www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2014/07/23/get-the-sims-2-ultimate-collection-for-free.aspxEA recently announced it is ending support for The Sims 2, meaning there will no further patches or updates. As a token of good will, the publisher is upgrading all owners to the Ultimate Collection of the game. For a limited time, anyone can get the game for free.
In order to get your copy of The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection, which comes with every expansion and “stuff pack” for the title, you’ll need an Origin account. Once logged in, you’ll need to redeem the code “I-Love-The-Sims.” You do not need the quotes or the hyphens, but you do need to move on this offer. It's only valid until July 31.
Once complete, you’ll be the proud owner of The Sims, including all the swimming pools, toasters, and other hazards you could hope for. If you’re looking for a more recent experience, The Sims 3 is available now with a huge amount of add-on content.Sure its an old game, but I still think its nice gesture.

Pretty neat, I might get it, even if it's hard to go back after Sims 3.

Honestly that's pretty damn big of them. I know Sims 4 is on the horizon but that's a ton of gaming right there. Hell even if you don't see yourself playing it anytime soon nothing wrong with putting it in your account before they stop this deal.

I really don't see the problem with Origin other than who created it. I've never had a hate-on for EA anyway, I don't see the point, other than it being popular. Besides it's nice to have when they give away free stuff which is more often than people think. It's no Steam, but neither is anything else.

But now it is a pretty damned good service. |

How different is this from 3? I'm sure it's not as good. Just curious what 3 added.

Seems more like a 'Please download Origin, we will give you free stuff' ploy

Just curious what 3 added. 3 has better clothing options, that was a big one that stood out to me, where you don't have to pick one single outfit, you can do it pants, shirt, etc, bit by bit. I don't think you have that level of freedom in 2. |

This is confusing me. Some places say that you need the Sims 2 brought off Origin and others day that you get the Sims 2 free along with the expansion packs. Really hope it's not the former because Sims 2 is not on Origin...

I had a few Sims2 games (Double Deluxe, Seasons, Vacation, Apartment Life) Was a pretty good game but I doubt I would play it.
Also own Sims1 +Sims1 pets.
Sims3 really didn't do it for me. I hated the camera.
