Issue 27 hits the streets

Summer has arrived, and with it came our new issue. We focused on ecological themes and green buildings and tips. It´s all about ecology, education and awareness this time – from building, decorating and gardening – followed by our tips for your better pictures. Of course, we didn’t forget to feature the winners of Sims Next Door, as well as the winner of DOTY@BPS.
We were short handed this issue, and that means we worked twice as hard to give you this issue! We hope you will like all we had prepared for you!

If you have any feedback for us, we would love to hear it – comment on this post or here on the forum
