- mate545 years agoHero+@Kuky_YT Unfortunately, The Sims 2 is no longer available for purchase or registration on Origin. The free promotion ended in 2018 and the game is no longer given out to new players.
To play The Sims 2 on Windows, you can find physical copies of the game on eBay, Amazon and maybe some other stores (and external drives, if your computer does not have one; they are usually pretty cheap).
To play on Mac, you can find and purchase The Sims 2 Super Collection on Mac App Store with all the packs that were released on Mac. @mate54 This is a shame, because I thought that the final collection of sims 2 is free everywhere. I found Sims 2 Ultimate Collection for free in: oldgamesdownload. but there were 2 sims only in the quality of 830x500 (or something like that), so it's a pity that it's no longer free anywhere
- mate545 years agoHero+@Kuky_YT You can use Graphics Rules Maker to fix the resolution and the graphics, as well as increase the settings for your game.
@Kuky_YT , if you got the game free prior to 2018, you will still have to "fix" the game to run on newer computers because the game does not recognize newer graphics cards. As @mate54 has said, you'll need to install the game and then apply Graphics Rule Maker (which can be found by Google searching) to add your graphics card so the game will recognize it and display both the correct resolutions and not glitch out.
If you have trouble with increasing the resolution after installing Graphics Rule Maker, let us know and we'll help you.
