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.

Genres
Sums Steam only; Xbox, Epic publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

damn.....the sims 4 sucks
the game worked fine ONLY FOR 5 HOURS! I am disgusted that you release a game not considering the future gen computers, I tried every method from adjusting compatibilities, to running as administrator, to even downloading graphics ruler changer, and NOTHING WORKS! For a company who created good games in the past, you created so called "Legacy edition" without considering HOW THE WORLD MOVED FORWARD SINCE WINDOWS XP! I am disgusted I cannot get a refund because I exceeded 2H thinking the game works fine. DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR TRAP LIKE I DID AND BUT THEIR GAME!

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.

It's so much better than The Sims 4 it's unreal. You're not crazy. The new game is so boring it made me fall asleep. Sims 2 instantly had me immersed. Shame on modern game devs and publishers.
Eu vi muita gente falando que o jogo tem dado problemas. Felizmente não foi o meu caso. É uma pena que essa versão não tenha o pacote da IKEA e alguns outros pacotes de objetos. The sims 2 é de longe o melhor the sims da franquia, os gráficos para um jogo de 20+ anos são bem firmes. A jogabilidade é ótima, a atenção aos detalhes é absurda, as animações e quantidade de possibilidades dão uma surra no TS4.
Can't believe I paid money for an OPTIMISED version just to have it crash every 10 minutes...
It crashes
I tried to run The Sims 2 three times and only ONCE did I make it to the menu to start the TUTORIAL where it then crashed trying to load it. Refund requested.
Worked perfectly fine, now it is buggy since weeks and the last two weeks it is crashing out when returning to neighbourhood without actually saving. No solution from EA in sight, despite numerous complaints from other players over WEEKS.
ซื้อแบบ 25th Birthday Bundle เหลือราคาไม่ถึง 6 ใบแดง ในช่วงเทศกาลลดของ EA ทดลองเล่นทั้ง 2 ภาคให้ข้อมูลประกอบการพิจารณา ดังนี้ (ขึ้นอยู่กับเสปคคอมแต่ละบุคคลด้วย) ภาคที่ 1 ทดลองเล่นไป 40 นาที เล่นได้ไม่หลุด ไม่กระตุก แต่เล่นแค่ 40 นาทีเพราะ ระบบความต้องการลดไว ตามฉบับของเกม (สำหรับคนที่เคยเล่นยุคก่อนจะรู้ดี) ติดอยู่อย่างเดียวคือ เวลาเลื่อนขอบจอไม่ไปบ้าง ภาคที่ 2 ทดลองเล่น ปรับทำความเข้าใจกับมันไป ใช้เวลาเล่นไป 2 ชั่วโมงกว่า ยังคงความเพลินได้ดี ไม่หลุด ไม่กระตุก ปัญหาตรงเลื่อนจอไปด้านขวา โดยใช้เมาส์มันไม่ค่อยไป กำลังหาวิธีแก้ไข * ย้ำ เด็กยุคใหม่อาจจะหงุดหงิดกับภาคเก่า มันไม่เหมือน The Sims 4 เพราะไม่หวือหวา ทำอะไรหลายอย่างไม่ได้เหมือนภาคใหม่ๆ แต่อยากลองเปิดใจเล่นดูก่อน และขอย้ำว่า เรื่องเล่นได้ ไม่ได้ ต้องดูองค์ประกอบ สเปคของเครื่องคอมของคุณด้วยนะครับ :)
Terrible optimization. Game crashes. Save your money and get Paralives
