Do you expect something for the 20th anniversary?

Question, what exactly is in the patch?

Also if anyone would like a copy of TS2:

Wait, they're giving away ONE copy? They gave it away for free to anyone who asked back when they shut down support. Officially for a few weeks, but people were getting it free for the cost of a call to CS for a long time. Does that mean they're going to start supporting it again? Or are they planning on adding it to their vault or selling it?

Oh gah, that actually is insulting.

That's not "The Sims" though. Pretty sure Simperium has nothing to do with EA or Maxis, it's a completely separate entity and they likely only have whatever codes leftover from whatever Maxis had given them before or they've purchased before and held on until now. You can't really compare what they are doing and condemn them for having just one copy left ;) Now if this were Maxis/EA then they would have the power absolutely to open this up to a lot more people and only giving out one would be upsetting.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up -- I should have paid attention to the source of the tweet. Well, it does do at least someone a little good to have the Sims 2 as opposed to the code sitting unused.

You know, I wonder if that would have been a good gift -- reopening up that giveaway. Maybe a Sims 3 giveaway (base game plus a couple of packs) as well as a 75% off, limited to two packs, store sale. The Sims 2 probably would cost them a little bandwidth, the Sims 3 would give them more store customers, and the 75% off sale would make Sims 4 people happy.

I would have loved that! I missed the last time getting TS2 and I hate that I've lost it forever. :'( I would pay for it, even though I bought it and most expansions before.

The Sims 3 having a sale or give away would have been nice too. I have most of those but a lot don't and would benefit from this. This whole anniversary fell kind of short. They completely forgot that 1, 2 and 3 existed and that 4 wouldn't even be here today if it wasn't for them.

They did say on twitter that they were giving out hundreds of free packs on origin from people's wishlist a few days ago, but I've yet to see a single person say that they've got one so I don't know if that's done yet?

It still would have been nice to see the older games honoured in some way though, they were the biggest part of that last 20 years.
