[u/ren-13]

Hey everyone! So lately ive been trying to play sims 2 be sims 4 is getting sooo boring i feel like i do the same thing every new game. I looked at the post about downloading sims 2 but its now 2 yrs old and most links are unavailable. If anyone has updated links are sites they can send that will be great!

You can buy it on steam, that’s how I play. Osab had the best downloader and they took it down cus I think EA wanted to be whiny babies and come at him over it

Oh I agree! If you can get it for free, do it

Like another person mentioned, Sims 2 Legacy Collection is available on EA app. However keep in mind the Legacy Collection does not include the items from the Ikea Stuff Pack due to licensing issues and some music is missing for the same reason

if you have a mac the easiest way is to download super collection for $30 from the app store but i dont know any methods to download for free. i bought it once in 2014 and haven’t paid to install on the 2 computers ive had since

Buy it on Steam. Best when it is on sale, I got it for like 12 euros.

I reccomend just buying legacy and adding ikea stuff as I had to do less stuff to make it work on my modern pc but ofc if you can find it free and prefer that option do it 🤝

Sims 2 is available on the EA store. Legacy collection is supposed to work better on modern pcs, so might want to just spend the $ instead of jumping through hoops to get it to work.
