Free The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection!! «1234567…16...Next Go

"Dear Origin gamer,

Your current version of The Sims 2 will lose technical support on 22 July 2014. We want you to have the most up-to-date version of The Sims 2 in your collection, so you will see a brand new addition to your Origin library: The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection.

This is the most up-to-date version of The Sims 2 and the version that is still supported by Origin. It also features a lot more content than you may already have in your current version of The Sims 2.

The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection will appear in your Origin library automatically. You'll need to download and install it to your computer to play it.

You're free to continue playing your existing version of The Sims 2, but please note that it is an older edition of the game that will soon lose technical support. To continue receiving support on your progress of The Sims 2 -- including Sims characters, houses, etc. -- you will need to transfer your save files of The Sims 2 to the Ultimate Edition. To learn more about backing up your data, please visit http://help.ea.com/en/article/backing-up-your-sims-2-files/.

Once you've migrated your Sims' lives to The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection, you can better organize your Origin game library by hiding your previous version of The Sims 2. Click on the tile for The Sims 2 in your Game Library for the option to hide it. If you need additional directions, we've got you covered.


Thanks for your continuing passion for The Sims.

-- Team Origin"

Random posts that don't involve "real" people telling you how to fix Simple things..

If your game is corrupted they will likely tell you to reinstall it, while other fan sites say it would be possible to replace all those Object files you've easily corrupted with ones from the CD and such.

Aw that's always annoying.

It hasn't shown up in my library yet. Hopefully it isn't CAS Demo 2.0 XD

Maybe anyone who has TS2 in their library will automatically gain this one on July 22nd? I hope so because it'll complete my collection with Pets and Seasons, haha!

last time i checked my sims 2 was seperate from my origin account and the games don't show up in 'my games' in origin anyway. checked if i had the email if they had any idea that i did have sims 2 but nada.

Do you think possibly because they aren't connected i won't get the offer? or is this just fake

My Sims 2 games don't show up in my Origin "my games" either. Admittedly, I bought most on disk, but there were 5 EPs/Stuff packs I bought digitally. Hmmm. I hadn't thought of it in a long time, but I wonder now how I would go about reinstalling that stuff when I get my new computer.

I didn't get any of my Sims 2 games from Origin, however did get this email about 10 minutes ago. I just checked my Origin account... nothing yet.

I think you have to have The Sims 2 in your library.

edit: Apparently not!

Haha I need two of the SPs.. conveniently the ones not featured!

So what exactly will be in this ultimate collection?

OMG I hope this means they are releasing all the Sims 2 games back to Origin because I sold all mine and I want them back! :-) I hope they're available to but, too. :-)

A list of games featured. I think these are all of them.

I think that's just a list someone put together on Amazon, it isn't official in any way. Anyone can put them together. :-)

I owned quite a few of the expansions (not all, the reason why i am so interested in this) but they were all on disc. I don't think there would be any kind of email attached to it that i have any idea of. Maybe it has something to do with the sims 2 forums? i think i went on there once or twice, can't say if i remember joining though and if so, what email i used. (if does have something to do with it, it is likely i wouldn't be able to get to the email, regardless)

PixelsSquared

Call me stupid, but does this mean that players who have TS2 in their Origin library will get all of the EPs and SPs for free? :shock: :oops: I'm kind of confused. :P I have Double Deluxe, but it's a physical copy and it doesn't show up in my library, so if that's the case, I'll be extremely unhappy. :?

okester

I don't have any Sims 2 games on Origin But I am happy for the rest of you if the Ultimate Edition does include all the games

itz_jake_16

I've never heard of this The Sims 2: Ultimate Collection, but maybe they just compiled all the games into one file and put cover art on it and labeled it as a collection? I hope this is true, because I deleted all of my Sims 2 off of my computer maybe a year ago, and I do want to play again, but I hate how long it takes for each game to download.

I'm hoping this is something I will be able to get as I don't want my game to become corrupted. I am currently playing sims 2. My sims 2 stuff is also not connected to origin at all.

typicalgemini

I have this email too! If it includes all expansions and stuff packs then I will be really happy, because I sold all my sims 2 games and got some of them as digital downloads but before I could but the rest they stopped selling them! I'm missing 3 expansions and a few stuff packs. It hasn't shown up in my library yet

I'm not a big fan of Origin, but I'm glad they are putting together an Ultimate Collection for TS2. I also like how if you register a physical copy of your game, it puts a digital copy in your library for free.

Unfortunately for me, all my TS2 games are on disc and Origin wasn't offering the digital backups back when I got my games. Otherwise, I would love to have this as an option. I'm afraid my TS2 games will become damaged eventually from ordinary wear and tear.

EDIT: I just checked my email, and I also received this message. I forgot I bought the sims 2 holiday mini pack.

SimsFanatic00

I have 2 expansion packs and 3 stuff packs via Origin and I got the same email.

I can't remember how exactly, but about a year ago I spoke to someone from customer support and managed to bag a FREE copy of The Sims 2 Double Deluxe! That and Freetime are the only Sims 2 games I have on origin (but I have both as a hard copy too, in case EA shut down origin or something and so I have a game to fall back on).

I'd advice you all the same. Don't rely 100% on Origin for The Sims 2 - at one time or another it won't surprise me if EA remove them.

You're absolutely right. That is why I always opt for physical copies over digital. I already have my TS2 holiday mini pack on an external hard drive for safe keeping
