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 → 5.43/day in the week after.

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 · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 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.

Can't play the game at 1080p because it will automatically put itself to a lower resolution without ability to adjust it myself since all resolution options are for some reason greyed out. After some research I can tell this issue has been around for more than a year and people from EA have said on their forums back then they were working on a fix for this issue that would drop in a future update. However as I said it's been more than a year and I can't see any fix for this. Also I would love to point out that this version still runs at 32 bits. I don't think it would be much of an effort if they recompiled it to play at 64 bits, unless they've lost the source code. Shame of a port, moreover since I always wanted to own this and The Sims 1 on Steam. UPDATE: After surfing the web I found out that to fix the resolution error you can find the Sims2EP9.exe file, right click on it, choose Properties, Compatibility and there click on Change DPI, mark the two selectable options you find inside and make sure the last drop-down menu is set to Application. Confirm changes and start the game. Thanks to whoever provided this fix on PCGamingWiki <3
Bring back good memories of playing when I was younger. Loading time varies but it does feel a bit faster and smoother. I do experience some initial lag when loading into the household but eventually the frame rates stabilises. I've also not experienced any crashes (except once at the opening video) so take it as you will but my advice would be to save before leaving the household.

muito bom
Came back to this after several years and still enjoy it just as much as when I was a kid! It's so chaotic and entertaining, while incorporating wholesale family dynamics. Definitely still worth sinking hours of time into.
