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.

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

Ich liebe Sims 2 , schon damals. Und daher fand ich es mega nice das es einen Remake gab sodass man es heute ohne Probleme wieder spielen kann :) Mir macht es immer noch sehr viel Spaß :) Sims ist einfach eine sehr schöne Simulation und total beruhigend :)
I have played 10 hours and its been on my page for as long as it released, I can't even play the game nor refund it as its past the strict refund requirements... The time I WAS able to play it was already almost unplayable. I can't recommend this cash grab of a game that never was truly patched according to my knowledge and gameplay on a really good PC

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 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.

This product crashed again and again, but it began after the first two hours of playing, so Steam initially refused to refund. After challenging this, they agreed to refund to my wallet, not to me myself as a "gesture of goodwill". TAKE GREAT CARE WHEN BUYING TO ENSURE IT DOESN'T CRASH ON YOU.
没人修改不了分辨率吗？？
Good value for the money. I had $30 worth of nostalgic fun the first couple of hours after downloading. I have not had any glitches or crashes, but I haven't added any CC or mods, either. I like Sims2 for the unique animations that are so endearing and so very lacking in all the other versions. If EA would combine the sim-animations of Sims2 with the CAS of Sims3, with the building features of Sims4, they'd finally have a version to truly be proud of. Yo. EA. What's keeping you???

This is by far one of my favorite games of all time. I've been playing this for like 20 years, and I still love it to this day. Pretty sure I wont get tired of it. So yeah, if you like life sim games, please buy this. 10/10
супер игра,ностальгия хотелось бы еще симс 2 жительские истории и про питомцев для прохожления
I don;t know why peoples see it with such rosey eyes because this is literal trash , there r soo many problems , everything looks wired + loading screens + buttons and icons r so small and messy trash + cheat system does not works properly and soo many more things , frankly am glad My first sims was sims 3 because this is just as bad as sims 4 . utter waste of money I paid .
The best sims game (and 3, but it IS up to personal preference ofc), and I haven't experienced the older issues of this legacy version.
better than sims 4 as always
