How to Download/Acquire The Sims 2

You must purchase The Sims 2 from Steam or the EA app as it has been re-released.

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3314070/The_Sims_2_Legacy_Collection/

Prior versions of this page mentioned “Abandonware” which is no longer the case for The Sims 2, nor is it a legal term. The Sims 2 is available for purchase from EA.
