Always Sims 2 (moved to Tumblr)

Hi friends!  It's been a long time since I've posted on here as I watched many of the great Sims 2 sites fade away with the great migration of many creators to Sims 3 and 4 content.  But I am INSPIRED!  I've stumbled across a "new to me" site that has some really unique and high quality content.

Always Sims 2 Tumblr has trendy and edgy clothing for male and female adult sims, and loads of great accessories.  Many items are 3t2, which is, of course, awesome.

I'll be doing lots of downloading here in the next few days, I'm sure, and if you haven't taken a peek at their gorgeous stuff, hop over there now!
