Announcing OpenSO alpha testing 🧪 Signups are open now!

OpenSO is a revival of FreeSO, a fan-hosted recreation of The Sims Online, upgraded with a modern foundation:

Runs on .NET 10 LTS with the latest MonoGame. GitHub Actions automatically builds client, server, and updated shaders for all platforms.

A C# launcher replacing the old Electron one, with an integrated patcher and self-updater.

Replaced the Mina.NET dependency with a rewritten networking and buffer stack supporting TLS end-to-end encryption.

Updated rendering pipeline: dynamic frame rates >60FPS, resolution scaling, new AA options, and optional post-processing effects for 3D mode.

New features: rebuilt Create-A-Sim with zoom & rotation plus larger icons; edit your Sim's gender, appearance, and skintone at any time from the Select-A-Sim menu; a Social Bunny NPC who shows up to help your Social need when your Sim is alone. 🐰

Fixed long-standing nitpicks, like the window scaling/mouse glitch.

Always free and open source, with no pay-to-win or donation perks.

OpenSO is early in development, so things may break or be rough around the edges. Expect frequent updates.

Player feedback will be crucial in shaping the game's direction. Once the foundation is tested under a real player load, the beta release can shift focus to new content & gameplay changes while staying faithful to the original game — as well as events, documentation, tools, and quality-of-life features.

The alpha provides starting funds of $100k to begin building. The testing world, Genesis, will be wiped for the public beta.

Signups are open now and public for anyone who wants to help playtest, report bugs, or contribute ideas and changes.

I woke up in the middle of the night the other day and just randomly remembered this game existed. I managed to find it and replayed it and got so overwhelmed with nostalgia, I really wanted to draw the characters. @pacthesis was a huge artist and writer inspiration to me as a kid, I loved all of their games. I think I even 100% completed Number Days? (also my favorite was always Lena)

A few days ago @dystopianam put a photo on our the sims group with a poster of Will Wright attached on a dartboard with a dart in the center of the head and it makes me laugh so much that I decide to create a dartboard where everyone can choose which enemy to target.

For Sims who hate their God we have Will Wright (creator of the game). For the betrayed lovers there is Don and so on.

The board has its own guid so it will not replace the game board, BUT YOU NEED TO HAVE THE WILL WRIGHT ONE IN YOUR GAME in order for the others to work.

Feel free to ask me which character would you like to have and I will create other recolors for you :)

Enjoy :D *Update* 21/07/22: Added Dina and Loki

The dartboard now uses the same recolors as the original in-game dartboard, so any custom recolors you already have will work with this version too.

Will Wright's picture is still included (of course) but all the other preset photos are gone because now you get to choose your own target!

It works just like the customizable picture frames: you can use an in-game snapshot or select any image from your Paintings folder. Will it be your sim's rival, an annoying neighbor, ex-lover or mortal enemy? The choice is yours. 🎯
