Is the Sims 2 worth buying?

YES! Actually, if you go on the EA website, and go into the live chat, they will sometimes give you the entire collection for free. which happened in my case

It's like a support chat, so you go on there and they'll be like, how can I help you? And I said something like, where can I buy TS2 UC, online and after like 5 mins. he randomly gave me the code for it lol.

I have been thinking of buying Sims 2 but Im wondering if its still a good game in 2015. I have heard very good things about it though :)

YES! It's more than worth buying if you get some trouble setting up the graphics due to the game being a little old here's something that might help :) :

If you aren't so lucky in getting it for free then you only need to purchase one copy of any pack with the code. Follow this thread:

It's a customer service person in a chat box in live time @Karen. And YES Sims 2 is definitely still worth it. It takes a few minutes to get graphics fixed up, but after that it runs beautifully and still has so much quality. It even looks good although the distant view of inactive lots is a bit poor. If the customer service person refuses to give it out try again later. Some will insist the offer is no longer valid, which it officially isn't, but it is definitely possible to still get a code.

I had to go through hellfire and brimstone just to get it on my Origin account when I already had the games in the first place, I just didn't have the physical copies. So my hats go off to anyone who can just talk to them and get it for nothing...

I was lucky extra lucky with the person I got in chat - she' was simmer too :lol: and wound up wanting to chat with me about sims and all the iterations :grin:

Absolutely. 100% the best Sims game yet to date. If you've never played, some limitations may annoy you (they do for me after having so much more stuff in Sims 3) but you will find that you are far more immersed in your Sims lives, they seem like their own little people. It's far simpler in scope, but so much more detailed. It's hard to explain it. You will miss the loads of content in Sims 3 because of the store, but the content you do have in game is work to achieve, but rewarding and gives you countless hours of fun.

Now mind you I played Sims 2 since release day, but since the announcement of Sims 4 Get To Work I've had PEPS for Sims 2 open for business; and so I been playing heavy because of it - and I have not loaded up Sims 3 in a very long time. Prob like January time. I'm just so into my Sims 2 game again. I'm going to do some simming tonight and I wanna play 3 because I have so much more I wanna do, but Sims 2 is just such a worry free game. I feel like even with 4 mods I'm constantly on guard in Sims 3. LOL

Off to one of the Sims games! I'll decide when I bring up my desktop. Watch it end up being SimCity. (been wanting to...)

From the Netherlands so excuses my poor English :)Do to reading on the USA forum i got really cuious about the Sims 2. The most simmers talk about how great the Sims 2 serie is. I wanted to try out the Sims 2 with all the packs. I missed the change to get the Sims2 UC for free due to my newborn baby. Did not had time to go online

Almost bought sims 2 collection second hand for €45,- but after reading some tips on the forum i started a chat with EA and asked for it. I didn't get it :'( , only 15% off on my next purchase. I had a chat with USA customservice. So i took a change and called the Dutch customservice. I explained the situation. Because i have all the Sims 3 stuff and all de Sims 4 stuff the nice guy from costumservice gave me the UC for free. Because i'm clearly a big Sims fan ;) .

I started to play sims 3 in 2009 and was hooked. I played the Sims 4 for about 100 hours. I could only play because i choose to play a legacy(diffrence in the familytree). otherwise i was really bored. I'm going to install the UC and give Sims 2 a try.
Now busy uninstalling all my Sims 3 games before downloading UC. My pc is not that new, 2012 HP Windows 7. Wish me luck
