@Kappose You're not misunderstanding; Sims 2 is no longer available through Origin, for free or otherwise. The game can still be purchased for mac OS through the app store, but that's probably not the solution you're looking for.
Wait, it's available for mac only? Why?
@Kappose The mac version is offered through Apple's App Store, and it's still there as of just now. It doesn't include all of the packs, as I think the last ones weren't ported over to mac OS. The Ultimate Collection was pulled in October, but that was specific to Origin. I don't know what the terms of Apple's distribution deal are or were (or the deal with Aspyr, which ported TS2 and TS1 into mac OS), but perhaps the deal allows the app store to continue to offer the game.
However, unlike TS3, there are separate versions for Windows and mac OS, so there's no way you could run the mac version in Windows.
