The sims 1 ultimate collection for free#Ī time when you could get The Sims 2 for free on Origin. A time we still speak of as the age of glory…īut in case you didn’t know, those days are over. As of October 2018, free copies of the Sims 2 are no longer available on Origin – even if you beg and plead and provide proof of purchase. See this forum post on the official forums. However, it’s not impossible to get your hands on the best game ever. So, how can you buy The Sims 2? The best way is to purchase a used copy of the disc version on Amazon or Ebay. Check both sites for the best price, as it varies depending on what’s currently available. For the best deal, look for bundled editions like Double Deluxe and then purchase other must-have expansions separately. Note: If you buy the game through one of the links on this page, I’ll get a few cents of commission at no additional cost to you – which helps me with the cost of running this website. Thank you! Buy it on AmazonĪmazon has a ton of copies available for dirt-cheap. If at first glance, they look really expensive, that’s because the brand new ones are listed first. Scroll down to the “More Buying Choices” section under the expensive price and you’ll see hundreds of new and used offers for just a few bucks. You’ll find everything available including the base game, various bundles, all expansion packs, and all the stuff packs. Even Goopy can’t wait to buy a Sims 2 disc. Buy it on EbayĮbay is another good place to find used copies of The Sims 2 – and often at a lower price than on Amazon too. Click here to view the listings.Įbay is also great for finding “lots” where a person sells multiple expansion packs or stuff packs for a single price. This means you only have to pay shipping once for several different discs. Unfortunately, Ebay does have some scammers trying to sell illegal digital copies of the game. If the listing says the game is a download, it’s not real or it’s illegal.
There is no legal way to download The Sims 2. WARNING: DO NOT BUY THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION ON EBAY!!! The only option is to buy an actual physical disc version. 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.
What you have to do is go into your Sims 1 install folder and merge the UIGraphics folder with this one. If you want to try it out or help me make it even better, download it Here! Notice no bad neighborhood backgrounds or ui! There still are a few problems, such as you cannot zoom too far out without a weird bug, but with the widescreen you don't really want to anyway.
I wasn't happy with it, so I looked into how I could fix it, and Voilà! I have edited the UI to fix the weird bugs. This works, but has many issues, such as the sim UI doesn't refresh properly or the neighborhood screen looks jank.
