within the grounds, It's amazing how this massive oasis is nothing but a pebble in the urban chaos and concrete jungle of Tokyo. Shidome Skyline, Tokyo Japan. Here is small update of the Shibuya outter area which includes shidome, Roppongi and etc. the highway you see snaking through is the C2 outter toll road. Downtown with the super cool ative shidome tower.(right) Shinjuku Skyline, Tokyo Japan. Some pictures of Shinjuku downtown(Skyline) just for good measure. The freeway you see by the Shinjuku park tower(the building with 3 towers together in the top left) is called C1 inner loop, which snakes it's way through shinjukugocomae, the massive station you see at the bottom middle is Shinjuku station. which takes millions of passengers a day. The complex to the left with the UI bubble is the Eastern Japan Railway HQ. Fun fact, there are over (Try counting all the buildings in this picture.) it's almost dizying how many there are, puts you in a mini culture shock. Akihabara!! And a storm trooper, with a guitar. AKIHABARA!!! My hands down favorite area of Tokyo, All of the Anime, Manga, Games, and just any kind of Electronic you can find in general can be found here. Zoomed out. The Rail line you see is the Yamanote line, (coming from the middle down to the main Station in the right (Akihabara Station) The Three main towers you see are part of the Aki Cross feild Complex(Akihabara Crossfeild UDX) home to Many, many, many Animation studios, a animation university, and a high school. the massive Building in the back is the Akihabara Yodobashi akiba, the largest Electronics store in the world. On the main strip, you can see many familiar Akihabara buildings, such as LAOX, sega arcade, Taito game station, AOKI, Shonsen tower, Don Quijote, Animate and many many more.My otaku Sims love them very much. The buildings and streets are point and square where they are located in real life, Again...thanks to the 3d view on Google Earth(A life saver) zoomed in. Night I don't remember the name of the Lighting mod i used for Day and night, But it's amazing. I'm telling you right now, working on this Recreation and CJ has just been an absolutely amazing and incredible experience, Recreating one of the largest cities on earth in fine detail is no Easy task not by any long shot. I could have aproached this with something that looks similar, but no, I want Tokyo down to fine details in different wards. Well that's all for now, thank you for reading, please be sure to rate and Follow, as i have Much more to show you.
