Is the Sims 2 still available?

TS2 is the best honestly.

I actually found out that a lot of interesting features were in the Sims 2, and I really would like to check it out, as it looks awesome from the videos I have seen. But I'm not sure if it's still available. It's not on Origin anymore, at least. If it is available somewhere, could someone please tell me? Also, will it work on my computer?

Your best bet is buying Sims 2 from amazon. Then get into support and give them the product key.

Well, looking at your computer from here... I'll say yes, it will work. :)

You can try asking EA for the ultimate collection ( Base game and all EP'S and stuff packs) instructions here, http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/814708/how-to-get-ts2-ultimate-collection-windows/p1 First post. They may ask for a code, some do, some don't. You might get extra lucky tis the season after all... but if you try a handful of times and don't get anyone to put it in your account, grab any game, base game or expansion, and give them the code for it.

:D :D :D LOL!!! @jamiehood We have no idea what your computer specs are.. but I would think it is safe to say so long as your computer was made sometime in the last decade....it will most likely be fine. You will probably have to run the graphic rules to get it to recognize your video card, other then that, no issues. :)

@JULES1111 Ok, Sorry, I just wasn't sure, as I've tried some old applications that haven't worked on my computer. But I will try to ask for the ultimate collection, thank you very much

@jamiehood If you have trouble running TS2 (or any other older programs) on your computer and your OS is Windows 10, 8.1, or 8, you can always right click on the icon on your desktop, go to "Troubleshoot Compatibility", and put it in Windows 7 or Windows XP compatibility mode. Also, running the game as an administrator helps too.

In regard with computer specs: while @JULES1111 is right about it probably being able to run the game, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will run on max settings (that will be probably the default). For example, I have two graphics cards in my laptop, one of them being an Intel HD 4400. And it is unable to render water properly on high settings. Now, I'm not saying that you should turn everything to the bare minimum the second you see something wrong, but keep an eye on these kind of things. (Except when you'll see the black squares, but that's another story)
Other than that, merry Christmas and happy simming :)

As far as I know @jamiehood the only free way of obtaining The Sims 2 for PC, was downloading the The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection on Origin which unfortunately isn't available anymore. You can however still order The Sims 2 for PC online, you'll have to pay for it of course.

@jamiehood I would try contacting EA first before you buy anything. As others have said, if one advisor says no, try another.

EA is still giving it away. It just depends on the advisor you talk to. I know someone who got it this past Tuesday evening with no issues.

Good luck!
