Sims 2 Ultimate Collection

[Heather]

So apparently EA is offering the entire collection free if you have/make an origin account and enter a discount code (redeemable until July 31st, details here). Has anybody taken advantage of this yet, or planning to? I don't own the full collection myself, so I'll definitely be looking into whether my laptop can handle running the full set.

Also, if anybody has done this and has tips/advice for transferring files from a physical copy over to it, please let me know.

Only available for PC
Why does EA hate me...
But if I ever do get a PC I know how it redeemed!

[Chase]

I believe it says in the FAQ that people with physical copies should have a guide on how to get it, around (I believe) today. (Although people with physical copies only have already been getting it)
I already have them all installed, but I might just get it for an easy clean install I've been having trouble with simple and other third party apps and ugh I hope this fixes it.

Just in case you want to change the box art in your Origin of it. Here is a sweet replacement.

To change the box art by the way just right click on the game

I have all of the CDs, didn't switch to digital until TS3 came out. But I would to have TS2 ultimate.

[Rad]

Downloading it as we speak. I ony ever had base game and OFB and rarely played them, so quite looking forward to it. I think Sims 2 sims are super-ugly but I don't want to download a crazy amount of CC like with TS3 so might have to restrain myself to skins only

[Simsimity]

I'm definitely grabbing this!

[Heather]

I've made myself an account and redeemed the free code. Haven't installed the game yet, though. Too lazy to uninstall my current games and then install the new collection. Especially given the possibility my laptop will not be able to handle it and I will have to reinstall my physical copies.

[Teresa]

I may never play it but I got it now! Thanks for the link, Heather.

I installed this earlier today buuuuut I'm having trouble with most of my mods.
I'm too lazy to search for a solution right now, much ugh.

EDIT!! So I reloaded up the game and everything is working now.
I'm not even going to question this sorcery.

[Jamesie]

The awkward moment when I get this message ><

Edit: Never mind I got it sorted and it's downloading ><

Thank you Heather!!!

[Heather]

No problem, guys! Figured there might be a handful of people on Boolprop who hadn't heard about it yet.

[Teresa]

It took all night to download and install, but it is there.

I think of switching to ultimate edition since mine doesn't recognize my graphics card properly...
Did anybody have the blocky water/blurry terrain problem yet?

[Heather]

I have that with my regular game, since I just have a basic integrated graphics card.

[mandarine]

Yeah, I just tried out the Ultimate edition and I still have blocky water and 800x600 resolution...I mean, yeah, that game came out 10 years ago. And EA cancels tech support in about a week. Why the hell won't they update their own configs?!! It's not that hard, especially if you're the forkin' programmer of the game @@

Did anybody have the blocky water/blurry terrain problem yet?

There is a solution for that hiding on MTS. That said, if your computer can't handle smooth neighbourhood textures, tweaking it might not be so good for it.

[DreamWeaver]

Got it!

[Jamesie]

With the ultimate collection, There is no bodyshop is disappointing, nor the sims2pack files, so it's unlikely that people can download sims and lots now.

[Akivara]

So from what I understand, you can download (or whatever) the game now and install it later?
