The list of content that entails, as a result, is comically long: There have been eight expansion packs (which add new functionality and major features) and ten stuff packs (which, as you might guess, contain various stuff-primarily clothing and furniture) released since The Sims 2's launch in 2004. If you don't already have one, you can sign up for free. You have until July 31 at 10AM Pacific to redeem the code to your Origin account. To get it, simply open Origin, select the 'Redeem Product Code' option from the menu, and enter the code I-LOVE-THE-SIMS. That same collection is now being offered to all Origin users for free for a limited time. EA contacted Sims 2 owners recently, informing them of the news and offering a free upgrade to the newly created The Sims 2: Ultimate Collection. It will continue to offer for support to those who contact the company for help, but the game as it exists today will remain unchanged going forward (barring any efforts made by the modding community).
