Is Sims 2 still available?

Hi everyone.

 

I just checked EA’s website and it looks like Sims 2 is no longer available.

I do realize the game is some 16 years old, so it may even be classed as “abandonware” by now, but I thought I’d ask the question anyway.

EA actually removed the Sims 2 and all packs without letting anyone know. I logged in to Origin one day to download the ones I had purchased, but they had all disappeared. I like to install them all manually so I can use AnyGame Starter. EA did give me access to the Sims 2 Ultimate Edition, but wouldn’t allow me access to the packs I had previously bought so I could install them one-by-one.

If you can prove to them that you previously purchased a legitimate copy of the Sims 2, they may add the Ultimate Edition to your Origin account, but you can’t buy the Sims 2 original game or packs through them any more.

You may want to try eBay or Amazon if you want the base game.

Amazon Purchases

I just purchased all my Sims2 through Amazon, even though Ebay was cheaper, I found that a lot of the packs wouldn’t load. Amazon will cost more but they do run on even laptop computer, that is where mine is now
