Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2.14/day in the week to Sep 15 → 4.75/day in the week after.

Ich liebe Sims 2 einfach schon immer und freue mich wahnsinnig, dass es endlich wieder spielbar ist!
The best sims game but this version is just a glitch and crash fest unfortunately

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 5: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Was great for 10 mins then just time stops and can't resume and crashes. Sad was looking forward to sharing this with my kids !
It crashed when I click on Belladonna Cove for a fourth time!! Do not Install this "Game" play Sims 3 instead.
never expected EA to release a new playable version of the sims 2, always wanted to try it. now i see why people always say this is the best one. it feels like an actual game, rather than a broken glitchy dress up doll simulator with a political agenda **sims 4**
[i]The Sims™ 2 Legacy Collection[/i] runs relatively seamlessly on modern devices in spite of some graphical errors that may appear in some playthroughs, such as poor rendering, but it is overall tolerable enough to be overlooked. This game in the series is by far the most sandbox-oriented; most neighborhoods are bare and encourage the player to manually add commercial, residential, and community lots, as well as neighbors to fill those lots. On its own, the base neighborhoods are bland, with only a few short stories about them and a handful of residents. Aside from these minor details, these areas offer few opportunities and activities for the player's Sims. This does little to justify the dozens of hours spent exploring, building, and growing the lineage. Nearly all DLCs are included with this edition, except for the [i]IKEA Home Stuff[/i]. Players must go to great lengths to add them, navigating the archaic user interface. It is never a good sign when an expansion doesn't naturally integrate into the game's world. Instead, the player must place various persons, places, and objects to make it function. As a result, it is easy to forget what a game has to offer, since so much content is missable due to its subtle implementation. Though expensive, [i]The Sims™ 3[/i] does a better job of providing players with neighborhoods (or worlds) lively enough to consider building upon and has natural instances of DLC content appearing with little intervention from the player. Let this shallow sequel return to Electronic Arts’ shovelware bin untouched, with that said.
não recomendo o jogo porque eu não estou conseguindo jogar, ESTOU COM PROBLEMA PARA JOGAR O JOGO, SE ALGUEM SOUBER ME AJUDA NOS COMENTARIOS. estou tentando jogar ele no linux, tentei varias versões do proton, tentei ver no protondb e aparentemente meu hardware deveria suportar o jogo ja que o 4 roda sem problema. se alguem souber de algo ou tiver algum dica por favor me ajuda queria jogar the sims 2 o maior problema e o problema que esta impedindo eu de jogar é que não passa do carregament e quando passa demora muito tempo, esta demorando tanto tempo que o gnome esta acusando que o programa travo e parou de responder. somente o the sims 2 esta com esse problema , tinha testado o 4 e carrega normalmente e rapido, não sei porque isso esta acontecendo, tentei olhar no protondb e nenhuma das dicas esta funcionando e nenhuma das correções. o the sims 2 ja tem muitos loadins mas antigamente não era assim e o jogo roda e o sistema acusa ele de não responder
Terrible! The game crashes, doesn’t save changes. Once my Sims came back from a community lot and their house had disappeared!!! Why is a game that’s already so many years old being sold again BY THE DEVELOPER FOR MONEY and works worse than unofficial versions?? SHAME ON YOU! You wanted to make it convenient, but in the end you broke everything. Makes me wish for the days of discs: bought it, put it in, and everything just works. Give me my money back!
A lot of people talk about crashes, I've had maybe one in the past 48 hours of gameplay. EA fixed a lot of bugs people were experiencing on modern hardware. Highly recommend
sims 2 strangetown and castaway were my favorite back in the day
