Sims 2 ultimate collection MIGHT be coming back to Origin

This is an old video. I believe the simgurus confirmed that this isn't happening. Someone in chat support gave misleading information. Sorry - I know this isn't the answer you want.

ohhhh...darn. I was about to say TAKE MY MONEY, PLEEEEZE! but alas...

Well, it does say that they currently have no plans, so not all hope is lost.

A few days ago @EA_Cade confirmed in a post here at the forums that 2 isn't supported anymore. Unfortunatelly :cry:

Sad to hear I'd gladly buy them again if they updated it to work on newer pcs.

It just seems so... evil of them to abandon The Sims 1 and 2.

I wish they add sims 2 and sims 1 too one day, I haven't played them on years, and I would like to play them again

I want to actually buy the sims Life,Pets,Castaway games for my PC like the sims 2 itself I want to support the game itself and the people who made them… I also want actual copies.

I have the "Double Deluxe" collection from 2009; which is on a disk. It worked fine on a refurbished workstation from 2013 running 10 (as well as a laptop from 2011 also running 10--both were originally Windows 7 machines), but any modern PC seems to refuse to want to install software from disks; without work "under the hood". Add in the fact that a lot (if not most) PCs are sold without disk drives these days. I have to use a USB disk drive to run any kind of disk.

Yes, it's an old game. But say $30 vs. probably hundreds of dollars and lots of time and effort trying to track down all the disks is much better in my mind. Plus, this will be $30 in EA's pocket and not the secondary market. Plus, a good chunk of the sales GOG has is older titles. Not to mention, Sim City 2000 is from 1995, which predates the Sims franchise entirely; but is still on Origin. Thus, "It's Old" isn't an excuse at all.

That being said, why not TS1 also?
