for free?? i had so many of those Sims 1 and 2 EPs. i think I threw out my DVDs of those games a few years ago. would have been cool to show which packs i had so long ago!
Same here… I still have the disc on my shelf and wouldn’t want to have to repurchase it considering how they love to throw the Sims 4 packs for free when many of us bought it on the release date.
Why would anyone be expecting anything new with a re release of a game that’s decades old? At most maybe improved graphics but even then that’s not often a thing with re released material. Plus it’s sounding like it’s free or at a much lower cost that it sold for players back in the day. Seems like a good deal all things considered. Sims 2 for me was probably the best though it did have its share of … quirks too.
I mean probably not because they’re just rereleases. In my opinion I don’t see the need to add anything new to the game since it’s an older game from the golden era. I just hope that they at least upgraded the graphics to match gaming PCs of this era.

So excited for pc players. Wondering if it will be available also on Steam? My eldest son when he was a kid loved TheSims. My favourite is Sims2 so it’s fantastic news!

if it doesn’t come out on consoles and mac what’s even the use? You can get them all on pc for free already if you know where to look…
im hoping they’ll update it to run more smoothly on newer computers, you have to jump through a ton of hoops to get the “free” version online to work on windows 11. i hope it comes out on mac too tho for my mac friends <3
on Mac as well, I have both working, and plenty of other 2004 2005 EA games on my Apple silicon MacBook
just download sims 1 complete collection and install through wine

Do we know what version of windows it’s compatible with yet? I have windows 11 and can’t play sims 3 because it only works on windows 10 and before.
Hello, sims 3 can work on windows 11, I use it without any issues. It was recently updated, so give it a try !

I didn’t want to believe it at first. Because this is just too good to be true with EA. But with all this evidence piling up, I can say I’m home. This year might just be the best year in gaming for me in well over a decade. I can finally play The Sims 1 with all expansions and on a modern PC. This will revive the modding scene for both TS1 and TS2 as well.

My Sims 2 has definitely had updated graphics when I loaded it around 15 minutes ago. They have done something already.

So that was a lie. No IKEA in sight, music missing, game doesn’t even work for most people.
We really gotta stop this copium that EA is ever going to be good again. It’s over.
I hope it comes for Mac

Me too
Me too… just going though a lot lately and it’ll mean a lot to me.
Everything will get better eventually mate, keep working on it!

I still have my CD keys written down from all my expansions but I don’t have the docs anymore 🙁
Will there be anything new in the games?
i’d like that too! but… knowing ea… probably not
