Game patches were available there[1], and it offered free downloads of custom content including lots, neighborhoods, items, and Sims. Other features included: Community Chat, Community Boards (BBS), PodCasts, The Sims 2 Store, LOLSims (a parody of LOLCats)[2] and information about upcoming events (or game releases). TheSims2.com is monitored by Maxoids.
On February 1, 2011, EA announced that The Sims 2 Store will close as of March 31, 2011 and therefore, support of The Sims 2 Store Edition has ended.
On July 20, 2011, there was a link for The Sims 2 on The Sims 3 Website, but that link was replaced by The Sims Social. MySims was also been replaced by The Sims Medieval and SimAnimals with The Sims 3 (console) (Later The Sims 3 Pets).
As of July 17, 2011, attempts to visit TheSims2.com resulted in a screen with color bars and a message saying that the site was closed for maintenance but as of August, an error page similar to The Sims 3 website appeared. Attempts to visit sub-sections such as the BBS or the Exchange failed.
