Hi, as of right now the only PC sims game I've played is TS4. I've seen a few lets plays of TS2 and I would love to play it on my new PC but I have no idea where I would go about getting it. Does anyone know? Thanks.

You could try looking through (online) stores for secondhand copies and try to get a bargain. There used to be a way to receive the Ultimate Collection (all EP's and SP's) for free here, but that deal has expired now, kind of a shame that happened. :/Or, if you have a Mac, you can purchase a Mac-specific compilation (I believe Super Collection). Not all packs, but it's compatible.

Best bet at this point is look on Ebay and buy second hand copies. The bad thing about that though is they are pricey (I've seen the complete collection for 100+ dollars), and a lot of times a disc or two is missing, and to top it off if you are on, say Windows 10, the disc version of The Sims 2 you system and settings can possibly require some tweaking to get to work. Honestly, unless you are desperate I would just wait. I'm sure some day Origin will re-release the games. No game as popular or financing successful remains 'out of print' forever. It might take 5+ years but I would bet my bottom dollar TS2 will rear its beautiful head once more on a digital format with full compatibility for the (then) current windows.

Since EA doesn't want to give The Sims 2: Ultimate Edition away for free anymore, they should sell it for $5-$10 USD on Origin or other services. Come on EA loads of people still want The Sims 2 and you can make some scratch too.

I think second hand is the way to go for a PC. If anyone reading this has a Mac, you can get the Super Collection on the app store, which has mot expansion packs, but only a stuff packs.

I have all the CD's of everything of The Sims 2, but, it doesn't work on any Windows newer than Vista, so don't waste your money on buying the CD's! Now I got my downloaded free version when I contacted EA about a problem I was having getting back on Origin, I just brought it up to the nice lady I was chatting with online and she asked me if I have at least the base game activation code, and I did, so I gave it to her and she gave me the game, added it to my library! And that was at the beginning of this year! I thought I had totally missed it, but I guess it depends on if you get lucky and talk to the right person from EA! But if you want to see if you can play them somehow or see if you can get the free download, here's a link to what I found on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=The+Sims+2+basegame&_sacat=45100 They aren't really expensive either! Good luck, and Happy Simming!Okay, for some reason the link keep changing, so it wont let me put a direct link, but just search for The Sims 2 Basegame and you will find a few!

I just talked to one of their agents over chat because I wanted to know if there was anyway to redeem my sims 2 product codes through origin because my pc won't read the discs and they said that a LOT of people are still asking for or about sims 2. so i think there is hope that they migh bring it back, for a limited time anyway, like maybe the 20th anniversary.

I think they should make it available for purchase. I can't understand why they don't.

I heard that EA don't want to make it available for purchase because they would have to support it but then I would happily agree to buy ultimate collection unsupported.

I guess that makes sense. But like you said, I think most people would still purchase it without the promise of support.
