"Steampunk is a subgenre of fantasy and speculative fiction that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often set in Victorian era England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date. Other examples of steampunk contain alternate history-style presentations of "the path not taken" of such technology as dirigibles or analog computers; these frequently are presented in an idealized light, or a presumption of functionality."

This is the effort to compile an easy to navigate directory off all the specifically Steampunk sims 2 content, as well as anything else that can be blagged as 'steamy'.

24/05/09 - I actually though nobody noticed I've been neglecting this wiki. I was wrong, and am feeling both ashamed and delighted for it. Click here to see my deserved public shaming. Now I am making a promise to myself and the wiki users to try and update at least once a week. Exams are almost over, and a I have a long summer stretch with no excuse to be so lax. Any and all help in locating goodies is truely appreciated. I'm off to add stuff to various categories as we speak, so to speak. Also, trying to avoid updating with stuff that merely works in a Steamy hood rather than being (even loosely) Steampunk - just to make it easier for me. Maybe I should look into linking other CC lists that would work well in conjunction..
