'''''The Sims 2 Store Edition''''' was a client for ''[[The Sims 2]]'' that enabled users to use [[TheSims2.com|''The Sims 2 Store'']] content.
Line 27 ⟶ 26:
Players were able to shop at ''The Sims 2 Store'' online using real money to purchase items from [[Expansion Pack|expansion]] and stuff packs. Exclusive store items are also released for players to purchase using [[SimPoint]]s. Players can purchase SimPoints with the rate being $1 = 100 SimPoints. Items range from 25-250 SimPoints. The store closed while in Beta.
The client could be downloaded from EA officially, and was also pre-packaged with ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life|Apartment Life]]'', ''[[Compilations of The Sims 2#The Sims 2: Fun with Pets Collection|Fun with Pets Collection]]'', ''[[Compilations of The Sims 2#The Sims 2: University Life Collection|University Life Collection]]'' or ''[[Compilations of The Sims 2#The Sims 2: Best of Business Collection|Best of Business Collection]]''. Although being worthless now, it is still packaged with all new copies of these expansions.

Line 36 ⟶ 35:
''The Sims 2 Store Edition'' can no longer be downloaded from EA. However, players purchasing certain ''The Sims 2'' expansions on Origin, such as ''Seasons'' or ''Pets'', will see ''Store Edition'' appear in the download list, although it is still useless.
Before the closing of ''The Sims 2''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s official site, players were greeted with a screen saying that the Store had closed whenever attempting to access it. [[File:TS2 Store closed.png|thumb|332px|The screen that was displayed when players tried to access ''The Sims 2 Store'' after its closing.]] This is similar to how The Sims Carnival told users to visit The Sims 3.
As with all EPs and SPs, ''The Sims 2 Store Edition'' will delete saved games when it is uninstalled, and games in ''The Sims 2 Store'' are unreadable by prior versions of ''The Sims 2''.
Line 53 ⟶ 52:
==Trivia==
*This is the one of two games that does not require a CD/DVD key in the drive to play as it is a download version. The other is ''[[The Sims 2: Holiday Party Pack|Holiday Party Pack]]
*As with other ''The Sims 2'' products (with the exception of ''[[The Sims Stories]]'' and ''The Sims 2'' collections) on Windows, ''The Sims 2 Store Edition'' can be run on Windows 98 SE, Windows Me and Windows 2000 but EADM most likely does not support these versions of Windows.
*Due to being in released in US and Canada exclusively, this is the only game of ''The Sims 2'' that was not released in the European Union. However, it is possible to install and run it on European PCs since ''The Sims 2'' is not region locked.
Line 60 ⟶ 59:
*''The Sims 2 Store'' shut down in March 2011 so that the Store Edition could not be used, although still packaged with Expansion Packs.
*The game executable is Sims2SC.exe with the product name ''The Sims 2: Shopping Edition'' and the EADM install folder is named ''Sims 2 Club''.
*''The Sims 2'' cannot be found on the Origin store.
