The sims 2 still works wonderfully on modern PCs especially with programs like graphics rule make and the 4 GB fix Therefore I think EA should release the sims 2 UC and make it buyable for all who weren’t lucky to get it during the promotion. They could also release it on Good old games GOG instead which is known for releasing old games with community programs to help it run in newer machines.Many people love the sims 2 and without changing much you can have the game run in 1920 x 1080 resolution (which the game supports natively) and working on windows 10 with modern graphics cards. It would literally take EA an hour or less to repackage the sims 2 with basic fixes like enabling higher screen resolutions, making the game use more than 2gb memory and having the game recognize new graphics cards (like the graphics rule maker)They could easily sell it for $49 or more and people would buy it

I agree. The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection should return.After all, this statement felt really off...What other ways can I play The Sims?You can get The Sims 3 or 4 through Origin, or grab The Sims 4 on Xbox One or PlayStation 4. Or access both games through the Vault for Origin Access. To play on the go, check out The Sims Mobile.Every The Sims game has a different feel, different experience, different look. Playing The Sims 3 isn't as same as The Sims 2. The Sims 2 has unique features like aspiration bar, apartments that house up to 4 families and can be built (albeit with cheats), turn-ons and turn-offs etc. Sometimes players want to specifically play The Sims 2, because The Sims 3 and 4 are either unappealing or have a lot of bugs. And The Sims Mobile is a freemium game with many features from the main series missing (needs, ability to pause and speed up time, skills etc).Thus my conclusion is that it should return. If EA makes it cost some money, people will buy it, thus it is a great way of making money. Even Nintendo had Virtual Console on Wii, Wii U and 3DS, where people can buy old games from old consoles. Nostalgia sells! And it sells well!

i feel like they should remaster it. just give it support for newer devices and fix the issues they left out especially issues which can corrupt ur game and rerelease it. i dont think the sims 2 needs any graphical update or stuff like that. imo it would ruin the look and feelv of the sims 2 although i would love if they give us the option to choose the same graphics as they had in the beta those look rlly nice

I'd buy this in a second. I think they're missing out on a big market by not doing this. I'd also like to see the Sims 1 return too. I'd pay for both!

i think they should definitely remaster both sims 2 and 3. theyre both great games in thier own right and has basically what feels like a a enedless amount of content in them

I meant ultimate edition, sorry. Typed that at night. Anyway, what I don't get is why it was removed from origin in the first place? I see sims 4 and 3, but no seems 2 which is really frustrating. I don't want the newer versions as much as the old ones, since I never got a chance to play sims 2 ultimate edition for pc. Not until recently when my sister let me borrow her game for a bit today.

EA should release the sims 2 ultimate collection to buy!

If they ever sell it, I feel that they should update some of the graphics, but keep the game the same. I missed out on the Ultimate Collection, but I am only missing a couple stuff packs that were released at the tail end the series. I would buy it in a heartbeat.

I was fortunate enough to be able to get UC but still whole heartedly agree with this. It's not perfect, but a great game that everyone should have a chance to get, play, and enjoy.

They don't offer it anymore because they don't want to support it anymore in case it breaks or bugs out or whatever. They need the space on servers to offer answers how to fix your games on more current games like TS3 and TS4. If TS2 was still selling as much as TS3, they might want more server space and dedicated person to fixing problems in the games (I mean crashes, tech stuff etc.) but since TS3 still sells as much as TS4 packs, sometimes, then I guess they need to have customer support work on any tech crashes and the canned responses of how to fix those things in TS3 rather than waste money on telling people how to do those canned responses for TS2.

But they have the forums for windows 7/10 fixes, I don't see why they can't just put up as FAQ and link it to that post in forums. https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/852182/the-sims-2-windows-7-10-fixes#latest
I fixed my issues because of that post, so I don't see why they can't sell Sims 2 Ultimate Edition with so many helpful information here.
I even bookmarked this for later just in case I have problems again.

If they do, they should edit it so that it includes the Store Edition. I haven't been able to use my old neighbourhoods in years, and even after I found a copy Fun with Pets, the disc simply doesn't contain the EP99 folder.
