Stuff packs are minor expansion packs for The Sims 2 that add new items, clothing, and furniture to the game without implementing any significant changes to gameplay.

Stuff packs

Holiday Party Pack

The Sims 2: Holiday Party Pack (known as The Sims 2: Christmas Party Pack in the UK and Ireland) is considered as the pilot release of stuff packs for The Sims 2. It offers only the new content made available in the 2005 version of the Holiday Edition to players who already owned a copy of the core game. The content from this pack is expanded with twenty new additional items in the third stuff pack The Sims 2: Happy Holiday Stuff. It includes things like Christmas, Hannukah, Halloween, New Year, and Baby New Year. It includes 45 items.

Family Fun Stuff

The Sims 2: Family Fun Stuff is the first release officially published under the The Sims 2 "stuff pack" line of products, and was released on April 13, 2006 for PC and on April 30, 2007 for Mac. This pack adds gameplay elements introduced in previous expansion packs and mainly focuses on objects for Sim children's bedrooms including medieval and underwater themed bedroom sets. Also included is a nautical themed living room set. New outfits and costumes are available for every age group.[5] The Sims 2: Family Fun Stuff also includes three new pre-made houses and several new songs under the "Pop" category performed by the band Barenaked Ladies. It includes 42 items and is the only stuff pack with an available update patch.

Glamour Life Stuff

The Sims 2: Glamour Life Stuff is the second "stuff pack" for The Sims 2. It was officially announced on July 13, 2006 and was released on August 31, 2006. As the title suggests, this pack focuses on "the glamorous life", and adds a series of new objects, clothing, and wall/floor textures relating to the glamorous lifestyle.[6] The pack also includes two pre-made houses. It includes 33 items.

Happy Holiday Stuff

The Sims 2: Happy Holiday Stuff (The Sims 2: Festive Holiday Stuff in Europe) is an official "stuff pack" that re-packages the content from The Sims 2: Holiday Party Pack with twenty new additional items. It is considered the third "stuff pack" and is available for sale from major video game outlets (unlike Holiday Party Pack, which was only available for purchase via Electronic Arts's online store in the US and as a retail version in the Asia Pacific region). Happy Holiday Stuff adds additional holiday themed content to the game,[7] and was released on November 7, 2006.

A revised edition of The Sims 2: Holiday Edition was released simultaneously with Happy Holiday Stuff; containing the original The Sims 2 game and the Happy Holiday Stuff expansion in one bundle, similar to that of The Sims 2: Holiday Edition released in 2005.

On October 24, 2006, EA announced a special mini version of this pack titled The Sims 2: Happy Holiday Mini Pack.[7] The mini pack was targeted specially at owners of the previous releases of Holiday Edition and Holiday Party Pack and includes the twenty new items not included in those releases.

The Happy Holiday Stuff pack is the first and only Sims 2 game or expansion that does not use a key to unlock the installation. It includes 63 items including 18 new items from The Sims 2: Happy Holiday Mini Pack.

Celebration! Stuff

The Sims 2: Celebration! Stuff is the fourth "stuff pack" to be released by EA. The first official confirmation of the Celebration Stuff Pack came in the form of a flyer that was shipped with the The Sims 2: Seasons expansion pack. The game was released on April 3, 2007 and features new collections of furniture and outfits for weddings and fiestas.[8] The pack also includes two pre-made houses. It includes 54 items. Celebration! Stuff is now included into the double deluxe edition of The Sims 2 core game and The Sims 2: Nightlife expansion pack.

H&M Fashion Stuff

The Sims 2: H&M Fashion Stuff (known as The Sims 2: Fashion Stuff in Australia and New Zealand) was announced as the fifth stuff pack on the official website on April 25, 2007, and was released on June 5, 2007. Based on the real-world clothing company H&M, the pack includes H&M clothing collections for men and women. The pack adds songs by Jibbs, Keke Palmer, Kevin Michael, and NLT to the Pop and Hip Hop stations. The "stuff pack" also comes with three pre-made H&M stores.[9] It includes 61 items.
