So, without further ado...

*Disclaimer: I am an American. I dream of one day living in Scotland, and returning my family to it's roots there. I know very little of Japanese or other Eastern cultures - I do love sushi though!

Google taught me that Japanese hotels (which are more like B&B's) are called ryokan. And many of them feature hot spring baths, or onsens. A natural outdoor onsen is a rotenburo. Hence the name Rotenburo Ryokan (or should it have been Ryokan Rotenburo?) Men and women do not usually share an onsen, and those with tattoos are not allowed in at all (in most places.) My ryokan has two springs; one for men, and one for women. And, since none of my sims have tattoos - that's not an issue atm. LOL!

Each of the three guest rooms include both a tub and shower, towels, coffee maker, mini-fridge, dining table with chairs, a telephone, and a double bed.

The hotel was play-tested for the contest; this downloadable version has never had anyone set foot on the property. Everything works as it should. The tour guide spawns where he's supposed to (by the pay phone out front.) The garbage can is inside the front gate, with another trash compacter in the restaurant kitchen. "Freezy" (the in-game housekeeper) did not freeze - I have a 'proof' picture included - showing that she's just finished making the bed and cleaning Don's bathroom. Don ordered room service - it was delivered and eaten just fine. Things to do include: TV in the lobby, piano, dartboard, mahjongg, bar, restaurant, hot springs, fishing, and tour guide.

Install Instructions
1. Download: Click the download link to save the .rar or .zip file(s) to your computer.

3. Install: Double-click on the .sims2pack file to install its contents to your game. The files will automatically be installed to the proper location(s).
- You may want to use the Sims2Pack Clean Installer instead of the game's installer, which will let you install sims and pets which may otherwise give errors about needing expansion packs.
