EA gave everyone who owned Sims 2 on Origin an "Ultimate Collection" earlier this month. EA have now expanded the offer so that everyone can get the game. All you need to do is download Origin, log in, and go to Origin > Redeem Product Code. Type I-LOVE-THE-SIMS in the field and you should now own the game and all the expansions.

Sims 2 is one of my favorite games ever, so I'm downloading the game as I'm typing this. This opportunity may also be the only way to get it digitally if you don't already own it as it's no longer sold normally on Origin, so I would highly recommend everyone to download it if you got even the slightest interest in the game.

Edit:

Here are the the solutions for probably the two most common issues.

First, my post on how to change resolution: "http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Sims_2 This tells you how to make the game run at any resolution you want. The path you want to go to is \Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\Config"

Another issue that you are likely to have on a modern graphic card are black boxes under Sims. It's the shadows of the Sims that are causing this issue and they can be turned off in the same file you changed resolution in. Search (Ctrl+F) for "option shadows" and under high settings change "boolProp simShadows true" to false. This will turn of the shadows on Sims but lets you keep shadows on objects.

Totally agree with the PC/Console. Not only are four out of the five PC nominees coming out console, four out of the five console games are coming out for PC. It's the dumbest.

Best action games could also be renamed to best FPS. All the nominees are FPS.

A movement on Reddit rigged it so everyone will win twice. All it takes is for one team to gain the lead with like 10 000 point for the other teams to give up and stop crafting. The winning team keep gaining points because everyone on that team will craft to have chance to win games.

I would rather see them make a new XCOM. The first game was a kind of crappy first attempt that could be much improved on by taking a close look at that Long War mod, abandon the idiotic decision to make aliens come in little groups that always gets to move first, and include semi-random maps.

Also riddled with the worst kinds of DRM. So I wouldn't recommend it.

Nothing intresting today, so I used one of the ten € I had set aside for today to buy cards for instead. No regrets.

Pink Team!

Time to put together a wishlist, I never use that function.

I have pretty much lost all interest in the kind of games that are first party exclusives, not that I liked them much in the first place. This E3 made my decision to not buy any of the next gen consoles really easy to follow through on.

Great guests this year. Although I think it would be better is if you tried to put people who are not completely fluent in English and/or some of the more reserved guests in the same groups. Sure there will still be guests that don't speak much, but I think it could be better if you did that. I also think that 6-7 guests are to many, try to keep it at 4-5 guest.

Yeah this is my big worry. I really hope what little shooting they did in the trailer was placeholder because it looked terrible unsatisfying and boring.
