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 & Ireland) is considered as the first stuff pack released for The Sims 2. It offered 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, along with twenty new additional items, is also made available through the stuff pack The Sims 2: Happy Holiday Stuff.

Family Fun Stuff

The Sims 2: Family Fun Stuff is the second "stuff pack" for The Sims 2, 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.

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.
