i'm skeptical but i'm hoping it's true because damn it i've wanted Sims 1 and 2 on Steam for ages now. i'm not getting my hopes up but i am holding my fingers crossed.

I want 2 last time I played it 18 years ago ,aunt showed it to me lol yeah I played more 3 quote a bit

I hope it works. I got most of TS1 and all of the TS2 expansion. Now on my new computer I managed to install the gamne with all xp and it started great. Unfortunatly it crashes with in a few minutes. I tried with the 4GB patch, but not sure if I installed it correctly becouse it doesn't help. If I can get the games with all the expansions for the price of 1 new game I gladly pay it to get rid of all the hassle for a game that may or may not play anyway. I'm a bit hesitant though, as apparently TS2 issue is not a windows issure, but a hardware issue. TS2 ran fine on my old PC that had windows 10. (I bought it at the end of windows 7 and it was pretty good for back then, but eventually it needed to go in for repairs and despite I spesifically told DO NOT install a newer operating system, they did just that).

Good, do we have to pay.....again? If so, I wont bother

Basegame costing money does not necessarily mean it is not worth it. I do not expect it to cost more than basegame of The Sims 3 at full price which is only $20.

Speak for yourself.

We have all the paid sims games and dlc (sim tower, sims 1,2,3,4 life stories loaded on w10 and running beautifully. No need to rebuy anything, but if EA were to give sims 1 &2 for free, with bug fixes, I gladly take them off their mucky paws.

people pay for games multiple times when they wanna own them on this platform, on that platform, yet Sims 1 and 2 are not on any platform, at least not legally. and there are plenty of people who never played the OG games as well. buying them for the first time or rebuying them after 10 or 20 years having them on your desired platform working on modern hardware is not a bad thing to pay for.

What's with you people? Of course you'd have to pay again. These remasters require a lot of work to be optimized for newer systems, especially Sims 1, which was killed by a Windows 11 update and takes a million hacks to get to work. Your generation wanting everyone for free is why companies are cutting corners all the time and catering to whales.

They're not giving anything for free, nor should they, unless you want your experience at the hands of a third party client that blocks you from playing the game unless you're logged into an account, and is riddled with trackers that sends all of your info to shady companies.

I never owned The SIms 2 and was only 10 years old when The Sims (2000) first came out. I also did not have have that much money during 2004 when The SIms 2 first came out even though I was technically speaking old enough to play The SIms 2 upon release where I was not really old enough yet to be considered financially independent such as for example needing to save enough money combined with my two brothers to buy our first computer (although my older brother paid at least half of the expenses for new computer) instead of having a computer of my own until I started going to college. I remember briefly playing The Sims or The SIms 2 from a friends house a long time ago that took place only once, but I never actually owned any of those games.

i hope you get a chance to play both properly because even though they may look outdated and for some people that's a turn off they're a real treasure and have a lot of charm to them.

I will purchase them instantly, they have so much better music, expansions, atmosphere, backstories than TS3 and 4.

GoG release would be fair, a lot more than Steam

i personally want them on Steam, but i also want them on GOG because of their preservation program, so if they came out on both that'd be perfect and everyone would be happy.

Any word where they're being re released? I really want to play Sims 2 again and it's supposed to be happening today. Anyone know about the pricing either?

Probably early afternoon Eastern Time Zone if I had to take a guess. It is just strange that the countdown disappeared from Schluppdidupp's link. It is strange that the countdown disappeared, because I do not see The SIms 2 and The Sims yet from the store on Steam. Just be patient, because they should be coming very soon today. It would be embarrassing for EA if they do not fulfill their promise and would make them look bad if these games were to be cancelled or delayed.
