That, or it's just not a common game to have a pre-release build of in "the scene". I'd be happy even if I could get concrete evidence that someone outside of EA has a build since I think the early builds of Sims 2's base game have more to them than we could ever imagine.

For what it matters, a few years ago some guy had a disk of an early Half-Life Alpha for game publications. He put up the disk contents online and then sold it for a nice couple hundred dollars. It's actually pretty cool, because it ran on a modified Quake engine rather than GoldSrc, and the security guard models were frightening, and there was an extremely high-poly robot that was supposed to crash the engine but didn't. I'd better stop before I get carried away.
