New Letter From Luc

You'll find three new screenshots in the gallery focusing on design in The Sims 2. Along with them, Luc sent us a letter explaining them:

Hello Everyone,
�
It's been another busy week here at Maxis for The Sims 2 Development Team. And I had a great time with the chat yesterday... (Loved that 3some question...)
�
Here at Maxis, we are battling the "post holiday" blues. Every January, most people are bitten by the "home improvement bug" and are inspired to tackle house d�cor projects to combat the melancholy.� The Sims in The Sims 2 are no different.� Embracing this theme, I thought I'd update you as to the new "D�cor Collections" for building and decorating your dream home or living space in The Sims 2.
�
In The Sims 2, decorating reaches new heights of style and sophistication.� You will be now be able to choose objects for your Sims' environment from a dozen new d�cor styles. The game will include a variety of themed style collections that include Asian, Modern and Moroccan.� The collections will include furniture, accessories, and wall and floor treatments from each specific theme. Players will also be able to add, delete, or create new objects within these collections or create an entirely new collection. We imagine that players will enjoy creating and sharing their own decor collections with one another.� Who needs those home decorating shows when you have The Sims 2?
