I tried to start this project myself, but alas, I got nowhere. :(

I would really love to transfer my Sims PC games into DVD cases but there are no good covers anywhere. I decided I could try to tackle this myself, but my skill with photoshop is extremely basic and I didn't get very far at all. Furthermore, I no longer have the original boxes (only jewel cases) and there is surprisingly little available online. I did infer that the games were released in other regions (mostly non-English) in DVD cases, both the standard size as well as the thicker kind that were being used a few years back, but the only scans I saw were low quality. Nonetheless, I uploaded a zip of the files I gathered:

There are a handful of images that I think are usable, but most are not; I kept them just for reference as to correct coloration, what the images SHOULD look like (but larger) etc.

some notes about the art:

Livin' It Up and On Holiday are international titles of Livin' Large and Vacation (preferred)
House Party and Hot Date later releases had different (and also preferable) cover art (more consistent with the later EPs)
The spines of dvd cases would *ideally* read, in logos (as opposed to a generic font): "The Sims (Expansion Title)" as the thick dvd cases (and i believe the boxes) did

I know that this is a complex and large request, especially coming from a newbie with 0 posts, so I hope this post isn't coming across pushy. This is just something I would enjoy that I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask about. I've been wanting to cover my old games for YEARS (ever since the project first began, really) but never had the time/resources til recently but I think I'm finally going to be able to get around to it. Hopefully I will be able to contribute soon. Thanks for reading!
