Cyberpunk - William Gibson style
witch:
My new hood is based on a sci fi theme, it's the place that sims end up if they get dumped out of the local wormhole they're riding. There is no return to the rest of the universe and the the place is populated by many and various aliens and sims.
I want a cyberpunk theme and have been collecting bits and pieces along the way to use as clothing, furnishing and props.
I saw the steampunk thread and thought, why not ask if anyone knows any good cyberpunk links as well. I will also check out the steampunk links in case there's some crossover.
So, where's the good cyberpunk?!? Please. :)

By cyberpunk do you mean a sort of industrial post-apocalyptic theme a la Mad Max?
Edit: Nevermind. I think I get it now.

i saw some stuff over at mts2 & insim while I was trolling for steampunk. Much of it reminds me a bit of shadowrun/william gibson style cyberpunk. Definitely check out the goth-punk clothing over at mts2 for that sort of thing.

I know I was kind of going 'but but but, steampunk, not cyberpunk. Damn! when i saw them.

Ooh, sounds interesting. I've always thought that Bladerunner came pretty close to visualising William Gibson's world. Or should that be vice-versa as the film was first? A mix of shiny hi-tech and grungy low-tech would probably work best.
Olemantiker's offerings on Insim, especially the 'Factory' set would be perfect and he's got a new Space Centre which could probably be used direct or bastardised for your purposes. Cylonesue over on TSR has also got several series of items that could be used (Construction Industry, Urban Renewal, Eon's Oddyssey etc). I'd also do a general search for Matrix creations - a lot of the fashions would be suitable and someone has done the twins on MTS2.
I'd love to see some screenshots of what you come up with as I'm a big fan of the genre. I used to play the Cyberpunk 2020 RPG a lot and there's plenty of associated websites that might give you more ideas.

I also found this over at mts2. It's very gritty. I love it, but alas, not quite right for steampunk. http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=39046
