Heads up for you guys: EA is actually doing something halfway decent for a change. Until the end of the month you can download a digital version of The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection for FREE. This is mainly being done due to EA officially retiring the game in the lead up to the release of The Sims 4.

Granted it will require that you have an Origin account. I know for some that may be a deal breaker but I myself figured why the hell not. Already had the account because of Dragon Age and Madden and frankly if EA is actually being somewhat charitable then you can bet your ass I'm going to jump on it

Here's the link with the step by step details if any of you are interested:
