I have spoken to EA Support and they suggested to create a discussion here regarding getting a Mac compatible version of Sims , there are two versions of this game; Ultimate and Legacy, at least one of them should be able to run on a Mac. Please comment, like, and express your views so we can at least try to show how many people feel the same way.

I do everything else on my Mac, but have always had to have a Windows machine or a Windows partition to play Sims 2. I've always wished I could play it natively on my Mac. Technically you can if you get the Super Collection (assuming it's still available). But it doesn't have all the packs because Aspyr never finished porting Sims 2 over for Mac. I've always wondered why. Did the relationship between EA and Aspyr sour for some reason? Even if you go that route, it has no support (like Ultimate Collection) so you are on your own, even more than with Legacy, if issues crop up.
Sadly, it's unlikely they will ever allow someone to finish it or do it themselves. A girl can dream though. I mean, I never thought they'd update and sell Sims 1 and 2 either, especially after giving Sims 2 away for free. And yet, they did.

that would be nice, but I don't think the Legacy Collection will ever be available for MacOS. A Mac version would mean that the game would also have to be compatible with Apple's M chips, and the effort would probably not be worth it because only a small portion of the Sims 2 community plays on Mac. So far, there is the Super Collection from Aspyr. And you can also install Sims 2 on a Mac via a virtual Windows environment, but only with Intel CPUs!
