I love decorating my Sim houses. I can spend hours tweaking a home to fit the house residents perfectly. There isn't any object in "The Sims 2 IKEA Home Stuff" that I won't use. Something I don't believe I could ever say about a stuff pack before.

IKEA shoppers (and modern design lovers) - there is no doubt you should buy this expansion. Your Sims can have some of the furniture you dream of owning! The larger objects are modeled after actual IKEA furniture, made with the usual Maxis quality. Some of my favorites are the accessories, like the CD rack or the mirror with a few photos stuck on the sides.

Check out the screenshots and know what type of objects you are getting. Big downloaders may already have furniture with a similar style and can skip "The Sims 2 IKEA Home Stuff." This stuff pack, like the others, continues to be a good buy for gamers who don't want to or can't download user creations.
