It will, however, continue to offer for support to those who contact the company for help, but the game as it exists today will remain unchanged going forward (with the exception of user-created mods). When support for the title ends, players will, of course, still be able to play it (and new players will still be able to purchase it), but EA will no longer release content or technical fixes for the game.
Origin users simply need to click on the “redeem a product code” in their Origin client, and enter the code “I-LOVE-THE-SIMS” to receive their free game. It’s been ten years since The Sims 2 first launched, and though EA is pulling the plug on official support for the title, it’s sending it out with one last hurrah, giving away the “ Ultimate Collection” version of the game, which contains all 18 expansion packs, absolutely free on Origin.
The Sims 2: Ultimate Collection is absolutely free on Origin right now, and contains 8 expansions and 10 “stuff packs”.
