I’m not surprised, it’s a great game
It will be a sad day when I can no longer play Sims 2, even if you can get your PC to play the game smoothly which not every body can EA and Origin are trying to faze it out... But they will have to kill me before they get my copy and if that day comes my ghost will play the game on his Mac.
It’s not just nostalgia for me, it’s honestly the best made in the sims series... I’m having a ball playing it and getting new custom content/default replacements for it.
