The Sims 3 as education material in Dutch schools

This press release was sent by EA Nederland a few day’s ago and we translated it for our international The Sims community friends.

It is about the ‘secret’ Custom Content project of EA Nederland which was worked on by four Dutch Custom Content makers for months.

Three Custom Content makers are from The Sims Resource  (Angela, Anja and Gea) and the fourth one is our own teammember Kyta.

We hope we can provide more information soon.

Dear fansite,
Today it is finally happening: EA reveals the project where they have been working on these last couple of months with the most creative builders of the community. I would like to specially thank Angela, Anja, Kyta and Gea.
