The Sims 2 elevates life simulation with rich character depth, generational gameplay, and expansive customization. Its storytelling possibilities and engaging life cycles create endless replayability. Some UI quirks and occasional pathfinding issues exist, but they don’t overshadow the charm and depth. A definitive entry in the series that set a high standard. 9.4/10

This is, without a doubt for me, the best video game ever created. It’s truly a masterpiece—if you haven’t played it, you definitely should.

This is a review of the re-release of The Sims 2 Legacy Collection. The UI is a blurry mess, countless new and old bugs. Pink stripes line the edges of UI thumbnails (hello, The Sims 3 64-bit on Mac), crashes are frequent, sound quality is poor, content has been cut, pets disappear, and beaches are broken - the list goes on. The game is simply unplayable. They managed to ruin something that wasn’t even broken, something that could have been fixed with just one tool - Graphic Rules Maker - and a simple mod that FIX shadows. That’s it! Yet, somehow, they still made sure to put their names above Will Wright in the credits. This is the end.

Selling for 30 bucks what 11 years ago you were giving away for free, without any fixes? Are you serious? EA lazy af.

Oyun, temel anlamda yeterli seviyede olsa da genişleme paketleriyle daha iyi duruma geliyor. Firmanın zamanında Ultimate Collection adında DLC'leri ücretsiz vermesiyle oyundaki yapılabilecek aktivitelerin sayısının artması güzel bir gelişme oldu.

Es una autentica barbaridad los detalles y opciones que tienes en este juego, yo creo que es el mejor juego de la saga.

This is a masterpiece. It should be in history books. I remember playing this as a preteen. It is great for long road trips. I love keelhauling cards.

The Sims 2 com certeza tem as melhores expansões! (apesar de poucas)
Não contando pela quantidade mas sim a qualidade que ela tem!
Sem falar os detalhes desse jogo que são únicos!! As histórias, os looks, as personalidade!
Meu Deus, como eu amo esse jogo S2S2S2S2

It's mediocre compared to the third game. I played it a bit in the past and it was boring.

The base of the sims original, with beautiful graphics and more options beyond your house. Also good as house builder and with a terrible DLC politic

Вважаю це найкращою частиною серії ігор. Через умови гри, яких нема у нових частинах.

The Sims 2 was released back in 2004 and is still today a fun game. The Game has many details and is very realistic. The physics are great aswell.

I love this game and it's my absolute favorite! I feel I have to take a point off because of corruption issues and glitches but there are ways to avoid corruption. It's an incredibly fun and addicting game! I've played so much sims 2, years, and I still learn new things about it and the gameplay!

After the great success of The Sims 2 with the Nightlife, Open for Business, University expansions, it was undoubtedly one of the best games in The Sims series. The expansions were great and always brought new content to the base game.

O jogo da minha vida, fico triste de pensar que a EA abandonou ele e a única forma de ter ele para jogar de forma "legal" é comprando o CD, porém hoje em dia os PC's mais novos não tem leitor de CD, por isso eu amo The Sims 2 e ODEIO a EA Games

В своё время это была игра прорывом в симуляторах, ровно до выхода достаточного количества длс в третьей части

I fell in love with The Sims 1. One day EA started handing out the complete edition of The Sims 2 on Origin, so I didn't hesitate and immediately took the game. I did well. You can see a noticeable difference in graphics right after launch. The game looks a lot better and you have a lot more options to customize your Sim. The same goes for your house. But what is a huge plus is the ability to travel to other places and you do not have to be at home all the time. A pleasant diversification of the game. However, there is a ton of content in the game and it is a pity that a lot of it is part of the DLC, so you have to pay extra to make your gaming experience a little more varied. Besides, it's a great game and perhaps one of the best life simulators I've ever experienced.

The best one in the franchise, a truly masterpiece. It's a shame that The Sims 4 is so bad and compared to this amazing game it looks like a real trash.

This game gives me so much nostalgia. I remember playing a lot of this game but I wouldn't recommend it now

The second entry to the Sims series brought even more wacky tone and developed it greatly with very imaginative DLCs. Even more possibilities, even better music, even more Sims.

A great extension to the life sim universe. All the DLCs combined make it a perfect game

The Sims 2 is the very height of quality of the Sims franchise. It's better in every way than other products in the series. The subsequent games (review was written in the time of Sims 4 being on market for quite few years) have never even **** its potential. The game has many, many mechanics and everything is polished. It's very fun to play, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

2 часть принесла нам невероятную графику в игру, огромное количество новых фишек, предметов, юмора. Игра заслуживает оценки 10/10 и пополняет ряды шедевров!

A classic, recently rebought it with some expansion packs. game play 9: It depends a bit on how you play the game, generally Sims learn how you like to do things meaning even if you don't give them the orders to do something; they do what they think you would have ordered to do things. So it how smooth it goes depends on how you 'trained' your sim. Also love how you can get promoted as demoted for making the right/wrong decision at work. I do however notice I choose the military almost every time due to the salary and the chance of some really big cash at the top of your career, w/o having to use cheats or anything. The aging thing though is a bummer, I usually use cheats to put it off as I'm not interested in going for that green hourglass all the time to prevent aging. Graphics: 8, it's not a new game and this should thus come as no surprise; certainly if you'd compare it to the sequels that came out; though still extremely impressive for it's time; especially when you compare it to the prequel. Story 9. I've had some expansion packs so it's not building a home all the time; you can go out bowling, clubbing, doing groceries, go on vacation (very original) and I've even created some great additional tourist attractions in all holiday scenes; even creating an entire scene myself (inspired by The Loire; castle region in France). Also the hidden sheds with their quests at the holidays add really original features. Conclusion: 9. Still recommended for anyone that considers; even though it's age. But before you do, you might want to check out their sequels too.

Cuando las segundas partes no son sólo buenas sino que revolucionan, innovan y mejoran. Fundamental te guste o no la saga.

The best game of the series, the best idea. The best animations, the best story (yes it is there). And what's important, there was a soul in it.

My favourite game of all times, still so enjoyable and fun. This game has a very special place in my heart because it was the first sims game I played and the one I resort to when I miss the sims franchise. Sims 4 is just very lacking and sims 3 is too buggy to enjoy. The sims 2 is just the perfect combination of the two for me.

Probably the best Sims game in the entire series. Later games had too much bizarre and unneccesary stuff going on. Sim creation system was very advanced for the time. Graphics are nice even today.

El peor de la saga con diferencia. No hay genética, pantallas de carga infinitas, las expansiones fueron un continuo robo. No recomendable!!!

It was best game of that time. On series normally sims 4 is better now but it is more fun than sims 3. Masterpiece.
