Re: The Sims 2 Ultimate/Super Collection for Mac? (and other questions)

Is there going to be a Sims 2 Ultimate Collection for the MAC? I know that Maxis didn't develop it, so it's unlikely, but it'd be neat if they did. I know a lot of MAC users who are pretty bumed out they can't get the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection.

im pretty sure its just for pcs. i just downloaded it and was gonna use bootcamp but i thought it was free and it isnt. so id just download it bc its free and just maybe download it on another computer? or spend the money on bootcamp. ive read that bootcamp causes no probs on your computer. 

It would be really nice if MAC users could get this also!

I'm very displeased that they didn't make this available to Mac customers. Shame on you, EA.

The origninal game was available on disk for Mac OS, it wouldn't be that hard to make it available to us.

Again, shame on you, EA. You said this was available for free for EVERYONE. I feel left out and cheated.

why is the code only for pc and not for mac...I really want to play this game on my mac 🙂.

YES why isn't this available for mac users.....not cool EA. 

EA does not value your business, obviously.  They don't value you as a customer.  You shouldn't stand for it.

Bootcamp is expensive, takes a lot of space and isnt always reliable. 

I used it on my old Mac and had quite a few problems. 

Shame this isnt available for Macs, I was looking forward to playing the Sims again. 

It would be really nice to play this game for Mac because I spent numerous hours in the past playing this game from day to night:catsurprised:. (Although I do have 2 windows laptops (one of them is really messed up and the other is 8 years old but is slow but i used that one more for TS2 back then😕mileysad🙂, I'd rather not play on them or that one)

But EA MAYBE isn'tletting this game for Mac users play this game because the original TS2 (by EA)  was made only on Windows. Another company by the name of Aspyr has converted TS2 files to be compatible with Mac (although the game costed more for Mac) which is why you may see that others have played TS2 for Mac.

Even if EA made this game Mac compatible, you would've only got to play majority of the expansion packs that aspyr made (uninversity-bon voyage *NOT including any stuff packs since they didnt convert those*). If not, EA is probably making a version for Mac users with a different code at a different time or they might make an update allowing Mac users to use the product. A good theory I thought of was if Aspyr did convert TS2 Ultimate Colletction to Mac (since the Mac version of TS2 from Aspyr came out a few months after the original was released) at a later time.

Lastly, (sorry I wrote too much 😕mileyfrustrated: 😕mileylol🙂 the game IS free so EA actually has the right to make it for only windows considering no business would be made UNLESS someone does decide to pay for a Mac version. 

I hope that got your thinking process going for this and maybe my theories may come true :catvery-happy:

I got SO EXCITED when my brother told me about this amazing deal. BUMMER it only works if you have a PC.... Will it ever be available for mac? Please say yes!

Bootcamp is not windows itself, but a program you can use to install windows. I you want to put windows on your computer, you will have to buy it for about $88.00 US dollars. Also, whether bootcamp works or not depends on how much hard drive space you have available. If you don't have enough, it will cause huge problems. You can see more on apple's website.
