Seasons contains some Simlish tracks by real-life artists, just like all other expansion packs for the Sims 2, including Lily Allen's "Smile." That song is the one that's up in the contest, with which you can win a trip to EA in Redwood Shores, California (near San Francisco) for 2 people, 4 tickets to a Lily Allen concert and copies of The Sims 2 and The Sims 2 Seasons. The runner-up will get an iKaraoke machine together with the Sims 2 and Seasons.

226. We Like White 2 Underway

Written on Sunday 11 March 2007 at 05:49 by Jendea - 0 comments.

Several years ago I did a series of Sims1 Houses for the "We Like White" theme on Jendea Simitecture. Recently I ran into someone who was familiar with them and asked if I was planning to do a Sims2 sequel. So...without further ado, here is the first installment of We Like White 2 Houses.

For those not familiar with the first set, the concept is to leave the decorating up to the downloader. The packages are simple, no shopping lists or huge package files to worry about cleaning up. The houses are devoid of practically all decor or color, in fact, the same basic walls and floors are used. I have occasionally put in some basic Maxis furnishing if I felt the areas were vague in intent. My hope is that the lots are interesting enough to use as is, but spark the decorator in you!
Hope you have fun with these.

You can find these 5 WLW lots and the Build Pack under my section:jendea.
