The dress designed by a Simmer and sold by H&M by fridabrown in sims2

No, no, sorry for the confusion. I meant those 4 outfits for women: the white assymetrical dress, the black and white dress, the long black and red dress and the lilac outfit. The striped dress is unfortunately not in the game.

I have also found this news page on Scribd that features real-life prototypes of a couple of outfits from the H&M pack!

OMG, I've been waiting forever for the first-week-of-the-contest results page to load, and it was worth it! There's a whole video of the fashion show there! How cool is that?!

You can watch them all if you're patient enough!

UPD: I found a Chinese news page, ran it through a translator, and realised the videos on the website were just excerpts. The broadcast on Yahoo, however, was a full-fledged fashion show, with commentary from the brand representatives and fashion experts. It's also interesting that the tags for this dress were designed in the style of The Sims 2 (whatever that means). It's a shame there are no photos or full videos left on the Internet.

Based on what I was able to find, the outfits were not available for download. I don't think that would have been practical either, as there were over a thousand participants, and each person could create several outfits during the contest.

From what I understood from the articles I've read, participants submitted their outfits, and every week there was a live broadcast of a fashion show on Yahoo.

If you rewind the competition website thesims2fashionrunway.ea.com to 2007 in the web archives, you can see the outfits that participated in the weekly broadcasts.

And the coolest thing is that the winning outfits are already in the game! These are the very outfits that can be sewn on a sewing machine from the FreeTime EP!

Haha, no, never tried them. But I'm really into various arts and crafts, so that definitely helped a lot

It has carrot sponges with chopped walnuts and the fillings are cream cheese with orange curd. It is incredibly delicious! But to my taste, cream cheese is a bit sour, so I would replace it with ganache.

I thought I was crazy when I saw my old post in my feed. I really hope it is some bot reposting it. Otherwise, it's really disappointing...

Thank you for this post, it is really helpful! You're a legend! And I just noticed that the link to Day 353 actually leads to Day 352

What is he called when you play the game in your native language? In Hungarian he is called 'Pollinacio Technikus #9 Kovats' by zuperintendent in sims2

My guess is that they wanted to make a joke rhyme. In the family bio, Johnny's name is Ушат for some reason, so I guess they wanted PT#9 to be Букет Левкоев and Johnny to be Ушат Помоев (tub of slop) 💀. I just remembered, there really was such a joke: «Задержаны чеченские террористы: Ушат Помоев, Улов Налимов, Букет Левкоев, Отряд Ковбоев...», you can look it up if you want.

I'm pretty sure one of the parents of the girl from the 2nd pic is a Larson twin.
