Maxis, the studio behind The Sims, has been working hard to make the re-releases compatible with modern PCs, specifically Windows 10 and 11. However, they had to make some tough decisions: nix one expansion pack from The Sims 2: Legacy Collection due to licensing issues.

But why are we reliving these older titles now? Well, for one, it’s nostalgia. For many of us, playing as a child on a floppy disc was an unforgettable experience. Imagine reliving those moments with the same avatars you once played as—a feeling that could bring back fond memories and even laughter from days gone by.
