This content pack, released in 2007 for PC, focuses on bringing the world of fashion and retail to your Sims' lives. It is an add-on that requires the base game, The Sims 2, to play. The pack introduces new cosmetic and functional items centered around the H&M brand, allowing players to expand their Sims' wardrobes and engage in new retail-themed activities.

What does this pack add to The Sims 2?

The core of this add-on lies in its extensive collection of new clothing and accessories for your Sims, all inspired by real-world H&M designs. Players can expect a variety of contemporary fashion essentials for both male and female Sims, ranging from casual wear to more striking outfits. Beyond personal style, the pack also introduces elements for creating and managing a virtual H&M store. This includes new build and buy mode items such as mannequins, clothing racks, cash registers, and fitting rooms, enabling players to design and decorate their own retail spaces.

New Gameplay Opportunities

A key feature introduced is the ability to design and utilize a fashion runway. This allows Sims to showcase their newly acquired outfits in a stylized manner, adding a new dimension to social interactions and personal expression within the game. The pack encourages players to engage with the fashion industry by designing their own stores and presenting collections, offering a more focused simulation of retail and style.

Integration with The Sims 2

This is a "Stuff Pack," meaning its primary contribution is new items and objects rather than entirely new gameplay mechanics or storylines. It seamlessly integrates with the existing gameplay of The Sims 2, enhancing the customization and role-playing possibilities. The new fashion items and store-building components are accessible within the standard game interface, allowing players to incorporate them into their existing Sims' lives and neighborhoods.

Scope and Content

As a Stuff Pack, its scope is focused on adding cosmetic and decorative content. It does not introduce new Sims, careers, or major plotlines. The quality and quantity of the items are comparable to other Stuff Packs released for The Sims 2, providing a substantial collection of fashion and retail-themed assets. There are no additional DLCs, expansions, remakes, or remasters associated with this specific pack.

What are the core features of this fashion-themed add-on?

The primary appeal of this pack revolves around expanding Sims' wardrobes with trendy, real-world inspired clothing and providing the tools to design and operate a virtual fashion boutique. The inclusion of a fashion runway offers a unique way for Sims to express their style and for players to create visual showcases.
