I believe this is because the Great Game Guarantee doesn't apply to DLC.

Both SIms and Sims 2 have crashed on me multiple times :( I've also had glitches in Sims 2 that I didn't have in the Ultimate edition. I hope they fix it, but there's no excuse to release broken 20+ year old games!
It was crashing for me too but I think it’s cause I was trying to start a new world. I haven’t experienced any crashes when just playing with the existing worlds in sims 2. Everything’s been going good so far. I’ve been able to create new families and all.

Pleasant sims has assaulted a pregnant woman. She has (maybe had) a video on her vlogging channel admitting to assaulting her husband’s pregnant mistress. She makes rape jokes and disparaging remarks about Hispanics and Ethiopia, steals, there is so much…

I'm glad they are doing something noteworthy for the 25 year anniversary, since I have played since day 1, however I have already paid for all of the sims 1 and sims 2 games as they were originally released, I'm annoyed I have to pay again to play games I already own.
Yeah me too. £35 is a bit steep for a 25year old game. Even £25 seems a lot more affordable for a lot of people. Oh and it is 25th anniversary so would have been nice to make it that amount lol
@@kayosplash i had a lot of issues downloading sims 2 and at this point i dont even know how i succeded, but its an ultimate edition and it works flawlessly, thank God.
@@mfknkaren considering the cost of living crisis £30 is absolutely not 'a steal' for some people. Especially to buy something you already own. What late stage capitalism hellscape kinda bullcrap is that.. please, just no. They are being greedy.
its nice that both games are back on screen but am i the only one who dislike we have to PAY again? ik its not that much but ppl who already owned the ultimate editions etc... such a slap in your face IMO.
You could get sims 2 for free from old games. It was abandoned. Idk how this affects it though, but I didn't have to head to the high seas in order to get it. And you can get ikea stuff as separate download there. Again idk how them adding it back changes things though.
There’s also the Sims 2 RPC which has everything plus options for improving playability on new machines and some stability improvements. A bit complicated to set up but there’s a helpful tutorial.
Not Cindy/PleasantSims being mentioned as the "Queen of Sims 2" 💀 She really isn't. I guess Satch isn't up to date with all the messed up things that happened around her. 😬
Played a bit of both yesterday and man I can’t describe how I felt… I was always weary of getting it from other sources so I’m really happy they did this.
Bless. I was waiting to hear your thoughts before giving into the urge to impulse buy. They also totally knew what they were doing when adding those kits, especially the Grunge one, in as a bonus. They know their demo 😂
No but why did literally cry when I started sims 2 again, I didn't realise just how happy it would make me and how much it'd transport back to the first time I set it up 😭😭😭😭😭
@@alanarama I also cried, full on sobbed actually, when I reinstalled it last year (free download from old games) so I totally get it. I thought sims 4 was so joyless because I was just getting older but it turns out I wasn't the problem, sims 4 was!
I'm not buying any of that again. I already own them and yes it's on disc but I am NOT repurchasing what I already own. For those who have the money to do so, good on you and I hope it works well enough.
@@sasapsaful By easily accessible I was more referring to the fact its all in one place ready to download. You don't have to hunt the discs down + buy a disk reader to be able to play the game. I would go as far to say the £35 price tag isn't even that bad considering you're getting 2 games PLUS sims 4 content. Its probably the same amount you'd pay hunting the sims 1-2 discs down on ebay + purchasing a good disk reader. The only reason the sims 1-2 were free in the first place is because they were ripped and people were pirating it after they discontinued selling it. If you want it for free? You always have that option.
@@stinkmeaner8189 They left out the Ikea pack with that one as well. But they didn't just give it away, if you owned 2 and had registered it then you got it, but it was mostly just a way for people to use Origin. I'll be honest, I don't want to have to use the EA app, I've avoided it all these years because I had the discs and that's a big one for me.
Cant even get Sims 1 to start, hope there will come a patch bc a lot of people seem to have the same problem😭 was so hyped for it, i played it so much as a kid
Found this on the EA Forums which worked for me: "If you have an NVIDIA graphics card, go into your NVIDIA control panel < Manage 3D settings. From there, find The Sims 1 Legacy (if it's not listed, add it) click on the drop down menu < select Integrated graphics then exit. It will ask if you want to apply the current settings, click yes"
Bought them both. Never played either of them before, but I have watched CallMeKevin's videos on The Sims 2 countless times and really wanted to check it out. Cannot wait to play it.
I won’t be buying the sims or the sims 2 again and especially after reading so much about crashing and bugs. Why re-release it, when they didn’t fix some of the known bugs? Don’t get me started about that the re-release is only optimized for windows 10 & 11 *crying in my MacBook *
Pink soup is definitely still a thing happening with this new version (sims 2 Tumblr has been experimenting lately, it seems that someone fixed things with running with dxvk but we dunno if it's a one size fits all sitch) I think this rerelease is great for reporting bugs tho! I'm still sticking with my ultimate collection since I feel like I sacrificed many brain cells towards it but I love that there's new people joining the community!
Don't you just love when they bring back abandonware, act like they made it compatible with modern PCs (when in reality so many people report crashes and bugs) and charge for it? And setting up either Sims 1 or 2 on Win 11 and in my case 3 years old PC was quite easy. Have I overdone the water in Sims 2? Yes. Does it look pretty? Also yes. But it was after initial set up so I'm not counting it 😂
Well, I was wrong. I absolutely expected them to sell each of the packs separately. I'm very happy to be wrong in this case. I think the price they charged for the games with all of the packs (as well as two Sims 4 kits) was absolutely fair. Color me shocked.
@ I personally played the Sims 2 for hours and didn’t have an issue. I hope there’s a patch for people who did. If anything, I couldn’t save families with the free version they dropped awhile back.
It would be reasonable if this was a remaster and not just a re-release. Many people have been reporting crashes and glitches that were supposed to be 'fixed' by EA but for some reason (most likely incompetence) are still present in the games. It saddens me that EA put so little care into bringing these games back, it almost seems like this wasn't tested at all before the release.
I have all of The Sims 3 on disk & most of The Sims 2 on disk. I do happen to have the Sims 2 IKEA Home Stuff disk. I remember it used to take hours to load all these disks. I have always had the low-end computers then later on low-end laptops. I still use a low-end laptop now & it works fine most of the time. I know I also own The Sims 1 on disk, but it's at my sister's house. I'm just too excited for these!!
I got the Sims 1 and it was honestly laggy as hell on community lots and then when I switched households it crashed on me. I haven't opened it back up again, I'm hoping that they are going to fix it. And since they're hopefully going to be releasing fixes for 1 and 2 again I really hope they release some fixes for 3
Both the Sims 1 and 2 were released before I was born and i could count my age was a single digit when the sims 3 came out. My first sims game was sims freeplay (mostly because of the free part) but I am very much a sims 4 girly. I recently got the sims 3 (and love it) and am very curious about the oldest sims games. Would love to see a play through of these satch!
it's clear they had fun making that trailer it's the best thing they've come out with in the past 10 years. gives me hope too. it WOULD have been nice for them to fix at least the time discrepancy in ts2, but... sigh...
@@eemie_ the weird timezone was also what was bothering me Like you go to community lot at 1 0,clock then it's like 5 0,clock if you decide to go home just to see it's 1 0,clock just like when you left the house to go to the community lot except your needs bar are like red when you return home I wished they atleast fix that one
I got it 4 hours ago and spent all that time playing already (Sims 2). Such a trip down memory lane and so fun! Love this game, even with how old and clunky it is being 20 years old... It's amazing haha 🎉
I had to look into the Great Game guarantee to get a refund a while back. And they said something like all DLC is not part of the guarantee (meaning, I couldn't get my refund). But that might be the reason. The sims 1 and 2 bundle is treated as a base game, not dlc. Though it's honestly hilarious that they don't describe their DLC as great haha
9:47 what do you mean ridiculous files😭 all you had to do for ultimate collection is to change the graphic rules file, the rest like clean ui and stuff was entirely optional
yeah you can tell sartch is kinda playing up how bad sims 2 optimization is. it really wasn't bad whatsoever, and I play on a Acer laptop... also it was VERY rare to get pink soup, at least for me, and I never even had to compress my mods either. I don't like how he's portraying Sims 2 UC as an optimization nightmare
literally i downloaded mine for free and didn’t even have to do anything because it was all already bundled with the install I downloaded it literally works great for me and I haven’t had to do any work 😭 it confuses me how people seem to struggle so much with sims 2
I am SO excited about Sims 1!! I didn’t grow up with Sims 2 but I was 9 when Sims 1 was released and my dad got it for my brother and I. Oh the memories! My brother is excited because I’ve tried going through a bunch of stuff to try to download it online for free for years and it can work but then eventually something would happen and we wouldn’t be able to get on it again. Now we can have it forever as long as nothing happens to my account or if they eventually take the game off for good
There is really no reason to move from variations you already have to re-releases. These are important only for players who don't already know TS and TS2, and I wonder for how long those used to TS4 will play TS before getting a nervous breakdown.
I only got sims 2 cause I was afraid sims 1 wouldn't work even though I have a pretty good gaming laptop , so far I'm happy with my choice. Sims 2 only crashed at the first load up but I loaded it again right away and no issues yet. I'm having so much fun learning how to play and exploring this game. Never played sims 2 before so I'm definitely experiencing trail and error as a player 😂
I was one of those that were legacy into sims 2 digital download since I still had all my discs. Never had much of an issue running it outside the shadow thing which was just a setting adjustment. However I've never gotten sims 1 to work at all on modern computers...so happy to have this back. I've so missed all the zany sims 1 things...I'm off to buy lizards!
Tbh endlessly disappointed there's no mac port. If indie devs can make their games available on both PC and mac, then I see no reason why EA cannot make mac ports for these games.
The Sims 1 and Sims 2 is still crashing unfortunately, there’s loads of reports on EA’s website. I still got pink soup in the Sims 2 yesterday when it snowed on my lot (I never experienced it before but upon doing a bit of research today I realised this is one of the things they were supposed to fix….typical EA) I’m also getting constant error reports in game, usually relating to when a sim gains an interest point. At the moment I’m just pressing the reset button which pops up in game, saving immediately and hoping for the best. Either way it’s still crashed for me 5 times…disappointed but not surprised 😂
I am happy people can play them easier now, my husband got them for me and I’m very happy he did! I only played the Sims 1 on console, never on computer! It’s been a lot of fun playing it
I just had a dinner date with Malcolm landgraab and I forgot how seamless eating out use to be 😭 I know some people are struggling with sims 2 but I haven’t had an issue yet at all no freezing no lag no crashing no bugs it’s perfecto
I am so happy there is a rerelease. I was not able to get the sims 2 ult collection back in 2014 and have been searching to get it ever since and here it is 😭🤭☺️
Satch! #1 I love watching your content on both channels. #2 I have a theory that they only re-released Sims 1 & 2 so that we could get our fix and stfu about The Sims 4. They know people are going to get tired of it and miss SOME of The Sims 4 convenience features. It’s a really pimp move 😂😂😂
I remember watching my friend play Sims 1 when we were in high school and I was so jealous cause I didn't have a computer capable of playing it. And my first Sims game was technically MySims Kingdom on Wii before I got Sims 4. I'm excited to try Sims 1 & 2!
I have the Sims 2 complete edition from when they gave it away for free. My son just built me a new gaming computer and I downloaded it to see, and it still works just fine for me. The only issue is they get this black square under their feet, but there's a setting you can change that gets rid of it.
The Sims 2 is running like a dream on my PC, but I just can't get The Sims to load, I've tried several times to no avail :( It's stuck on the packs loading in, it's loaded some but it's stuck on Vacation.
The Sims 1 didn’t open at first without downloading an extra program for it on my high performance computer, but when I tried using the Makin Magic features, it crashed. So. Very nostalgic. Still don’t get to play Makin Magic after all these years 😂
I couldnt even start both of the Games, they just crash immediately, and none of the fixes posted about online worked for me. I got a refund, but i‘m still sad - i was really excited to play Sims 2 again!
as someone who has every pack for the sims 2 on disc, this really urks me. I cant play the game without having to add mods to my game, it simply wont run properly, i dont have an old computer either. I'd love to finally load up the game i have already purchased without anything needing to be added but i can't justify paying again for the same game i already have ;-;
I understand you, its frustrating, but they had to change the game to work in new pcs, so its not "the same". They are a company, idk why people were expecting them to give it for free :(
@@kawxii I think it would be cool if they did something for the people who paid for the game and all the packs and still use/play them, but I understand why they did this as a company. As someone who played the sims as a teenager and never picked it up again until the sims 4, this is exciting for those of us just looking to be nostalgic.
I am SO excited for this! I miss the sims 1 so much. I still play sims 2 but mostly 3. But I haven't been able to get the first game. I still remember going to the game store to buy sims 1, I was 18. It took up 100s of hours of my young adulthood. I will be downloading even though I hate paying EA. I hope it's as fun as I remember.
so happy! i do have the g4tw ultimate collection of sims 2 but I happily paid for this version because yeah, it's a total headache and full day event trying to get the other one working nicely. I also tried installing the Sims 1 from disk but can't get it to run on windows 10, so i'm happy to purchase this!
I haven't had any crashes or issues at all with either sims 1 or sims 2. I played them both all day yesterday. I did make sure to delete all my old "free" version sims 2 stuff and restart my computer before installing the EA app version.
It’s broken already. Me and lots of other people have installed it and get an error code that can’t be fixed. I’ve just spent £35 for a game I can’t play :(
I never got the opportunity to play The Sims and The Sims 2. I got them, and played The Sims 2 for 3 hours yesterday, never a Sims game run so smooth in my computer so I'm happy tbh 😂

Same!! This is a complete rip-off for long time players!
I'm glad they are doing something noteworthy for the 25 year anniversary, since I have played since day 1, however I have already paid for all of the sims 1 and sims 2 games as they were originally released, I'm annoyed I have to pay again to play games I already own.
They are considered abandonware, u can dl them online for free no hassle!
In all fairness it is all sims 2 games for 30. All expansion. Considering inflation that's a steal even if it's free to download on some random site.
Yeah me too. £35 is a bit steep for a 25year old game. Even £25 seems a lot more affordable for a lot of people. Oh and it is 25th anniversary so would have been nice to make it that amount lol
@@kayosplash i had a lot of issues downloading sims 2 and at this point i dont even know how i succeded, but its an ultimate edition and it works flawlessly, thank God.
@@mfknkaren considering the cost of living crisis £30 is absolutely not 'a steal' for some people. Especially to buy something you already own. What late stage capitalism hellscape kinda bullcrap is that.. please, just no. They are being greedy.
its nice that both games are back on screen but am i the only one who dislike we have to PAY again? ik its not that much but ppl who already owned the ultimate editions etc... such a slap in your face IMO.
Yeah, my problem is that I already paid for them previously. 🤷♀️
Yea nah, don't give them the money lol. Both of those games are still available FOR FREE on old game preservation sites.
You could get sims 2 for free from old games. It was abandoned. Idk how this affects it though, but I didn't have to head to the high seas in order to get it. And you can get ikea stuff as separate download there. Again idk how them adding it back changes things though.
There’s also the Sims 2 RPC which has everything plus options for improving playability on new machines and some stability improvements. A bit complicated to set up but there’s a helpful tutorial.
Not Cindy/PleasantSims being mentioned as the "Queen of Sims 2" 💀
She really isn't. I guess Satch isn't up to date with all the messed up things that happened around her. 😬
This 25th anniversary is already eating that ugly hot tube for breakfast, and it's not even over!
*Hot tub, sorry!
@@federicoferrara8189ROFL don't change it, though. 😂
@Ad1nfernum As a non-native speaker, I don't get it. What's so funny about my mistake?
It sounds like an innuendo
@@federicoferrara8189 What wolf6195 said. "Eating hot tube for breakfast" sounds like someone trying to describe something dirty.
Played a bit of both yesterday and man I can’t describe how I felt… I was always weary of getting it from other sources so I’m really happy they did this.
Bless. I was waiting to hear your thoughts before giving into the urge to impulse buy. They also totally knew what they were doing when adding those kits, especially the Grunge one, in as a bonus. They know their demo 😂
yes. so want to buy this but then again, might be wise to give them time to debug. Typical EA
my fav sims is sims medieval ngl. It's god tier. Perfect .
it used to be on the app store
i think i played sims medieval more than sims 3 fr
Oh I disagree. It was fun but so repetitive!
I bought the bundle to have both 1 and 2 and omg I was up so late last night just living my best 90s/00s days
The Sims came out in 2000, its almost a mandela effect at this point but maybe you're thinking of SimCity?
@@TombRaiderSyd what are you talking about the op said they bought the new bundle???
the 90s and early 00s were realy the best days !!
@ They said they're living their best "90s/00s" days but the Sims wasnt out in the 90s.
No but why did literally cry when I started sims 2 again, I didn't realise just how happy it would make me and how much it'd transport back to the first time I set it up 😭😭😭😭😭
@@alanarama I also cried, full on sobbed actually, when I reinstalled it last year (free download from old games) so I totally get it. I thought sims 4 was so joyless because I was just getting older but it turns out I wasn't the problem, sims 4 was!
Not the Cindy mention 😭😭 we don't claim her anymore
Sadly agree! She used to be my favorite Sims TH-camr.
Spill the tea. What happend???
@@NanaIsMyNickname What happened with Cindy?
@@tiffanygilbert8188 wait what? I loved her videos did something happen?
@@paola3127 you’re not going to find it on YT. It’s too much/too sad to summarize in the comments.
satch ngl i´m screaming because we got them back but i´m HOWLING because i get to watch you play with it and be chaotic haha
I'm not buying any of that again. I already own them and yes it's on disc but I am NOT repurchasing what I already own. For those who have the money to do so, good on you and I hope it works well enough.
IM SO SAD ITS NOT ON MAC I HOPE THEY RELEASE ON MAC WITH ALL THE PACKS INCLUDING THE INES THAT WERE NEVER AVAILABLE
EA, Like the amateurs they are, accidently released the master key. Mac versions are already being worked on by modders.
Sorry to say but mac is not really a gaming pc anymore.
@@MellaniePlays They were never meant to be for gaming in the first place.
@@MellaniePlays yeah but not everyone has a computer just for gaming
I’m thankful now everyone can easily access such amazing games.
Easy -40$, are you joking?
@@sasapsaful By easily accessible I was more referring to the fact its all in one place ready to download. You don't have to hunt the discs down + buy a disk reader to be able to play the game. I would go as far to say the £35 price tag isn't even that bad considering you're getting 2 games PLUS sims 4 content. Its probably the same amount you'd pay hunting the sims 1-2 discs down on ebay + purchasing a good disk reader.
The only reason the sims 1-2 were free in the first place is because they were ripped and people were pirating it after they discontinued selling it. If you want it for free? You always have that option.
@@LexstraThat’s not the only reason they were free. They gave out the ultimate version of sims 2 for free when they discontinued it
@@stinkmeaner8189 They left out the Ikea pack with that one as well. But they didn't just give it away, if you owned 2 and had registered it then you got it, but it was mostly just a way for people to use Origin. I'll be honest, I don't want to have to use the EA app, I've avoided it all these years because I had the discs and that's a big one for me.
except mac users :(
Cant even get Sims 1 to start, hope there will come a patch bc a lot of people seem to have the same problem😭 was so hyped for it, i played it so much as a kid
Found this on the EA Forums which worked for me:
"If you have an NVIDIA graphics card, go into your
NVIDIA control panel < Manage 3D settings. From there, find The Sims 1 Legacy (if it's not listed, add it) click on the drop down menu < select Integrated graphics then exit. It will ask if you want to apply the current settings, click yes"
@@frostglow same to me dose it work after that
@@frostglowtried it but it still doesn‘t work. But thank you😕
@@KatharinaBellicso innocent. You followed official EA advice and expected results 😢
Hope you all get it working. Regardless of how crap EA is.
Bought them both. Never played either of them before, but I have watched CallMeKevin's videos on The Sims 2 countless times and really wanted to check it out. Cannot wait to play it.
I hope he makes another sims 2 vid
I won’t be buying the sims or the sims 2 again and especially after reading so much about crashing and bugs. Why re-release it, when they didn’t fix some of the known bugs? Don’t get me started about that the re-release is only optimized for windows 10 & 11 *crying in my MacBook *
Pink soup is definitely still a thing happening with this new version (sims 2 Tumblr has been experimenting lately, it seems that someone fixed things with running with dxvk but we dunno if it's a one size fits all sitch)
I think this rerelease is great for reporting bugs tho! I'm still sticking with my ultimate collection since I feel like I sacrificed many brain cells towards it but I love that there's new people joining the community!
I’m so excited for ts2 to be relaunched! I played the game for hours! Such a nostalgic moment I couldn’t stop playing. I had no issues with my game
Don't you just love when they bring back abandonware, act like they made it compatible with modern PCs (when in reality so many people report crashes and bugs) and charge for it? And setting up either Sims 1 or 2 on Win 11 and in my case 3 years old PC was quite easy. Have I overdone the water in Sims 2? Yes. Does it look pretty? Also yes. But it was after initial set up so I'm not counting it 😂
My childhood dream: buy all the expansions from the Sims and the Sims 2.
Absolutely YES to more Sims 2&2 gameplay. I would love to see Shanice and Shantelle experiencing multiverse time travel ❤
Well, I was wrong. I absolutely expected them to sell each of the packs separately. I'm very happy to be wrong in this case. I think the price they charged for the games with all of the packs (as well as two Sims 4 kits) was absolutely fair. Color me shocked.
Yes please do TS1 and TS2 let's plays, actually I would love to watch a whole series!
I have the Ultimate Collection and I'm going to just keep that, but bought Sims 1 and it crashes every ten minutes. :/
yeah they put stuff as fixed in the patch notes that are absolutely not fixed lol 😂 theyre stuck in their sims 4 ways
the fact it's 40 dollars for both is i'd say reasonable
Especially considering the packs are included for both.
Idk. Sims 2 was free before. Idk why yall are happy to pay for something that doesnt have a flawless launch.
@@RavanaMuseYeah, but it looked like hot garbage, imo.
@ I personally played the Sims 2 for hours and didn’t have an issue. I hope there’s a patch for people who did. If anything, I couldn’t save families with the free version they dropped awhile back.
It would be reasonable if this was a remaster and not just a re-release. Many people have been reporting crashes and glitches that were supposed to be 'fixed' by EA but for some reason (most likely incompetence) are still present in the games. It saddens me that EA put so little care into bringing these games back, it almost seems like this wasn't tested at all before the release.
Commenting before watching, I've been waiting for your video on this bc your reviews are the only ones I really trust
I have all of The Sims 3 on disk & most of The Sims 2 on disk. I do happen to have the Sims 2 IKEA Home Stuff disk. I remember it used to take hours to load all these disks. I have always had the low-end computers then later on low-end laptops. I still use a low-end laptop now & it works fine most of the time. I know I also own The Sims 1 on disk, but it's at my sister's house. I'm just too excited for these!!
Just FYI, PleasantSims has zero interest in the game. She does not want to engage with her channel/Sims fans. She abandoned her channel awhile back.
@@katiedidd7825 this! She’s just obsessed with herself now 😅
Yes!! Her new content is like: several tutorials on mopping the kitchen floor, or switching all the lights in her boyfriend's house because reasons.
I got the Sims 1 and it was honestly laggy as hell on community lots and then when I switched households it crashed on me. I haven't opened it back up again, I'm hoping that they are going to fix it. And since they're hopefully going to be releasing fixes for 1 and 2 again I really hope they release some fixes for 3
This is amazing, the only depressing thing is, this shows that they are listening to the fans but ignore many things we wanted...
I’m so glad to see this video!! I’ve been watching other videos about the rereleases, but I’ve been waiting for your thoughts before I buy the bundle!
Both the Sims 1 and 2 were released before I was born and i could count my age was a single digit when the sims 3 came out. My first sims game was sims freeplay (mostly because of the free part) but I am very much a sims 4 girly. I recently got the sims 3 (and love it) and am very curious about the oldest sims games. Would love to see a play through of these satch!
it's clear they had fun making that trailer it's the best thing they've come out with in the past 10 years. gives me hope too. it WOULD have been nice for them to fix at least the time discrepancy in ts2, but... sigh...
@@eemie_ the weird timezone was also what was bothering me
Like you go to community lot at 1 0,clock then it's like 5 0,clock if you decide to go home just to see it's 1 0,clock just like when you left the house to go to the community lot except your needs bar are like red when you return home
I wished they atleast fix that one
@@leontineketting97 yeah it's the one thing in sims 2 that's like... glaring. sucks cause the game is otherwise great.
I got it 4 hours ago and spent all that time playing already (Sims 2). Such a trip down memory lane and so fun! Love this game, even with how old and clunky it is being 20 years old... It's amazing haha 🎉
I vote more videos about how sims 2 is better than 4 so I can feel validated
I had to look into the Great Game guarantee to get a refund a while back. And they said something like all DLC is not part of the guarantee (meaning, I couldn't get my refund). But that might be the reason. The sims 1 and 2 bundle is treated as a base game, not dlc. Though it's honestly hilarious that they don't describe their DLC as great haha
9:47 what do you mean ridiculous files😭 all you had to do for ultimate collection is to change the graphic rules file, the rest like clean ui and stuff was entirely optional
yeah you can tell sartch is kinda playing up how bad sims 2 optimization is. it really wasn't bad whatsoever, and I play on a Acer laptop... also it was VERY rare to get pink soup, at least for me, and I never even had to compress my mods either. I don't like how he's portraying Sims 2 UC as an optimization nightmare
literally i downloaded mine for free and didn’t even have to do anything because it was all already bundled with the install I downloaded it literally works great for me and I haven’t had to do any work 😭 it confuses me how people seem to struggle so much with sims 2
I am SO excited about Sims 1!! I didn’t grow up with Sims 2 but I was 9 when Sims 1 was released and my dad got it for my brother and I. Oh the memories! My brother is excited because I’ve tried going through a bunch of stuff to try to download it online for free for years and it can work but then eventually something would happen and we wouldn’t be able to get on it again. Now we can have it forever as long as nothing happens to my account or if they eventually take the game off for good
There is really no reason to move from variations you already have to re-releases. These are important only for players who don't already know TS and TS2, and I wonder for how long those used to TS4 will play TS before getting a nervous breakdown.
Yes, definitely want to see you do a sims 1 and 2 let's play. :D
I only got sims 2 cause I was afraid sims 1 wouldn't work even though I have a pretty good gaming laptop , so far I'm happy with my choice. Sims 2 only crashed at the first load up but I loaded it again right away and no issues yet. I'm having so much fun learning how to play and exploring this game. Never played sims 2 before so I'm definitely experiencing trail and error as a player 😂
I was one of those that were legacy into sims 2 digital download since I still had all my discs. Never had much of an issue running it outside the shadow thing which was just a setting adjustment. However I've never gotten sims 1 to work at all on modern computers...so happy to have this back. I've so missed all the zany sims 1 things...I'm off to buy lizards!
Tbh endlessly disappointed there's no mac port. If indie devs can make their games available on both PC and mac, then I see no reason why EA cannot make mac ports for these games.
The Sims 1 and Sims 2 is still crashing unfortunately, there’s loads of reports on EA’s website.
I still got pink soup in the Sims 2 yesterday when it snowed on my lot (I never experienced it before but upon doing a bit of research today I realised this is one of the things they were supposed to fix….typical EA)
I’m also getting constant error reports in game, usually relating to when a sim gains an interest point. At the moment I’m just pressing the reset button which pops up in game, saving immediately and hoping for the best.
Either way it’s still crashed for me 5 times…disappointed but not surprised 😂
I am happy people can play them easier now, my husband got them for me and I’m very happy he did! I only played the Sims 1 on console, never on computer! It’s been a lot of fun playing it
I just had a dinner date with Malcolm landgraab and I forgot how seamless eating out use to be 😭 I know some people are struggling with sims 2 but I haven’t had an issue yet at all no freezing no lag no crashing no bugs it’s perfecto
Oooo a Lets Play would be a good idea of these two old games I bet that is going to bring back some good old memories!
I'd love to see a Sims 2 cc finds video since I'm struggling a bit with it :D
They should have made them an HD remaster. Rather than trowing the old version to buy without any improvements for modern pc.
That trailer was giving fever dream
I am so happy there is a rerelease. I was not able to get the sims 2 ult collection back in 2014 and have been searching to get it ever since and here it is 😭🤭☺️
I’ll be honest, I was genuinely expecting them to be charging this much for the base games only.
I started with The Sims 3 so it’s great to see that the older games actually work now. So excited!
Satch! #1 I love watching your content on both channels. #2 I have a theory that they only re-released Sims 1 & 2 so that we could get our fix and stfu about The Sims 4. They know people are going to get tired of it and miss SOME of The Sims 4 convenience features. It’s a really pimp move 😂😂😂
Omg, my teenage years came back with the Sims 2
I remember watching my friend play Sims 1 when we were in high school and I was so jealous cause I didn't have a computer capable of playing it. And my first Sims game was technically MySims Kingdom on Wii before I got Sims 4. I'm excited to try Sims 1 & 2!
I have the Sims 2 complete edition from when they gave it away for free. My son just built me a new gaming computer and I downloaded it to see, and it still works just fine for me. The only issue is they get this black square under their feet, but there's a setting you can change that gets rid of it.
I can confirm the pink soup glitch still exists, I had no idea what it was and it freaked me out and I finally found out today what the bug was called
OMG YOURE A KINGDOM HEARTS FAN I LOVE THAT SO MUCH YOU HAVE SUCH GREAT TASTE
The Sims 2 is running like a dream on my PC, but I just can't get The Sims to load, I've tried several times to no avail :( It's stuck on the packs loading in, it's loaded some but it's stuck on Vacation.
Loved this video! Just ordered a new laptop can’t wait for it to arrive so I can get sims 2!
dont buy sims 1 it broken i have to get refund for not open game
It worked for me perfectly
@ your lucky I tried everything to get it to work
I had to deinstall all old downloads of all old sims games and then reinstall to make it work
It does not launch for me, it'll appear on the Taskbar and immediately close
@@tatianazimina7266 I tried so many time opening it and still nothing I want know if anyone having problems on steam mine on ea app
I love Sims 2, I was playing around yesterday in the Caliente household and not long after had a burglar sneek on in 😂
The Sims 1 didn’t open at first without downloading an extra program for it on my high performance computer, but when I tried using the Makin Magic features, it crashed. So. Very nostalgic. Still don’t get to play Makin Magic after all these years 😂
I couldnt even start both of the Games, they just crash immediately, and none of the fixes posted about online worked for me. I got a refund, but i‘m still sad - i was really excited to play Sims 2 again!
So excited about this! I still have all the original discs for the pc 😂 just can’t bring myself to get rid of them 😂
I remember this game so much! The only thing I see on steam that is left out is "Sims Pets" (????)
as someone who has every pack for the sims 2 on disc, this really urks me. I cant play the game without having to add mods to my game, it simply wont run properly, i dont have an old computer either. I'd love to finally load up the game i have already purchased without anything needing to be added but i can't justify paying again for the same game i already have ;-;
I understand you, its frustrating, but they had to change the game to work in new pcs, so its not "the same". They are a company, idk why people were expecting them to give it for free :(
@@leleite1I mean they used to give it for free lol. So why not do it again lol
@@kawxii I think it would be cool if they did something for the people who paid for the game and all the packs and still use/play them, but I understand why they did this as a company. As someone who played the sims as a teenager and never picked it up again until the sims 4, this is exciting for those of us just looking to be nostalgic.
I love the Kingdom Hearts wallpaper! Thats my all time favorite game lol
I loved the trailer, it was so fun to watch
I am SO excited for this! I miss the sims 1 so much. I still play sims 2 but mostly 3. But I haven't been able to get the first game. I still remember going to the game store to buy sims 1, I was 18. It took up 100s of hours of my young adulthood. I will be downloading even though I hate paying EA. I hope it's as fun as I remember.
bahaha seeing "sims 3 - 11 addons" and then "sims 4 - 91 addons" right next to it kills me
Sims 1 won’t open for me :( I hope that it gets fixed asap.. sims 2 runs just fine though for me!
so happy! i do have the g4tw ultimate collection of sims 2 but I happily paid for this version because yeah, it's a total headache and full day event trying to get the other one working nicely. I also tried installing the Sims 1 from disk but can't get it to run on windows 10, so i'm happy to purchase this!
I’d love a sims 2 let’s play! Idk how playable the sims 1 actually is other than just for nostalgia but the sims 2 has it all
Sims 1 is chaotic and creepy but I love it. First time playing Sims 1 but Sims 2 did it for me as a kid so I was too happy to hear about this bundle.
I haven't had any crashes or issues at all with either sims 1 or sims 2. I played them both all day yesterday. I did make sure to delete all my old "free" version sims 2 stuff and restart my computer before installing the EA app version.
Sims 2 lets play But Brandi broke rags to riches.
It’s broken already. Me and lots of other people have installed it and get an error code that can’t be fixed.
I’ve just spent £35 for a game I can’t play :(
I never got the opportunity to play The Sims and The Sims 2.
I got them, and played The Sims 2 for 3 hours yesterday, never a Sims game run so smooth in my computer so I'm happy tbh 😂
I've read several times today that "pink soup" is in fact NOT fixed for some people
Would LOVE to see a lets play and to see if the game still truly functions the same in terms of game play.
