You've got three more days to redeem your free copy of the classic life sim.

Free things are great. Free games are even better.

Until July 31st at 1PM Eastern, you can grab The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection for free – because why not! You don't need to have Origin installed, just an account. So, here's what to do:

• Head to Origin.com
• Sign into your account
• Click "My Account" then "Redeem Product Code"
• Enter "I-LOVE-THE-SIMS" (yes, really)
• Play The Sims 2! (optional)

The Sims 2 was always a well-received game; it sits comfortably at a Metascore of 90. Sure, it doesn't have the polish of a modern title, but the gameplay is definitely there. Given that it's also the Ultimate Collection up for grabs, there's undoubtedly plenty to do.

Note: If you're having issues with the game, check out these posts from SimsVIP on increasing the resolution and fixing black squares. There's also a very helpful post over on reddit!
