    You can see the slit in the some of the promos if you pay really close attention, but I totally get not noticing something in the "rush" to purchase something.

    Cloudfare, you have to love it. Not. Sorry about the duplicate entry.

    It really is frustrating the number of products with promos that expect us to guess what the product looks like from the sides or back.

    Very often, I will straight-up refuse to purchase a product, even if I theoretically like it, if it refuses to show it well from all angles.

    I actually took those images to indicate a see-through fabric area and made a mental note to myself I would need to use shaders. Even with my new glasses it wasn't clear to me. I understand that when we are paying $1.99 for an item, we can't expect the same level of detail in documentation and quality as if we are paying $25.99 for a similar item. My post was to alert others to the issues I ran into and how I handled them. The dress is lovely.

    I am not picturing what you mean, and don't have the dress, but if it is not fitting it's possible there is still a simulation applied - on the off chance try the Clear Simulation Data option from the Simulation Settings option menu (which clears the simulation, not any paarmerters for the simulation)

    I bought many cafes here, but what I wanted most was a cafe like the ones in a video game, and this one made my dream come true. Thank you.

    However, it seems I'll have to renovate the second floor myself, just like in that game.

    +1 -- if I don't know what I'm getting, I don't get it. I seriously don't understand how people can put such effort into making the product, then not even spare a couple extra shots for a full 360. I'm not even asking for anything fancy. Just... /something./

    re the dress: I wouldn't have figured that was a slit, either. I figured the dress was just a bit more sheer and that was how the light was hitting it.

    That must be a cat, just kidding. There are some dried plants on the ceiling, so I guess that's what the cage is for, or maybe it's just an art installation.

    I suspect it's a temporary abode for a stroppy customer.

    I hadn't notice that cage. But for a country that has bad earthquakes, would they hang heavy items over areas where their customers sit? I have lived in California (native) and in Greece during bad earthquakes and one thing I am leary of is hanging anythin on walls, ceilings, or not anchoring bookshelves or cabinets to keep them from falling over. I don't even like fans over beds. 

    Anyone who has lived or visited Japan, is this a common style of coffee shop?

    I don't think you would find a coffee shop like this in Japan. In particular, the tatami space placed directly on the floor feels very unnatural. Typically, a tatami seating area—known as a 'Zashiki'—is elevated above the floor level, and customers take off their shoes before stepping up. Having customers sit on tatami that is placed flush with the regular floor would actually be considered disrespectful in Japanese culture.

  • memcneil70memcneil70 Posts: 6,077

    Thank you @CantumMk2. I think I will wait for @Sugatek to create a coffee shop or a place of that type before I buy one.

  • AsuCafeAsuCafe Posts: 506

    As a country located in an earthquake zone, we don't stop placing these things just because of earthquakes. Chandeliers and ceiling fans are very common, and they are usually quite sturdy. I think shops would avoid placing them directly above customer seating.

    Sometimes Xivon does fall short on certain cultural details... Tatami mats can be laid on the floor, but considering the height difference with guests at the next table, it would look odd. While Japan certainly has many unconventional business owners, and tatami mats should have some thickness, not just be a sheet of paper, this can be easily modified anyway.

    Yes, it is.  It's basically the equivalent of all the stuff stuck on the wall at a sportsbar or TGI fridays/Chilis.

    just a thought it maybe a Japanese themed cafe but does that mean it has to be set in Japan could be based on ones in other countries as well as run by non Japanese just using the concept there are plenty of those I assume worldwide same with other themed stores it could be based on I was thinking chickens or other birds btw in the cages either as food or ambiance

  • WendyLuvsCatzWendyLuvsCatz Posts: 41,486

    because chicken shit falling from above on your brew and pastry adds to the ambiance cheeky

    The exterior has a distinctly Showa-era design, which is the biggest reason I love this cafe. The surrounding environment and streets are also very authentically Japanese. Inside, there are Japanese menus everywhere, and apart from a few odd kanji characters, I think it's definitely in Japan.

    I just noticed a problem: in Japanese, coffee is written as "珈琲", just like its signboard, but elsewhere it's written as "咖啡", which is the Chinese way of writing it.

    Maybe those other signs were made in China, like everything in the U.S.

    This is why I tend to avoid these sorts of sets. I'd never catch something like that.

    and in an unreal world we create, does it matter really? Suppose if you were doing realistic recreations, yes, but otherwise, not really.

    Your boundary is yours. Mine is mine. Everyone's is different. 

    Regardless, in this case the two words mean coffee. In other cases, I have no idea if the incorrect word is something profane. Wrong happens. Profane is a problem. And since I speak neither language, I avoid the issue as much as possible.

    I was just pointing out a typo, whether it's a typo or something else (like the tatami mat). These are quite common here, and I don't really care; I just happened to see it and mentioned it casually.

    If my tone was off, it's Google translate's fault.

    A simple test revealed that this product is surprisingly lightweight for a Xivon product, yet the details are quite impressive. It even includes a complete second-floor space. Unfortunately, all the doors are fake, and many items are merged into one object (though there are still 41 props). Even the main door is merged with the wall and cannot be opened. I recall there's an editor that could fix this...

    Lot of places like that in Hawaii, but add feral chickens into the mix as those are everywhere as well, not to mention the occasional mongoose.  The minute someone leaves, the birds descend en masse for the leftovers, and often they'll land on the table while you're still using it.  It's the tradeoff you get when you opt for open air seating.

    https://www.daz3d.com/collider-slime This product says it's "script based". Do we know if it works with DS 4, 6, or both?

    I don't like open air seating in places without circling birds. To each their own.
