The Sims hit IKEA

Though the countdown to The Sims 3 is undoubtedly running through the minds of the series’ fans, EA won’t allow The Sims 2 to be forgotten. Another The Sims 2 stuff pack has officially been announced – The Sims 2: IKEA Home Stuff. For those who are new Sims fans, or are simply unaware of the series, the stuff packs aren’t really expansion packs. They add no new interactions, neighborhoods or abilities. Instead, they contain a handful of extra furniture, clothing, building materials or hairstyles for the game.

This isn’t the first time a Sims 2 stuff pack related to a store has been released. The Sims 2: H&M Stuff was released on June 5, 2007, and contained H&M clothes and items that would allow you to create an H&M store in your game. The Sims 2: IKEA Stuff will focus on IKEA furniture and accessories. It will be in stores on June 23, 2008 and will cost $19.99, like all previous stuff packs.
