EA re-released two of its most legendary games: The Sims and The Sims 2 .

Dubbed the " The Legacy Collection ," these could not even be called remasters.

EA just put the original games on Steam with some minor patches to make them more likely to work on some modern machines.

The Sims deserved better than this lackluster remaster.
