Key Features
- Free placement — position buildings, garages, roads, and landscaping anywhere on your plot
- Multi-story garages — display up to 50 cars in custom showroom layouts
- Visitable — friends and random players can tour your Estate
- Photo spots — design your own backdrop for photo mode
- Seasonal changes — your Estate transforms with Japan's dynamic seasons
