You never know how a day will unfold in The Sims 2: Super Collection. You could spend this hilariously relatable life simulation helping your digital citizens find their dream job, fall in love, and have children. Or you might watch them melt down because they’ve been chugging energy drinks all day and you forgot to put a bathroom in their home.

The original Sims 2 was a bona fide blockbuster, providing seemingly infinite possibilities for building your perfect community or watching it riotously unravel. The Sims 2: Super Collection adds revamped visuals (including native support for Retina displays), improved performance, and six major expansion packs that were originally sold separately. Adopt an adorable golden retriever, take the family to a tropical resort, or head downtown for a night out. It’s your (virtual) life—live it to the fullest!

What we love: The unpredictable drama! Your Sims fulfill their wants and needs through rewarding work, fun hobbies, and plenty of social interaction, but things don’t always go as planned. They might get fired, freak out at a chess opponent who cheats, or wind up in a messy love triangle with the couple next door. It’s like a never-ending reality show where you’re the producer, director, and star.

Pro tip: Want to live a life of leisure instead of working for your money? Press Shift-Control-C to open the cheats console (a text field at the top of the screen), then type “motherlode” and press Return. You’ll receive a cool 50,000 Simoleons—no strings attached!

Meet the creator: Conceived by gaming legend Will Wright and California-based studio Maxis, The Sims 2 is part of a franchise that’s sold more than 200 million copies across various systems. The Super Collection was brought to Mac by Aspyr, the publisher behind Mac versions of the Civilization series, Borderlands 2, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
