The Sims 2 is still under copyright, and thus downloading it is piracy - people who say otherwise are incorrect, though it is a commonly held belief in the Sims community that downloading abandonware is not piracy. Although such software is usually still under copyright, the owner may not be tracking copyright violations". As per Wikipedia "Abandonware is a product, typically software, ignored by its owner and manufacturer, and for which no official support is available.
The Sims 2 is abandonware on Windows, but this is not a legally recognised term. All of the information relevant to playing Sims 2 on MacOS is in that section - the rest of this section is only relevant if you play on Windows (including on Windows through Bootcamp or Parallels on a Mac). You will find the download link for the Ultimate Collection in this section, please have a read through the preceding paragraphs first! The Sims 2 Super Collection (MacOS Only) Why do I need to apply so many fixes to play the game?.Why would I break the law when I can buy UC online?.Making A Backup / Uninstalling Old Versions Such As Discs.Oldgamesdownload / MrDJ / repack Missing IKEA Stuff Pack.Ultimate Collection Direct Download (Web Installer).Downloading & Installing The Sims 2: Ultimate Collection (Windows only).The Sims 2 Super Collection (MacOS Only).Well, the unfortunate thing is that the Ultimate Collection ONLY runs on Windows. (Now you might be wondering why you don't just contact Origin right now, get the Ultimate Collection, and install it on your Mac as is. (You might face resistance, but just be persistent, and offer to show a picture of your game collection/etc)
If you have a copy of the Base Game's CD, once you download Origin on your Windows partition, you can contact Origin's online support and they can gift you the Ultimate Collection. Luckily for you, you have the Sims 2 CDs. What I wound up doing is uninstalling the Super Collection on my Mac to make more room, and moved a bunch of extra stuff to my EXT HD.and then installed the partition. Windows itself takes up a bit of space, and the Ultimate Collection is ~12 GB. The first time, I allocated like 45 GB.and it wasn't enough. So, as you run the utility, it'll ask you to allocate space on your HD for Windows. So, basically, what you do is run Boot Camp Assistant (it comes already installed on your Mac), and you essentially install Windows on your computer. :( The only thing you can do is set up a partition with bootcamp.
