According to EA, January 2026

Thoughts of a potential remaster lead one to wonder how many packs will be included in the base game and what the base price of the remaster would be. It would be weird to go back to the beginning and play without the expansion packs, but since the EP is over $1000, would any be included or would players be expected to pay for them again? The Sims 2 Legacy Collection it contained most of the expansion packs, but they are no longer available and almost 20 years have passed since then The Sims 2 received its final DLC pack. EA would have to put a lot of thought into this matter to make it work. Fans who have already spent hundreds of dollars on the game will most likely not be willing to spend money on the same content.
