I can't wait to play sims 1 and 2 now with microtransactions. Just what it was missing

And yet I somehow have a very nagging feeling that they screw it up somehow. Either some expansions missing, lincensed content packs (like the Ikea one) not available or some financial decision that will bleed any fan dry more than anything.
- They gave people who could prove they had Sims 2 the Ultimate Collection on Origin and... you are correct. It was missing content. I see no reason that it won't still be true.
  Heck, for The Sims 1 there was a ton of official stuff that you had to download from Maxis's website. Some of it is lost media.
  
  Not sure about that last bit. IIRC all of the EA TS1 downloads are archived pretty extensively, across many fan sites and the IA for good measure.
  Then again the last time I checked was probably over a decade ago.
- They better at least allow more resolutions for the Sims 1. I'm not gonna play a 1024x768 game on a 4K display.

Well, that's good, because I don't have an analog PC.
- Right? As if any physical medium used in modern computing had been analog.
  The only one I can think of is the Datasette, which was released in the late 70s..
  
  Well, there's also software on vinyl! I think Techmoan has something on that.

Wow, fun. 3 had so many improvements over 2, but some things that were so fun about 2 got left behind in 3 as well.

The question is, have they gone in and fixed the big sources of corruption in the game... or is it just gonna be the same ol' slightly broken Ultimate Collection?

I might get Sims 2 just for nostalgia if the pricing is not too high. These are old af games and not even remastered so they shouldnt cost too much, right EA? right?
