Cyberpunk - William Gibson style

These are all awesome. Thanks for the links!

Cool. I had a bit of a poke around myself.
Alien Build Mode
The Marauder spaceship to live in
Themed safety walls and floors
The Borg Collection
Kamino Research Lab
NewTokyo is cool but is too big and aged for the look I'm after.
The hood has had sims dropping in for hundreds of years but is still not too dense, people tend to spread out a bit. Many of the lots will be fairly high tech from recently landed sims who have cannibalised their spaceships, the low tech grungy lots - as someone mentioned - would be sims who have been there sometime and are reduced to scavenging in the urban areas or living off the desert landscape.
I have the 8DS grunge stuff and will get the simwardrobe food replicator and weaponry. This is a hood with zombies so I can play with the zombie apocalypse hack. I am building a zombie maul and Assmitten will be the vampire in charge of this.
Now I'm off to check the new links. Cheers.

But would William Gibson's cyberpunk world REALLY look much different from the world as it exists now?
I just finished "Pattern Recognition" and it's set in the here and now...
And I remember a lot of the descriptions of clothing in the Neuromancer/Count Zero/Mona Lisa Overdrive series as being t-shirts and jeans... so Maxian wardrobe would actually fit right in there (ugh)...save for the chick with the nails...and someone can tell her name, I can't find my copies, must still be packed in a box somewhere, and obviously it's time for me to find them and read them again...
Edited to add that the first thing I thought of when I saw 'Steampunk Victorian' is "The Difference Engine"

Based on Gibson's novels, the world may not look that much different, but there's still a wealth of reference material out there influenced from his stuff where there is a very distinct look. Cyberpunk in most visual media (comics, rpg artwork, movies, etc.) has a very gritty, super modern feel to it.

So maybe it's not so much 'William Gibson Style' as it is 'William Gibson Influenced'?
I haven't read any graphic novels - too Farenheit 451 for me, I guess.
Have read most of Gibson's work, and Sterling's, and then there's my favorite - feminist sci-fi authors..Tepper and the late Octavia Butler...but that's a completely different genre.
