Funny, but I hope it doesn't catch on. This genre of games is rather free from ads and the last thing we need is corporations shoving their marketing agenda into classics.
One of the known bugs in skyrim that will likely never be patched is that you realistically can't fill a room with cheese wheels, cabbage, bottles of wine or any other static objects (in a cell that persists items, like in an owned house). It's already hard enough to put an object on a table or shelf and expect to not find it on the floor if you leave and come back.
Add enough objects to keep track of and it'll crash the game immediately on loading the cell. Some of the examples of cluttered objects in the video are already pushing the limits of what will crash the game engine.
I normally dislike shameless brand crossovers, but this faux low-budget, yet-another-janky-mod vibe... they committed to the bit. I can't hate it.

They should call it "Bagaget" which translates to "The Luggage" and put lots of small feet under it. Those who read Discworld will know what I'm talking about.
Pure marketing genius
Best thing I saw on hacker news in a while.
I wanted to install it, but the instructions were just a bunch of pictures.
The concept reminds of Chex Quest, a Doom total conversion based on Chex, the cereal brand.
I loved playing it when I was 8 or so.
Chex Quest was really good, wasn't it!? I was so impressed. Today I learned, it is known for having been the first video game ever to be included as a cereal box prize.
I like the attention to detail with the Todd Howard reference:
> Become encumbered in-game to start your quest to storage bliss! It just works.
> Will there be meatballs?
> Maybe.
I watched a bit of someone's play through and was impressed by how much content there actually was for a one-off bit like this. I would have assumed they would have just made enough content to make for a funny ad but there's quite a lot of scripted storyline and voice acting.
I mean, they even recreated an IKEA inside a dungeon and you have to navigate it and get the part to build your Kallax
IKEA is known for going the extra skogsmil in whatever they do.
Especially logging in old-growth forests.
(skogsmil = forest miles)
Do you think someone at IKEA had the idea and they hired someone to do it, or did someone have the idea and made it, and then talked IKEA into making it official?
The idea has been conceived and executed by creative agency Mother, in partnership with Kinggath Creations - a team of creatives, fans and mod developers who make fun and original content that blends seamlessly into the game world.

It is likely they had the idea they (the people that actually made the mod) could talk a brand into this and IKEA was one of the many brands pitched. But someone at IKEA has to have seen this and say okay this makes sense for it work obviously. Eitherway i would say it doesn't really matter as long as they do fun stuff like this
Play a game long enough and the main challenge becomes inventory management. I look forward to the IVAR update.
Casting Leomund’s Secret Chest, now comes with TROFAST modular storage management system.
Oh, so you're team IVAR?
BILLY gang forever!
(just kidding, I actually have both, and way more IVAR shelves than BILLYs at that(BILLIES? What would be the proper plural here?))
Billipodes. Obviously.
Just a reminder that they are a corporation and to not fall for their PR. They are actively destroying the environment while paying as little tax as possible. The cheapness of their furniture does have externalities one needs to consider.
At this point their products have so little material that it may be better for the environment to buy an IKEA one vs decent furniture (from the standpoint of caring for the environment)
Is that Matt Berry!?
Unmistakably so.
I heard this in his voice.
I was wondering what compelled Bethesda to update the game a few weeks ago, the first time in two years. On PC, any update to the game breaks mods that rely on DLL modification, so you'd expect them to be wary of doing it for no reason. Maybe improving support for this was the impetus.
>so you'd expect them to be wary of doing it for no reason
average skyrim patch notes:
- added no features
- fixed no bugs
- moved around some buttons in the paid mods menu
They needed to do a few nerfs and buffs to the other storage solutions to balance the game for the introduction of KALLAX
Is this Skyrim Special Edition or the Legendary Edition?
Skyrim Legendary Special Edition HD.
Is it April yet?
No it's 9/12
9/12 = 3/4, so it is April?
It's not December yet?
I agree with the spirit of your comment. 20261209 Is a much better way to express the date than the 9/12 Americanism.
Year, day, month in that order written all together? I have seen both day-month-year (12-09-2026) and year-month-day (2026-09-12), but _that_'s a new one.
