The one instance where that was noticeable was an area where you had to get a lit stick of dynamite from Point A to Point B. It played just fine on Windows XP, despite not being designed for Windows XP. Kings Quest IV is such an example of a game that worked on a newer system but wasn't optimized for it. If they had optimized it, they would have dealt with the shadows issue. EA made the game able to play on Windows 8/8.1, but they didn't optimize it. Well, my original TS2 base game, NL, AL and BV disks wouldn't work on my 8.1 PC, but when I asked for the UC it worked flawlessly.ĭid you get past the installation step with the discs?Īlso able to work on an OS and optimized are two different things. And as long as Origin gets updated, the installer will be updated. And installers can have compatibility issues with operating systems as well. The ONLY difference between the individual copies and UC is that the UC has a modern installer instead of the older installers. I highly doubt they would have optimized it without touching the graphics card area. EA just bundled the Base Game, EP's, SP's, and patches together and released it. UC still has the shadows under the Sims indoors problem. UC is probably optimized, unlike the disks. Yep, that's the only way to get TS2 on Windows (without having to use physical copies which aren't guarenteed to work on newer software). After asking for my origin account, the guy gave it to me on the spot! It's worth trying! asked where I could buy a digital copy of the UC. That would be nice if TS2 would be on sale on Windows because people are interested in TS2 and most people use Windows which makes things better.ĭo you have the UC? I went on a live chat with EA about three months ago.

In addition, the old Sims 2 games have issues with versions of Windows past Windows 7 (Windows 8/8.1) and like what said The Sims 2 UC as well as The Sims Stories have the black box under Sims bug.Īlso I've heard on Wikipedia that The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection could be released as a retail product but I haven't heard anything from EA or the SimGurus about this.

Also the Super Collection has support for newer video cards plus 4K support, the Windows version didn't get either of these. Otherwise, there's no other way for Windows users to get TS2. It's said that it's still possible to email EA to get the Ultimate Collection.

Remember when EA removed The Sims 2 off of Origin? That made it impossible to buy TS2 which is annoying if you wanted the other games or you wanted a download version so at that time, your only option was to buy used copies from Amazon and ebay. No offensive to the Mac Simmers on The Sims Forums. This is barely understandable for Simmers who didn't get The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection (or they lost their old CD/DVD copies of TS2) but want to get TS2 again. Something that doesn't help is that there's no way to get the Windows version so if you don't have a Mac, you're basically screwed.

The problem is most PC users don't have a Mac. TS1 on the other hand also lacks a download version for either PC or Mac. And for Windows users, this is the only The Sims game not available on Origin or elsewhere. Both Mac and PC users can still buy SimCity 4 but only Mac users can buy The Sims 2.

Aspyr released The Sims 2 Super Collection around the same time which allowed TS2 to be ran on newer OS X versions since Lion-onwards dropped PowerPC App support thus not allowing TS2 to run anymore. However, until August 2014, people could get The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection which I did but the game could no longer be obtained. The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories games on Windows used to have download versions but both have been removed. You want the Windows version? Too bad, you can't buy the Windows version anymore (unless you want to buy the used copies of TS2). The Sims 2 is on sale but only on Mac which is The Sims 2 Super Collection.
