LEAK: The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 PC Rereleases (Countdown)

So is there any updated graphics or something like that or did they just made the game compatible for win 10/11?

I’m so exited!! Finally being able to play the old sims’ again will be AMAZING

Avons nous une idée du prix ?

Wait… so they aren’t going to be free re-releases like when they gave away the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection a while back? Tbh not sure how I feel about the possibility of having to pay for these old games that are A) just re-releases, B) have been given away for free once before (ts2) and C) have free starter packs that already makes them compatible with windows 10/11. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see for an official announcement.

unless it’s a remaster, this will only be a thing for lazy people who can’t bother to google their own solutions, because everyone’s been playing these games for years, including plenty of streamers/youtubers

So they may be charging people for… Doing what the community has been doing for years?

Both sims 1 & 2 is already compatible to windows 10/11. There’s plenty tutorials on how to update it to fit.

Well EA being greedy is nothing new.

If they have the audacity to charge for ts2 after giving it away for free for multiple years…

i’m very happy, the old sims games, i can play them again, so happy

I have The Sims 2 Complete Collection on my EA App account. I wonder if it makes sense to buy this version? I can play it smoothly on Windows 11. I’ve patched it with Graphic Rules Maker.

I hope the sims 2 will be free I would love to try it

twill make me sad when people start paying for something that’s easily free and has been for years.

Do you think they will update the „ultimate collection“ that came with the sims 4 release aswell? I am totally down to get ts1 😀

What sims 2 packs are being released?

Jovan ily but do you ever sleep? i swear you been updating for the last 18 hours

Could be also for ps5

omg! can’t believe it’s really happening!! 😀

I really hope The Sims 1 will be available for MacOS as well…

why??? bro I just have a Mac. ill cry

I figured they wouldn’t go through the trouble to make them Mac compatible, but it still super bums me out regardless.

I just want Sims 3 to be optimized and updated to 64-bit. I am not interested in the first 2 games anymore, although I do have Sims 2 Ultimate.

i’ve struggled to get the original sims operating through any work arounds on my mac for years. i’m so bummed to hear that there’s no news of these games rereleasing for mac users. is there no possibility these games will be provided through the EA app and be multi-platform??

Remember when they said they were going to take the past back I’m thinking that with these rereleases they plan on making other dlc for old sims… let’s wait & see

I did own all the sims 2 games and in my opinion would it be only fair if they would give them for free just like they did years ago (and I did miss that opportunity), same for the sims 1 but I only had that 1 for the ps2 (I was very young didn’t know what to do, so many sims did die).
But I would love to see a remaster of cast away

EA will be like: *slaps compatibility patches* tis will be $80 ur welcome guys i luv u

I still have TS1 running fine from my Complete Collection CDs and The Ultimate Collection also running fine on my PC. I can’t see myself paying again for games I already bought without any kind of upgrade, and these look like the bare minimum has been done to make them more “easily” compatible (even though they work fine already anyway lol).
That being said, if they make these compatible for Mac, I’d consider buying. My Mac is my main computer now, and I’d love to be able to play TS1 or the full TS2 (I have Super Collection but it’s missing 2 expansions and most stuff packs) on here.

Where would we go to download them ?

this is stupid! there’re going to charge us for old games that we already have on a damn disc!! I’m not even getting into this greedy mess.

No one here should have ever expected these re-releases were going to be free. We’re talking about EA here; you should know better by now.

Yes; you can play the original two games currently, but only after jumping through some technical hoops to make them work on modern PCs. I know; I’ve done it for both games more than once. If you figured out easier ways to make it work, that’s awesome for you.

It may not be the most difficult process in the world, but not everyone has the tech knowledge or the time to screw around with it. If people want to purchase these games, they should be able to do so without getting judgments and snarky comments. Let people enjoy things.

And no, that’s not shilling for EA or supporting a greedy company; that’s common bloody sense. And downvoting me for what I’m saying doesn’t make any of it less true.

I understand people pay for remasters/re-releases, but it’s clear that nostalgia is the price point for both games. That being said, an entire collection of content included in both games could easily excuse EA for getting people to pay $30-40 for each. Remember when the Sims 1 came out, it was listed at $49.99 and subsequent packs at $24.99! That’s $225 for the entirety of the Sims 1 Complete Collection. However, it won’t be nearly as much due to its technological downgrade. Most Sims 1 Complete Collection bundles online are usually between $20-40, so it seems likely that EA won’t be shy to go on the higher price point just because. It’s a difficult trade for lovers of the game to pay more for something they either already have or want to reminisce about. One thing is for certain: if successful, this is the biggest P.R. campaign that EA/Maxis has ever done to bring back its fanbase to their game. Will it work? I guess we’ll all see.

soooo is this on steam or EA’s horrible launcher only?

What platform it will be available on PC?

I hope this doesn’t mean the end of the opents2 project, and of the fix pack.

Typical of EA to only do a rerelease after leaving it abandonware for years and not a remaster. Honestly, I’d rather stick with the starter pack, they had better not touch it.

I have all the Sims2 expansion packs on cd, does this mean you have to pay again for the same game?

I can’t wait for the re-release of The Sims 1 and 2 I wish that they can re-release 3 for free.

Will it release on the EA launcher ?

Does anyone know if the DLC and expansion packs will be part of a big sims 1/2 rerelease bundle or will they be releasing it all separately and we’ll have to purchase/re-purchase everything?

i know it says for windows 10/11 but do you guys think there will be a workaround for linux operating systems like steam OS (for steamdeck)?

I will check it as soon got ready to test it for 7 days. Test it doesn’t violate EAGAMES EULA. Check it out!

Hold up, will I be able to play on my MACBOOK AIR?!! Please I was so looking forward to playing the OG sims again

I wonder with the new release of sims 2 if you will be able to reset the neighborhood by deleting the save file like how you can in sims 4. Sims to you would have to go into your program files in your computer and have to complete multiple steps.

Any word on prices?

I have Sims2 on my pc but I want to buy both so they are all on my account (EA App)that way if my eldest son wants to play his favourite Sims 1, I can just play the Sims 2 I have on my pc.

BOOM DIA, SOU NOVA NA AREA DO THE SIMS, EM QUAL SITE ESTARA DISPONIVEL PARA BAIXAR? SITE DA ELETRONIC ARTS É ISSO?

I hope its not gonna cost too much i would love play the sims 2 was my childhood

FINALLY I can play with a purpose. Freeplay on TS4 gets boring sometimes

As long as they don’t add anything unfavorable and the price isn’t astronomical, I’m for it (in fact, these games could have been released a long time ago and officially supported on new systems).

do we know if it will only be released on the EA app? I’ve got all my sims 4 stuff on steam. I’d understand it if they only put it on EA app, but I’d love for it to be on steam too
