It's simple.
I installed IKEA before Pets. My game was normal. And as I know, IKEA is NEWER than Pets. But whenever I mount IKEA CD and clicked on IKEA icon, it will say that I'm running the wrong version and have to use the Pets CD instead.
I do what it said.
And the result,the game lost IKEA furnitures. That makes me feel weird. I've tried to uninstall Pets and IKEA, then installed Pets before IKEA. Still, IKEA asks me to mount Pets CD instead. But I know it will cause the game to not recognizing IKEA.
Any help please? :cry:

It is supposed to run from the disc for the EP, not the SP. (The only difference being Mansions and Gardens.) So running from the Pets disc is correct.

Does it uninstall your SP even if you bypass the launcher?

I don't think like Pets needs its launcher to be bypassed. It's for bon voyage and newer EPs. But I'm sure I've bypassed the IKEA launcher. And it works good with OFB, NL, Uni, and base game. The problem shows up with Pets.
There's no info message which told me I've uninstalled IKEA. the IKEA folder was still in the EA Games folder. But the stuffs like the white sofa with a heart-shaped pillow and the others are all gone :(

It's solved. I just need to install Seasons (or maybe, the newer EPs) to run Pets and IKEA together :)
