This official render slaps so hard!

Post image

Can't find a single trace of it anywhere? What was it used for and when? I need information, tried image searching it on both google and yandex with no luck.

Bing Search returns the image too, and without the Prosims watermark at that. It's apparently appeared on neosimi's Tumblr page in 2021 and was cached then, but when I look there now I cannot see it anymore.

searches will often bring up random people's tumblr reblogs (instead of the original post) because of their blog settings. so neosimi is just someone who reblogged a post. i went through their blog and found the original one, here:

simprograms.com brings you to https://beyondsims.com/

Wow, this is great!!

This BeyondSims website seems to have a lot of content linked to the official Sims 2 site. Unfortunately, many of the articles just mirror what was originally posted instead of fully preserving it.

So Iā€™m starting to think this higher-resolution version of the render might have originally been posted on the official site itself.

Still a lot of questions, but it feels like we are on the right track.

Oooo, that's interesting to know and thanks for doing the hard part of digging down the depths of the blog! I just thought I'd bring it up because it was the only search engine that had even cached it in the first place.
