well its a demaster

[Romo]

-cutscenes are borked
-alien pregnancy is impossible because cutscenes are borked
-the sounds are all messed up. compressed to hell and back.
-they claimed pink soup is fixed but multiple ppl have had reports of it already
-change appearance causes crashes

please add any other negative findings you find here. honestly impressed how they managed to ♥♥♥♥ up the game even more lmao

[gliv]

Cutscenes work for me. Just tried Cassandra Goth wedding and worked fine.

The voices definitely sound robotic though - compressed.

[Jule's Jagdwurst]

I have the same issue with the cutscenes and the sound, but I didnt spot pink soup yet.

[Strawberry]

wait really? i have the UC collection but doing this to people who missed the chance at that is so stupid. Like i'm confused why they even did this?

[Yukiko ~Snow Child~]

I can't get my sims abducted even without cutscenes enabled. There's probably something glitched with alien abduction itself.

[GeeXviii]

How can you even play the game? The neighborhoods are missing for me and game crashes before I know it :( I also can't find the EA Games folder under Documents. She's a mess

[Romo]

oh another bug:

you cannot change your eyebrows in the mirror. that's right. the game will crash

[askamberk]

No Body Shop? No IKEA and we all know you can find all of this for FREE on Abandon. I bought it thinking it would have some updates and fixes but without Body Shop and seeing items missing whats the point?? I requested a refund.

they will fix the bugs, if your not happy about it then just wait for an update

And this kind of mentality is one of the justifications why the EA executive on duty decided to release this cashgrab.

And before you stalk my profile no, I don't own this release. I don't need to be covered in sh*t to know what that is.

Agreed! When did we just start accepting broken games? This game came out years ago! There is no excuse. Developers behind Sims now just don't have the same vibe. What SHOULD they have done? Come out with a remastered version that ISN'T broken but actually is better. Improved graphics, bug fixes, EVERYTHING included + a few updated items (outfits, lots, hair, music) cc creators do it daily but Sims just couldn't bother. Why is that?? because they have NO <3 just after that $$$

Any game breaking bugs on The SIms 2 need to be fixed quickly. What if some people will not buy The Sims 2 because of finding about this? This would mean less money for EA. CaS (including the creation of households and changing a sim's appearance) should not be causing crashes every single time someone enters it. I am just hoping that communication reaches EA and they do not ignore it, unless if they do not care about this game flopping due to mostly negative reviews on Steam. Just because many people have nostalgia of playing The SIms 2 necessarily mean that this re-release will be just as good as the original game if it proves to be more broken than the original which is currently not available on Steam.

I'm part of this boat actually. A bunch of people can't even get into the game (yes there are ways to fix this by YOURSELF). The point of paying for this is for the sake of simplicity and so you yourself SHOULDN'T need to tinker with anything. The game SHOULD be PLUG-N-PLAY. Sad to see really.

[OK]

I edited my comment by adding "Just because many people have nostalgia of playing The SIms 2 necessarily means that this re-release will be just as good as the original game if it proves to be more broken than the original which is currently not available on Steam." This is in specific reference to the CD version and another version that used to be available on Steam at one point before being removed that was free at one point for a limited time only.

Have you played the game? A lot goes into creating a character thats why they released the Body Shop. Without it you can't save a sim to be reused in other towns or saves. Why would I wait when I can get the fixed version for free? Did you know that Sims even released a free version back in 2014 (https://www.noobfeed.com/news/ea-ending-support-for-the-sims-2-but-offering-ultimate-collection-upgrade-for-free) plus there are plenty of sites online where you can get it free AND it's even improved on because Modders actually LOVE the game not $$
