The Sims 2 will no longer be supported by Electronic Arts.
EA has confirmed that it will no longer support the game with technical updates or new content packs.
Players will, however, still be able to contact EA Support if they experience any problems with the game.
As a thank you to fans, users who purchased and registered a digital copy of the title will receive all of the game's expansion and content packs as part of The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection.
"The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection is going out to gamers right now," reads an EA blog post.
"Everyone who had a digital copy of The Sims 2 will find the Ultimate Collection in their library within the next five days. Just log in to Origin and visit your My Games library."
