Compilations of The Sims 2: Difference between revisions

It was 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 would 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.

*''The Sims 2: Super Collection'' wasis the only legal way to get ''[[The Sims 2]]'' from 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.
