For people who grew up playing SimCity , the second in the series is the last game that feels like it has the unique sense of humor and personal touches from a revered studio. After reading all the responses from fans of The Sims 2 , I found myself with an unquenchable desire to revisit the game myself. On my first try loading up The Sims 2: Ultimate Collection , it crashed.
The second, third and fourth time, it also crashed. Here is a list of events which could possibly happen when The Sims 2 for PC lets the player take control:. In The Sims 4 and The Sims FreePlay there is an alternate timeline , meaning that things of the original timeline worked out differently. This alternate timeline possibly was created through the use of time travel with the time machine in The Sims 3: Ambitions and the time portal in The Sims 3: Into the Future.

It will display which expansion packs and stuff packs the player has installed, and will show a large play button. When connected to the internet, the launcher would also display news updates for The Sims 2 , as well as promotional material.
The news display has been discontinued due to the removal of The Sims 2 website, but the launcher still displays promotional material for other games in the series.
There is a delay between the time the play button appears and the time this promotional pane loads, and it is possible to click the play button before the promotional pane finishes loading.

Although a server fire did occur, it did not affect the game's development. It's also possible that the developers wanted it to be a sequel and not just a reskin with added feature that just feel like the Sims 1 but just with an aging system and that's it. Another possible reason is that the game especially the neighborhoods not having that iconic charm that we all known and loved today and that It lacks most of the key feature the sims 2 is now known for e. Aspirations, Wants and Fears, etc.
