@@bognakoataj4033 yes it is so, but if you take a larger perspective basicly EA is one of the best reapresentation of capitalism that in order to keep selling have to stop selling one of his best products.

@@Giaduzza89 it is actually right looking from this perspective, but again primarily, IMHO, if ts4 had not been such a flop ts2 would not be that big financial threat to them and people would be more inclined to even buy and play those together🤔
@@bognakoataj4033 That is exactly what capitalism tends to do: preferring quantity to quality. The "wheal" can't be stopped, they must keep selling and producing new things in order to keep selling again. And in order to keep selling they ironicly ended up not selling theyr own products because the previous one was better than the one they are selling now! Motherfore if you adds the necessity to have a higher profit with a lower investment (as is evident in ts4) that's the result!

Exactly. The best way to stop piracy is to make the legal way more convenient - that’s why piracy was at record lows when Netflix had everything but jumped back up when the whole 10,000,000 different streaming services thing started.
But it’s NOT piracy... EA gave away the rights to Sims 2. So it’s no longer a creative property of Maxis. There’s a whole SUBREDDIT dedicated to this.....

@@deemah3602 I feel like build mode is the only real asset that TS4 has. When people say that 4 has the best looking graphics they forget to add the caveat “with CC”. Yeah, sims 4 has by far the highest quality CC. Without alpha CC I find it way too cartoony. I remember when sims 4 CAS demo came out, the sims 3 forums were on fire talking about how bad the graphics are and how the sims look like clay. In terms of worlds, sims 4 closed worlds could never hold a candle to Sims 3 open worlds.
I've got to tell you, I was one of those that called EA games AFTER they had stopped giving it away free, to see if I could get the Ultimate collection, I had a great conversation with a guy in the USA to see if there was any way of me getting it free, Bottom line, he said "I'm not supposed to do this, but I'm going to give you the UC, we then spoke about why they had stopped giving it away or even selling it, and I've got to tell you, YOU ARE CORRECT in your assumption, they've stopped people getting it as they are afraid that if it were still available, even to buy, it would kill the sales of the Sims 4. We must have talked for an hour or more, and there was mention of The Sims 3, I ended up being given that too. Lol, but yes you are spot on in your reasoning as to why the Sims 2 is no longer available
I had a kinda similar experience around 2015/16 or so. I missed out the promotion and wanted to see what I could do, I told a helper that I had the base game and pets from 2005/6 but lost the discs and codes (true statement) and they said since I already owned the games I could have UC
That is super interesting. I called one to try to get TS2UC about a year ago and I openly spoke about my speculations, which were the same as mentioned in the video. The guy hesitated then told me that the real reason was they ran out of codes. My thoughts are... how do you run out of codes for a digital product? It costs nothing to create new ones. I even told him how people on Ebay are making thousands off of selling pirated copies. He said he would send in a report but we both know he isn't going to. So I'm just playing the pirated Sims 2 and boycotting the Sims 4... as if I'm helping!🤣
The fact that Sims 2 isn’t on Origin is honestly so upsetting to me! At one point, they were giving out the Sims 2 for free, and now they don’t even give people the chance to buy it!
She mentioned Old Games Download in the video, even. I downloaded mine from there months ago and haven't had a single issue-they have both the standard and ultimate collection and instructions for installing both.
@@AGlassOfWhine Sims 2 was available for free in 2014 on Origin. If you had a valid code for The Sims 2, you could contact support and be given the Ultimate Collection on Origin until 2018. Now, even if you have a valid code for The Sims 2, you cannot get The Sims 2 on Origin. You can’t buy it from Origin, either.
I have been hoping that they would at least release a free "retro" or "vintage" stuff pack with some of the items from the sims 1 remastered for the sims 4.
This is one of the many reasons why piracy will never die. "We have reached a point where we no longer can [support]" what a bunch of bullshit. EA never fails to disappoint
@@GABE_is_here Ya I refuse to give them almost 1000$ for TS4. I'd love to pay developers and artists but that's way too much and I think they've jumped the shark on that. I don't understand why they can't do Season Passes like ARK has.

Litch The Shinigami Yeah me too. The last ep I bought for Sims 4 was cats and dogs and haven't touched it in a long time. I only play Sims 3 and occasionally the Sims 2.
@@myeeeeeh i do have most of the expansions because i'm an impulsive idiot. and i sometimes play it during the more boring lessons.. since the sims 4 is so not in depth it's easy for me to play it while focussing on my lesson
Yeah, I wrote them sometime last year and asked them for the Ultimate Collection. They replied that they no longer could do it and suggested that I play Sims 4 instead because it has 'superior gameplay and graphics'. I laughed at that one.
I would’ve done the same and laughed, I realized as I play the sims 4 that it gets boring quick (for me at least) w/ the sims 2 there’s so much gameplay.
They probably know that if the sims 2 will be back on origin nobody will play sims 4 because sims 2 (and personally for me the sims 3) are superiors 🤷🏻♀️ even though sims 2 is an older game it’s still a fan favorite, EA are probably scared of the pressure to actually put some passion into the game and it will ruin EA hobby of disappointing us!
But then it’s people out there who will pay that 10 dollars and then turn around and shame a CC creator for asking for 2$ for an entire collection..... ☕️
As someone who has a mac, they updated the entire sims 3 game to 64-bit so we could play it again. Couldn’t they do something like that for the sims 2??
Is that still available? I just got a Mac a month or so ago, but I can’t seem to see anything about Sims 3 64-bit when I look on Origin. I know Macs are far inferior where games are concerned, and I’m 100% willing to keep my old computer just for Sims; but I’d love to be able to have it all on my new computer.
If you have a Mac you can get the sims 2! It’s in the App Store and it’s optimized to run on modern Macs. It is about 30 bucks and comes with 9 packs :)

they probably do, which is exactly why they won’t make it available on origin, because they’d probably make more sales off that game than their newer games.
because they know it’s the best game that’s why and the sims 4 would be left in the dust , GET OUT , LEAVE RIGHT NOW. I still have all the physical games and they will be taken with me to the next life 😂😂😂
also when i had to re purchase some games due to having them for years , I found them in disc form on amazon and cex ( i’m from the UK and these were the best places i could find them ) for reasonable prices and you can buy a dvd/cd drive you can plug in with a hdmi cable , that’s what I have done in the past if anyone is struggling to play the sims 2 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Exactly when I played the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection I had no problems with my except I had to tweak and modernize the graphics and UI.. My grade was working so smoothly on my Windows 10 HP Laptop 64-bit and x64 processor 😭😭😭💀 But playing the Sims 3 Supernatural was so disastrous and the game was a living hell on a Dell Laptop 64-bit was a living hell and nightmare…
Because if Sims 2 was easily accessible people would stop paying attention to sims 4 all together. EA knows how disappointing sims 4 is when compared to sims 2. There are still people who love playing Spore, and Spore has some of the worst graphics glitches I’ve ever seen. I don’t buy the graphics problems as why they won’t support it.
I've been one of the 'lucky ones' to get the Ultimate Collection with the I-LOVE-THE-SIMS code. I had all the discs available already, but I didn't want to search for them every time I wanted to install the game. So I thought it was a great idea to have it on Origin, available to download it anytime I get the urge to play it. I am so sorry that they've canceled the game from Origin, it sucks. So, I signed the petition to help everyone have a chance to get it again!
i was late to use the code but i had copies of the sims 2 i hadn’t used and i contacted customer service to get it. it’s so frustrating that they take away such amazing games with SO MUCH more life and personality and replace it with dry and underwhelming marketing scams *cough* sims 4 :,)
I would say don’t forget Bethesda (because subscription and over prized expansion packs of eso) but at least their game is solid. People who are playing the game are incredibly fond of it. So EA wins being an ass
If only The Sims 2 lasted as long as The Sims 4 ... I don't want to imagine the wonderful expansions they would have given us. People do not understand that The Sims 2 has errors because they are very deep and each sim has a lot of information that sometimes gets corrupted without the right mods (memories, tastes, personality ...), instead the Sims 4 have errors because they were programmed lazily, that's why they are so easy to erase, they are all different looking clones, they are empty and no matter what you do as there is nothing encoded in them, there are no consequences, just objects with animations. They do not feel "alive". You can tell that the people of the current team are much less intelligent than when Will Wright was, they are mediocre people without imagination or sight for small details, basically they are low-ci psycho-zombies like the players who spend money on this scam.
To be honest, I think that EA is aware people are dissappointed with sims 4 and will lose sales on the sims 4 expansions if they start selling sims 2. With people making CC for sims 2 all these years later, it certainly says a lot about Sims 2. I would buy Sims 2 IF they had it but since they don't want my money I still got all my disks.
maybe they should do a sims 2 remaster for the 21st birthday instead so it continues to work on new/newer computers for years :/ sims 2 was my favorite and after my computer updated awhile back i couldn’t even download it to the computer
I remember when The Sims 2 originally got taken off of Origin during Sims 3's hayday, and a lot of people attributed it to the fact EA wanted people to focus on Sims 3 and buy stuff in the ridiculously priced Sims 3 store for sims 2 gameplay stuff. It just feels like they're doing the same for the sims 4.
Well then they should take a hint😂 do something about ts4 like yeah graphic is okay buut the gameplay... daaamn it’s boring ts2 was one of the most sucsessful game for EA and the stories and gameplay all in all i think they could make some great money on selling ts2 again😂
People are starting to go back to Sims 2, even to the point where modders are legit improving the core of the game (The new story progression mod for Sims 2 for example)
I don't think pirating from EA in general is a bad thing tbh. Legal disclaimer: this comment is in reference purely to philosophical morality. We are still legally obliged to do our civil duties by trying to find a way to legally obtain our games from our tripe A gaming overlords.
yeah i don't think it does any harm, particularly if they're not interested in making money from it anymore. i'm particularly chill about it when i've owned the game previously but lost or donated my disc copy somewhere along the line. they've had my money at some point 🤷♀️
@@sillygoosegoose Same, I still have the discs for the base-game and 7 expansions, but I've lost the codes and scratched the discs in the 13 years I've owned them lol. Owning them as a 10 year old and moving houses several times will do that 😭
I do support the theory that EA doesn't want to put Sims 2 up again cause it would take away from Sims 4's sales. It's a very EA way of thinking, which they'd never admit to.
I remember in 2017 going on a live chat to ea customer service with no copy of sims 2 or a code or anything and just asking them if I could have the ultimate collection, saying that I knew they did a promo in the past where they gave it away for free but I only found out about it then and missed out. I didn’t think they’d give me it but I’d heard of other people getting it like this and I was desperate to try the game so I just thought I’d chance it. To my surprise they were completely fine with giving me a code for the game and were really nice to me in chat even though I was clearly pushing my luck 💀 so glad I got the game though and I prefer it to sims 4!
Considering how good EA is at taking money from people you'd think that they'd be all over an opportunity to sell something even if was someone casually buying for a 5 minute nostalgia trip 😒
I'm pretty sure they're just scared it's gonna outsell the sims 4 lmao imagine how embarrassing the headlines would be they want to convince everyone ts4 is the best in the series and they're prepared to die on that hill for anyone scared of pirating it, honestly the ultimate collection was the easiest to pirate of all the games I've pirated before. just a few clicks and it was done. no need to be tech savvy and for anyone hung up on morals... they're not selling it. how wrong is it to pirate the game if it's not available in any other way? either way ea doesn't get your money, who cares.
@@AGlassOfWhine they're not giving it out for free anymore. what I mean is that there are enough people out there willing to actually pay money for it if they started selling it again, but in my opinion they won't do it, even though it would be profitable for them, because there would be a chance it would outsell ts4.
I think it depends on the processor and the graphics card, I had to install a program that prevented Windows 10 from stealing almost 8gb of ram (or more!) :S After fixing that and adding the 4gb patch plus change some lines of the graphic rules thanks to an elaborate tutorial, my game looks better and more realistic than Sims 4, and with the sliders and other mods it looks like a very modern game and the sims look gorgeous with almost no cc, I love my current sims 2 * _ *

I play the Sims 2 again, and it's crazy how realistic Sims behave compared to Sims 4. Just the fact that Sims lay on the couch, or just sit, basically resting like every human do is something I forgot possible. In Sims 4, when Sims are doing nothing, it's just because it's buggy and they're standing looking at the wall. OR They are constantly moving, doing whatever actions that don't make sense together.
cindy, to make you feel better: a report by the European Commission has found that illegal downloads of video games do not affect sales. so if you ever push pirating again, just keep this in mind : )
Cindy was actually against encouraging illegal downloading of TS2 until a couple of months ago when it was confirmed that EA actually has completely untangled itself from everything TS2 related (which is probably the reason why they can't put it back in Origin). The game has basically become abandonware so it's not illegal at all to pirate it since it basically has no owner anymore.
@@ainetero4452 have you even read my comment tho. besides, pirating from shitty big companies like EA and ubisoft is never bad in my book. thats why i usually spend my money on indie games and just pirate the big titles : ) i recommend everyone else to do the same thing...

Oh I absolutely believe that they know if they give us the Sims 2 on origin, no one will buy the sims 4 anymore and probably won't even be hyped for the sims 5 and future games because the Sims 2 is far superior! so many have given up on the future of the sims, so with the option to go to the past? I feel like everyone will just run there! 😄
You can still get The Real (not ripped from the disks containing SecuROM from oldgamesdownload) version from Games4theworld.... I literally have all the disks and chose to torrent it because its easier....... dont know who needs to hear this but.....😉
I said it before and ill say it again: ts2 is such a funny and well thought out game, even after all these years it still holds up. With a little remastering itd be good to go. Ts4 in comparison is bland, lackluster and basically unplayable without extra packs. And that alone proofes the superiority of ts2. EA probably really is scared of more people finding out how much of a cash grab ts4 is.
I downloaded the Sims 2 this past summer through the app store onto my mac. It's called "sims 2 super collection." It doesn't have *every* expansion but it has a fair number and runs really smoothly. I'm not sure if it's been discontinued but thought I'd share for fellow mac users! I also haven't had to do any of the fixes you mentioned - in fact it runs better than sims 3 and 4, both of which I have also played on my mac.
My speculation is the same as yours. TS4 is new money. TS2 is free. People wouldn't buy TS4 anymore and I am sure of it, especially after that much backlash. You're not alone in this... it's pure marketing strategy.
they will never bring back, because it Sims 4 is in bad place and they think that it people will go to Sims 2. but they just can get money with it and maybe pay other people to fix Sims 4. I would love to see Sims 3 64bit for Windows then maybe it will work better..
Just signed the petition. I'm lucky I still have my discs, but I still don't have all the expansions and it would be cheaper to buy the collection than to try and find all the expansions on ebay and whatnot. It's a great game, people deserve the chance to play it.
I wish Origin would suck it up and give TS2 rights to GOG... it's not like it's *their* game anyway... they didn't create it, they just destroyed the franchise. *cries in Maxis*
I'd love it if TS2 were on GOG. It has so many games, both old and new that it would be the perfect fit for it. They even used to ensure that the games worked on new systems too, not sure if they still do but at least for those who it matters to it can be legaly bought online again.
FYI, the Sims 2 is available legally for Mac users, and it's even updated to be 64-bit. The collection is called "The Sims 2 Super Collection" and it's available on the Mac App store for $30. Obviously this still leaves Windows users hanging, but it is a legal way to acquire a download of TS2. Sadly it's missing the expansions that were never released for Mac, but that's understandable.
It's also sad the only legal version is missing apartment life and freetime. It really does play like butter (I have the Mac super collection on my Mac mini and a high seas version of the Ultimate Collection on my Windows 11 PC). Both play super smooth on modern Mac and Windows without issues. Sims 3 has ISSUES. Sims 3 is treated like a golden child these days and really mods and fans have optimized it for better gameplay. EA is really good at producing messed up games that the fans fixed. The Origin version of Sims 2 worked fine before they pulled it off Origin. Any excuse about it being too hard to fix is full of it. I have Sims 1 running on Windows 11....a much older game. And it took about 15 minutes and a little help from a videogame archive site to get it running. I am sure all of Maxis/EA could get Sims 2 running just fine if they wanted.
As someone who is in a large sims 2 group/community, I can attest to how incredibly exhausting it can be to support help/fix/solutions for people who are not tech savvy and especially with all the different combinations of mods that can break the game it would just be an absolute headache for EA support to try to do this for tens of thousands of people who would download and look for support for sims 2. Also yes, Sims 2 is a great game made with tons of love and attention in comparison to newer versions so I would agree a motive of lazy and fear.
The fact that she mentioned the petition I was checking in so often is really great. It’ll get more attention and I’m just all for it. Hopefully Juno Birch will see it and get more people signing it woop woop
I hope you get to get your hands on it one day! I was lucky enough to get it during that free time period. I just got a picture of the disc version of The Sims 2 off of google and sent it to EA customer service and they gave me a free copy. I hope they bring it back soon though so people can play this gem. 😞
@@karisima6060 that's a douche move lol No wonder they don't wanna deal with customer support asking for the game with fake proof. Yeah you can make the argument that it's a big company, they don't have the heart to care for their customers blah blah but you should have a soul. I would say that giving you an another version of a game you owned for free (even if it was already given away for free) is a very nice move, not many companies do that. And yeah there will always be jerks that lie. And you might feel like if you did own the game in past and you didn't anymore at that point, you should have been still able to receive it and sure that's a valid feeling but look, if you don't have a photo to copy, the copy machine won't be able to copy it. I probably should be that mad about something I feel is dishonest if it didn't hurt anybody. But it's not nice.
@@Pavlinka__ Please, calm down. It’s not that deep. My sister and i had an actual copy of the game and the expansion packs in disc form. EA has plenty of money...

I recently bought the Sims 2 and the Sims 2 Nightlife in a thrift store for like 4 euros but I would love to have more packs. I'm so sad that I didn't know I could get it for free a few years ago :(
The sims 2 was the first sims game I ever played and I LOVED it. I stopped playing as a teen and then when the pandemic started last year I decided to start playing again with the sims 4. It's just not the same, and maybe it's because I'm not a kid anymore but I would give anything to have the sims 2 back! I loved that game so much, the gameplay &lore was great
This makes me feel so bad, cause years ago before the sims 4 came out, I wanted to play it on my own computer and got the sims 2 double deluxe. I didn't even realize till recently that I have been playing the past few years with the full collection since that update thing. And now people have to try so hard to get the game... Just aint fair if you ask me.
What’s funny is if Cindy was to actually go on Origin, SimCity 2000 and Siberia are actually outselling The Sims 3 and it’s packs 😂 There’s no way that The Sims 2 would outsell The Sims 3, so that person was correct. BUT Origin didn’t filter by sales back in 2014, so we have no idea how The Sims 2 was selling or not, so the reason they took it off is still a mystery. According to SimsWiki, the PSP version of the Sims 2 was taken down the same day, which is super weird. Maybe there’s a song in them they couldn’t be bothered removing so they just pulled it?
