First of all, this topic is about The Sims 2, not 3.
Basically, I don't think EA will be coming out with a Complete Collection of Sims 2, like they did with the original Sims, because there is more money to be made selling the expansion packs a-la-carte, or the entire game in "three easy payments" of $19.99.
Not only that, but EA seems to have shifted all focus on the new Sims 3.
Thoughts?
A truly prophetic sig...
Generally when a sequel comes out, the company that made them stops paying attention to the old ones. I doubt the Sims 2 will be getting any kind of expansion or complete collection pack, because everyones playing the third.
You look nice today.

Cereal is pretty cool. If you're cool you'll add me on Steam. Also, Letterboxd.
Maybe in several years, when we're on Sims 4.
I'm not surprised or angry about it really. There is a lot content and memory to Sims 2 than Sims 1. I imagine a load of PCs still wouldn't be able to handle the whole set of Sims 2.

Maybe by then there will be a "Sims 2 Complete Pack" on Steam.

I assume that when you say "memory" you're actually referring to hard drive space. Well, hard drives today are generally cheap, and often times you can get way more gigs for only a few bucks more. So it's not that big of an issue.

BUMP!
As it turns out, EA has just released the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection on Origin, which contains the core game and every single expansion ever released.
It is only available to those who've registered their Sims 2 game(s), or purchased one or more Sims 2 games or packs through Origin. So check your Origin account if you have.
Anyone else got the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection in their Origin account?

You better be able to do this if you have the Double Deluxe version.

Is there anything that doesn't require Origin anymore? It's either jewel case DRM free or nothing for me.

Non-EA games.

So no games before or after 1993-2000?

Here we are, no word yet.

I don't see why not, we got people giving up like 70gb for WoW and it's expansions.
I got Tom to make a sig, bow down to me.

Yes, word.
Also, it turns out you can download the sims 2 ultimate collection on origin FOR FREE. I'll try it later to see if it works, but if it does, that's something I wouldn't expect EA to do.
