Sims 2 ultimate collection MIGHT be coming back to Origin

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'd genuinely pay to play the Sims 2 again. It was so good : '( I miss all the quirks like the TV randomly falling off the wall, the sim you just dated showing up at night with roses at your door... Too bad

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?

Have the double deluxe edition too, and when they had a special give away of Sims 2 UC was fortunate enough to get that. But I wish they'd just let things be and let the games expire on their own. Have some of the disks and my computer has a disk player but it won't install because Origin keeps popping up. This is new because it used to install at least about a year or 2 back. All of their games will be online, that is the direction they are going in, but it presents a new set of problems that are harder to fix because we didn't write the software Origin, and all the games have to go through that first.
If we get Origin fixed then we have to fix the problems with the game. It can be overwhelming, and its really troublesome when you know you have this game here, you spent money on, but you can't play it because there is problems with this other software or there are problems with the computer system.
With having the game on Origin platform the towns and public places we made with the game on disk are not compatible with the game on Origin, so the player has to start all over.

Hi :)

I have no problem playing my lots/Sims made with the original game disks from ages ago and the origin UC game. I'm sorry to hear you're having problems. :(

@DevSims91 Agreed. The Stories games were a blast. I've played them multiple times. I was excited to find Sims 2 compatible recreations of the Stories' neighborhoods on Mod the Sims. There's no story function to them though.
