The Sims 1 + 2 Legacy Collection Hits Lowest-Ever Price in EA Summer Sale

Earlier this year, the Sims franchise celebrated its 25th birthday in a big way. Along with some new updates to The Sims 4, EA launched new legacy versions of The Sims and The Sims 2. Despite being extra buggy at launch, these nostalgic re-releases captured the attention of many Sims fans. Now, The Sims 2 Legacy Collection is on sale for its best-ever price, along with many other exciting titles from across the Sims franchise.
