what i haven't seen the sims community here talk about yet is the current state of ea. it's not good, to put it plainly. ea's biggest cash cow ea sports has severely underperformed. veilguard was a critical failure. ea's stock is iirc at a 5 year low, and it fell overnight after their latest report. the value of ea plunged something like 6 billion dollars. it's insane. as we're speaking we're getting news from studios like bioware being gutted with huge layoffs (trick weekes has been laid off btw).

i do think it's important to consider the yet to be confirmed ts1 and ts2 re-release in this context. i think it's ea's hail mary that they can put out with relatively little effort because well, the games are already made. i don't think ea will meaningfully improve compatibility with newer systems and that it will probably be on par with what you get with osab's installers (which for ts2 easily installs the whole collection for you, together with graphics rules maker which you need to get more resolutions, recognize your graphics card, etc., and lazyduchess' launcher which has many small improvements of its own, including 4gb ram patch).

i'm not going to try to tell you that playing these old games is an easy plug and play solution. it isn't. no old game is as the march of time and technological progress often times leaves old games unplayable without community effort. the ts2 community has been wonderful at keeping the game alive. the current biggest hurdles to accessibility such as pink flashing may not be fixed in this re-release. i just hope that people consider that this is a desperate cash grab of a company that will probably soon be going down the path of ubisoft.

reminder that EA is still a struck company

in light of the sims 1 & 2 re-release, i wanna make sure others know that SAG AFTRA has requested that nothing be purchased from EA until they negotiate and come to a contract agreement with the union.

you can check this page for more info and any news updates that come up. when the contract is voted on by union members, there will likely be notices here and on sag aftra's social media.

via NYPost: Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to launch a “big f–king operation” across sanctuary cities — including Chicago and New York — immediately after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, multiple sources told The Post.

Starting Jan. 21, multi-day “ground operations” will be launched across cities that have served as safe havens for migrants because the local authorities do not cooperate with the federal government when it comes to immigration issues, sources said.
