Additional notes:

  • Both games have all the DLC (bar the IKEA collection for TS2 from I believe).
  • ~~Both games have the Denuvo DRM for some reason so keep that in mind if you're worried about it.~~
    Seems to be a false alarm, EA removed any mention of Denuvo from the store pages.
  • The Sims 1 will still run at its original resolution, but will now scale pixels to make better use of larger monitors while preserving the look and layout of the game.
  • Old save files and mods are compatible with this version of the game (TS for sure according to the help page, I'm not certain about TS2).

So you bought a real physical pizza at pizza hut. Printed on every box at the time was a code. You went to pizza huts website, put in the code, and the page allowed you to download a file. When double clicked, the file modified your sims installation.

So now when you played the sims, before your sim could order a pizza for $40. But now there was another option. "Order the Bigfoot from Pizza Hut." Which cost $19.99 + sims tax $0.01"

The sims tax was because in real life the BigFoot was $19.99, and they wanted to advertise this, but the game wasn't programmed to handle decimals in sims 1 money.

Then when your pizza was delivered, it had the same properties as the regular pizza to your sims hunger. But the box was a rectangular box, and made to look like the real thing, which was rectagular box with square slices. The pizza delivery guy was wearing a pizza hut uniform.

And if your sim holds a $40 pizza, the slices are triangle. If they hold a bigfoot pizza slice, they were square.

And the other difference was the $40 pizza, your driver took like 20 seconds to arrive (which was like 40 minutes in game time). A pizza hut driver showed up instantly (which still meant like 10 minutes in game time).

Now here's the coolest part. The Bigfoot pizza was created by pizza huts senior director of marketing. But you know him better by name as Reggie Fils-Aimé.

I can't find any evidence that Reggie also was reaponsible for the sims content.....but.....come on. He created the BigFoot pizza. This content was just marketing for the BigFoot. It's Reggie. Hkw is this NOT his idea, right?
