For example, I have no complaints in the actual stuff department. All the objects are rendered beautifully, and with the exception of the bathroom and the kitchen, you can decorate an entire house using just IKEA products. As a matter of fact, all three houses featured in the screenshots only use IKEA stuff (minus the bathroom and kitchen). The only exception to my design was the outside decorations like the white picket fence, and the stone driveway featured with one of the houses.
Honestly, I think that the only reason we do not see any kitchen or bathroom appliances in the IKEA expansion pack is because the Sims 2 already has a kitchen and bathroom expansion pack and EA doesn’t want the sales of that pack to go down. The only problem with the graphics is the 55 wall paint and flooring designs. In my opinion, about 75% of them are for the lack of a better word, lame. But there are a few in the 55 that are worth applying to your home. You be the judge. However, considering that until this expansion pack I was not aware of IKEA, my taste in decoration is probably not that good.
Overall, the game scores an 86 out of 100 from Gameprye (http://www.gamepyre.com/reviewsd.html?aid=991&p=1)
