How can you tell??
I just uploaded some office furniture. I knew for sure that the chair was from Free Time, but the desk? It did look like the desk from Free Time, but it was also identical to IKEA design (I know this for sure, as my son has that exact desk!). Where to check for this? No pictures whatsoever in the Free Time leaflet. The EA Sims 2 site does have pictures from the IKEA stuff, and the desk was not among them. But then it says "here are SOME items from the game..." I tried to check out the page here on TSR, but it did not download completely, and besides, it only has objects from the expansion packs, not from the stuff packs. ARGGG!! I looked at desks in the downloads section and thought I found the desk I used, and it said "Free Time". OK, I settled for this. Free Time it is. Or so I thought...
After uploading, I played the game for a while. And realized that the desk MUST be from IKEA, after all...!! So I checked the IKEA leaflet, and there it was... Why, oh why didn't I start by looking there?!
A quick revision of my previews and the file names. But the idea behind the set backfired, as the chair and the desk were supposed to be from the same expansion. Now they are not. And hey! why can you not choose the IKEA stuff when reporting for expansions pack required?!
