If Ikea were smart, they would give it away and make it the best in game stuff and use it as an ad for their real life business. Of course marketing would ruin it and slap giant Ikea labels on everything and thus no one would use it. But if it were done tastefully - if you could browse the real Ikea stuff in the sims (but have access to fantasy stuff too) - it could rock. I don't know maybe companies already do this in the sims.

That's more of a Secondlife thing from what I understand...but I've never played it.

And you still have spare parts with no purpose and vital parts not included! (Though I hear the meatballs kick ***).


Those meatballs are indeed pretty darn good. A lot better than their furniture, although most of it is pretty easy to construct.

Never buy an Expedit bookcase though, it took me three hours and a lot of heartburn to create that awful piece of furniture, does look good though.

Here's a thought, don't play video games. I mean it's the summer for Christs sake. Now I can understand in the dead of winter but come on people.
