The Sims & The Sims 2 Legacy Collections - Official Reveal Trailer

Love me the original games, just nice to have a stable way to play them. Added bonus both games works well on Linux via Proton. Available on both Origin, and Steam.

Ill just leave these here... Totally legit btw, I found these through archive .org originally.
The Sims 1
The Sims 2
I have the opportunity to repurchase a game I am literally holding right now but can't play? Hooray.
- Of course. It's EA we're talking about.
  These are the same assholes that when they bought Bioware, they shut down bioware's own official website where you were encouraged to store your game keys (for NWN, Jade Empire, SOTOR, etc) without informing any of its users that it was closing, and that your keys were going to be deleted, and then when you complained about it they just told you to buy the games again.
- Honestly I like the convenience and not having to mess around with fan patches and mods to just get the game to run well. Especially on Linux running these versions of the games is painless.
- I'm not sure about the sims 1, but my original copies of 2 and 3 work fine for me in wine on linux, so if you're on windows maybe you would be able to run your copy using boxedwine? Also maybe running the normal version of wine in WSL could work
- You can play it if you had the proper old hardware. Just dont connect that PC online.
- Ummm.... no. Outside of the Ikea DLC for Sims 2, they include all the DLC with the price.
Weren’t these released for free a few years ago? Now they’re trying to sell them again?
EDIT: Apparently that was a temporary promotional deal on Origin with the release of The Sims 4.
