The ''Ultimate Collection'' includes all expansions and stuff packs for ''The Sims 2'', regardless of whether or not the player owned them before, along with all of the game [[patch]]es. There is no information about when the collection will be released to non-Origin players.

[https://twitter.com/matejel54/status/489371352462536705 A Tweet was sent out] on July 16, 2014 releasing information from a chat with a producer. The chat conversation talked about ''The Sims 2: Ultimate Collection'' and whether it was going to be purchasable. It has been confirmed that ''The Sims 2: Ultimate Collection'' will be available for purchase by the public, although if ''The Sims 2 '' is in the Origin library it will come for free.

''The Sims 2: Ultimate Collection'' uses the icon for ''[[The Sims 2: Mansion & Garden Stuff]]'', launches from "Sims2EP9.exe" (the same as ''Mansion & Garden Stuff''), and the main menu uses the ''Mansion & Garden Stuff'' logo. However, the initial loading screen shows the logo for ''The Sims 2: Fun with Pets Collection''. This is because ''Ultimate Collection'' is largely a compilation of compilations. It includes [[Compilations of The Sims 2#The Sims 2: Double Deluxe|''Double Deluxe'']] and the [[Compilations of The Sims 2#The Sims 2: University Life Collection|''University Life'']], [[Compilations of The Sims 2#The Sims 2: Best of Business Collection|''Best of Business'']], and [[Compilations of The Sims 2#The Sims 2: Fun with Pets Collection|''Fun with Pets'']] collections, as well as the expansion and stuff packs that are not part of these collections.<ref>[http://simscommunity.net/2014/07/18/the-sims-2-ultimate-collection-info-facts/ The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection – Info & Facts!] at Sims Community</ref>

It is stillwas possible to get a copy of the ''Ultimate Collection'' by providing a physical or disc copy of ''The Sims 2'' (or any other The Sims 2 compilation e.g. ''The Sims 2: Double Deluxe'') on one's Origin account on Origin live chat. Once done, a copy willwould be added to the Origin library. As of October 11, 2018, EA [https://help.ea.com/en-in/help/the-sims/the-sims-2/ending-code-support-for-the-sims-2-ultimate-collection/ ended code support] for ''Ultimate Collection'', meaning players can no longer redeem a copy of ''Ultimate Collection'' and also meaning that players can no longer purchase or redeem any copy of any ''The Sims 2'' games even if the player has a code from a physical copy.

''In ''The Sims™ 2: Super Collection'', take your Sim from cradle to grave through life’slife's greatest moments. Create your own houses, neighborhoods, Sims, and even family dynasties—then watch it all come to life! You may choose to manage your Sims so they experience the rewards of a life well lived. Of course, you may also choose to neglect their needs, indulge in their fears, and see what happens… The possibilities are endless!''

Custom content and saves created for newer expansion and stuff packs such after as ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime|FreeTime]]'' and before ''[[The Sims 2: Mansion & Garden Stuff|Mansion &amp; Garden]]'' will not work with the ''Super Collection''.

*''The Sims 2: Super Collection'' is the only legal way to get ''[[The Sims 2]]'' as offrom August 2014 besides buying physical copies second hand since EA no longer sells the game. Before July 31, 2014, it was possible to get ''Ultimate Collection'' for free through [[Origin]] but now this is no longer possible. It was possible to get the ''Ultimate Collection'' as a free download if you contacted EA's chat support regarding the game, with proof that you have a copy of the base game, to which they then add the game to your Origin account. However, this is no longer possible and any copies of the game that weren't given out were deleted for unknown reasons. The most likely reason for this could be the age of the game, which had it's last pack released twelve years ago as of November 2020, which makes the game difficult to run on newer systems of Windows due to several glitches with Windows 8.1 and 10 and the game.
