H&M Fashions for Sale in The Sims 2

-Here's a virtual item set most people are buying in a retail box - it's in the Top 5 PC charts in both the UK and US on Amazon right now - which is interesting, to say the least!

H&M, a clothing line whose UK success has begun to translate into quick penetration of the American market, has a virtual clothing line for The Sims 2. EA Games' iconic PC life sim will now offer designer H&M fashions that users can purchase as an expansion to the game.

The Sims 2 has no online play mode, of course, but the incredibly successful franchise includes masses of expansion packs that add new options, styles, pets and other accessories. The H&M fashion line, which costs $19.99, is just the latest example of virtual clothing being a big deal to fashion-conscious game players.
