#SIMS 2 ALL EXPANSIONS FOR FREE#
Thanks to Jordi for writing the original version of this FAQ.By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot'sĪ decade after its release, Electronic Arts is giving away The Sims 2 for free through Origin-along with every single expansion and stuff pack ever released.ĮA recently announced it would end support for The Sims 2, meaning it will no longer release content or technical fixes for the game.

#SIMS 2 ALL EXPANSIONS UPDATE#
I get the error message 'Cannot update file (filepath) when updating! If your game data files have been altered or corrupted in any way, you may need to repair them to patch. See here for more info: Getting Custom Content to Show Up. Enable custom content and restart your game. I lost all my custom content after patching! Installing a patch can reset the custom content flag. The game uses the files for all expansion packs or stuff packs you have installed, and therefore you need to make sure all of them are running on the latest version by installing the patches. For example, Open for Business is a newer release than University, but you do not get access to the University features unless the Uni expansion pack is also installed. Why do I need to patch every single expansion or stuff pack? Is it not enough to just patch the most recent release? You need to patch all releases because every new expansion is added on top of the older expansions, but it still requires the other releases. A patch for an expansion or stuff pack does not patch the older expansions/stuff packs.

I have already patched my game with the last expansion/stuff pack patch, and also own older expansions/stuff packs. It does not matter in which order you do this.
