IKEA made a mod for Skyrim [video]

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.

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?

Play a game long enough and the main challenge becomes inventory management. I look forward to the IVAR update.

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.

They needed to do a few nerfs and buffs to the other storage solutions to balance the game for the introduction of KALLAX
