Ok, this is what you must do in order to get the UC if you have a physical copy:
- Contact EA and ask them to register ANY of your LEGIT Sims 2 games to your Origin account:

- After you found your game on the list select "Codes" as the topic and then type "I want to register my Sims 2 games in Origin" in the details box.
- You'll have to wait around 40-60 minutes before an Advisor talks to you.
- Tell them you want to register your Sims 2 game to your Origin account.
- If you're lucky they'll add to your Origin account the Ultimate Collection right away.
- if not then proceed to register your game and after it's done you should receive an e-mail telling you they'll add TS2 UC to your account because TS2 will lose tech support on July 22nd.
