Well, it looks like a lot of people are getting back into the Sims 2, with the release of the Ultimate Collection, so I thought it would be nice to have a place were people can talk and share their Sims 2 stories, old and new!
Share your excitement for the game! Even if you don't have it yet!
Let there be Sims!

I just wish I knew how to put saved games into this game. I don't feel like starting over...but with all this new content...I just might.
I love The Sims 2 SO much.
But my first plan is to play with the broke's I think. They were always my favorites. Or maybe the pleasant's...or the goths....oh lord. I just don't know! I'm so so so excited!
Hop on over to my YouTube Channel if you'd like!
When it comes to the Sims 2, the choices are endless And the pre-made Sims are really fun to play, since they have meaningful, interesting back-stories.
I did at one time own every TS2, except for the last SP. When I moved to my home back in 2009, some how my whole TS2 collection got lost in the move. I did register everything, but beyond my compensation all my information was completely lost. I even went through a phone call and live chat to have someone help me.
Thinking ok, I might as well start over, I started to purchase all what was lost again. The only thing was as I was trying to complete my collection again, Origin decided to discontinue TS2.
Now that they are releasing this again, I'm soooooooo happy, I could cry. I'm going through all kinds of emotions right now. I'm getting a second chance at my beloved sims. When I get a chance to finally play it again, I'm going straight for my favorite, Riverblossom Hills, and Alexandra O'Mackey.
This is the only picture I have at the moment.
I was not playing that vampire at the time, and he decided to turn my poor girl into the undead all on his own. I really miss that, when vampires weren't woosies.
I really think that it is unexpected, but great for EA to be doing this, they have made A LOT of people happy! Including me, because I had all the expansions, expect free time, and had no stuff packs. Now we get them all... For free! Now I just have to wait for it to show up in my origin!
I never got to play Free Time, so I am really excited to get a chance to finally play it! Apartment life is one of the best expansion packs (in my opinion)
Yeah so far I love it. It's what the apartments in Sims 3 should've been. My sim is a romance sim and just asked his neighbor to go with him to the coffee shop. Just got him the vibrating heart bed so we'll see how their outing goes.
I remember loading it up and playing the little minigame to distract you while it installed. Then, the game opened and I made my first family, The Gleasons, Jonathan and Toula. They had TWINS on the first go. I was equal parts stoked and horrified because I had no idea how to cheat their needs up. Talk about a crash course in Simming.
Before the jump bug got them, Jonathan and Toula had 10 girls and I tried and tried to get a boy.
Favorite Pre-made Family - Don Lothario. He impregnated every woman of child bearing years in Pleasantview at least once.
Don is my favorite pre-made (Hence the username ). I always make sure to play him, because there is so much you can do with him! Though I almost always make him end up with Brandi Broke, I have no clue why.. Its just how I play
The Sims are far more lively in this version. They react to others around them. My father Sim went out in his underwear to collect the newspaper and greeted a neighbor in passing.
The food spoils so very quickly, too. I miss the green plumes of stink when a Sim is in need of a shower. The UI looks way different from how I remembered it. :shock: All-in-all I've had a blast today. I may only spend a small amount of time over here and then play Sims3 for a bit today, too.
I miss being able to send my Sim out on the town. Don't know how well I will fare with Sims4, but if I don't try it, I will never know.

I love that the Sims wave to one another or have some sort of reaction to passing sims. The one thing that makes the closed world a little more bearable is the amount of sims that come past the house. Gosh I can't get over how much I love this installment of the series
Out on the town? You mean like on dates, or shopping? Install a downtown area for a place to go on dates or shopping. You can also install the business area, where there are some owned businesses for shopping or you can buy/start your own business. There are round icons at the top of your neighborhood screen for these.
Note on dates: I haven't tried this in ultimate, but in my old game I sometimes had a problem of asking someone out on a date, but not getting to downtown fast enough, so they'd say I stood them up and hate me for awhile. It's better to either go to the place and then call them up for a date, or have them come to your home for the date and then go downtown together.
Now I'm trying to set up a downloads folder and get some custom skin in
Other than the tutorial, for giggles, I've never been to into playing with the premades. I love being able to start in a blank neighbor hood and build it up one family at a time. That and I'm partially obsessed with the apocalypse challenge.

This picture really sums up what makes TS2 great for me. The Mom and Dad are woohooing in the car, while it is snowing and there is a dog outside, as their teen daughter looks on in disgust. :P
This is the family I made, and a picture of their house. :-)
Also, I just love that we can paint custom pictures! My Sim made a Gaga Gallery, hehe. :-)
Love the Gaga Gallery .... hmmmm .... might toss some of my s3 sims portrait pics into the pic gallery.
