So, I really wanted TS2. I bought it a few months back on eBay, but it was digital, probably a used origin account. That seller is nowhere to be found 😩 so my question is, is there anywhere else that sells the sims 2 and all it’s expansion packs? Similar to the sims complete collection ? I’m having withdrawals right now lol

WARNING: DO NOT BUY THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION ON EBAY!!!
There are numerous listings for The Ultimate Collection on Ebay and they are dirt cheap – usually just a few dollars. When you dig deeper, you find out these are actual Origin accounts being sold with the Ultimate Collection on them. After you pay, you’ll be given a username and password for an Origin account. Many of these are stolen accounts.
Origin WILL figure out this account was stolen and it will be revoked. You will lose your money and the access to the game. Even if the account wasn’t stolen, it’s still against the Terms of Service to sell an account, and will eventually be revoked.
And finally, you can also be scammed by the seller changing the password after selling you the account and re-selling it again. Or even claiming to Origin that YOU hacked the account and getting it back. This is NEVER legit. DO NOT BUY THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION ON EBAY. Only buy the physical disc from reputable sellers who include the CD key and have a picture of the product.

In general a digital version of the Sims 2 was never made so the only trustworthy way to get The Sims 2 is buying the discs.
Yes this is why I always recommend retail. We have a Gamestop here that sell used games and you can get the Sims 2 for like 10 bucks.
Sales loss for TS4 on Macs isn't as great as it would be on PCs.
What do you mean?
I'm curious too. I know @ClarionOfJoy never misses a chance to post his views on TS4 but this thread is about purchasing the TS2 Ultimate Collection. 🤔
Mac users are used to playing PC only games through Windows emulators. I wish someone would create a Mac emulator for PC so people who have PCs and missed out on TS2 can just get TS2 for Mac and play it through the emulator.
PS: I'm female!
I am used to playing TS on PC, including TS2. I only started playing on a Mac because I am an editor and use that for editing, as you said lol. I have TS2 Ultimate Collection because of when they gave the game away for free a few years ago. I haven’t been able to play it tho. I might try bootcamp on my iMac.
I heard people use Wine as the Windows emulator for Macs. Not sure if TS2 can be played through that, but worth a try!
Have you tried the TS2 part of the forums? I found many helpful folks who enabled me to get UC running nice and smooth, even on a Win 10 machine. Somebody over there is bound to be able to help you.
No, I haven’t tried over there but that’s a good idea. Thanks!
