Following EA’s decision to delist The Sims 2 from Origin (now EA App) in 2014—after a brief period where the Ultimate Collection was offered for free—new players found themselves locked out.

For many fans, the repack became the de facto preservation method, allowing them to revisit or discover a beloved game without hunting for overpriced secondhand discs. Forums like Reddit’s r/sims2 frequently mentioned Mr Dj’s repack as a reliable, pre-configured solution for players unwilling or unable to use the legitimate (but discontinued) Origin version.

Users report the "Bubblegum Cough" turning into a fatal plague that wipes out the entire neighborhood in three in-game days. This has been dubbed the "Mr Dj Plague." For most users
The Fix: You must download the "Sickness is not death" mod or install the "Cure Mod" from ModTheSims. Alternatively, look for "Mr Dj Sims 2 REPACK v2" or "v3," which reportedly fixed this bug.
