'''''The Sims 2: University Life Collection''''' includes ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'', ''[[The Sims 2: Teen Style Stuff]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2: IKEA Home Stuff]]''. A PC version was announced on [[TheSims2.com]] website on July 8, 2009, and released in North America on August 24, 2009. Although some promotional images suggested that it was available for Mac, this version has not been released yet.

Many players became frustrated that the collection came with ''Teen Style Stuff'' because the new college students could not use these new items. There were rumors and speculation that a new, bona fide version of University Life Collection would be released in late 2010, with a new stuff pack for Young Adults included, but that did not happen. There were other rumors that EA had promised some form of special gift for their apparent slip-up.

''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>
