sims 2

Hello, I've been a big fan of the sims series for quite a while now. I started out with the sims 3 but have heard amazing things about the sims 2 and was wondering if there was any way for me to download it through Origin? I would purchase it online elsewhere but am worried about getting scammed. 

  • @Farahhelton , the Sims 2 is not available as a digital download through Origin or any other service for Windows OS. The only copies of Sims 2 that are availble are either on Amazon or Ebay. Your local games store may have used copies for sale as well. Please note that to play Sims 2, you will need an external disk drive if your computer does not have one.

    @CarterLipton , at this time the only way to obtain copies of The Sims 2 is either through Ebay or Amazon. You could also check your local games store to see if they may have used copies for sale as well. The only digital version of the game available at this time is for the Mac OS.

  • @ESKB13 , afraid not. You will need an external disk drive if your computer does not have one. There is no digital version of Sims 2 for Windows OS available to purchase at this time.

    @Farahhelton , Amazon is probably your best bet then. As I said, if you have a local games store that sells used games, they are relable as well.

  • The only way to get the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection is through ebay. It's not available on Amazon. You'll most likely get scammed anyways, as despite the fact that they're selling the game, the activation code will have been used, and I doubt they'll have deactivated it in order for the activation code to become usable again. So you'll most likely be screwed regardless unfortunately, unless you've already gotten it

    @MegurineLukaV4X , there are some copies available for "New" on Amazon which I have looked at when researching information for other players. However, that is the key is looking for "new" or "unopened" copies of the game CDs. 

    I am not sure, but sometimes EA Customer Service may give you another code with which to play the game off the CD since this is an older title.

  • @Farahhelton I'm sorry but The Sims 2 has been removed off of origin! You can no longer buy it from the website! Try going to a different site that you trust (ex. Amazon, Ebay, craigslist) Hope you find it ok!

    Please note that I am not from EA
