Looking for a new game to play? Well you can get The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection on PC for free, right now! All you need is a PC and an Origin account, and you could be playing around with the lives of your Sims for the rest of the summer holidays.

The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection comes with the main Sims 2 game and all the expansion packs like University, Nightlife, Open For Business, and Pets. This is hundreds of hours of game and you won’t have to pay a penny. You’ll need EA’s Origin service first, so download it from Origin.com. Install it to your PC and then make a username and password to use it. Then when you have Origin open on your PCs desktop, just click ‘Redeem product code’ in the main Origin menu (it’s up in the top left of the box) and type in I-LOVE-THE-SIMS into the box. And hey-presto, you now own The Sims 2 and every expansion pack!

Be quick though, the game is only free until July 31st, so you only have a week to download it. But when you have downloaded it, it’s yours to keep forever.

And if you love The Sims 2, you may be interested in The Sims 4 which comes out later this year. To check out all the best stuff on the new game, take a look at our The Sims 4 stories.
