nope, I'm not opening this thing until I can be sure everything is stable.

that is a screenshot of what is happening when I click on the sim to enter the game. Clicking the enter neighborhood button below that shows a neighborhood pic does nothing. I even tried running the client as admin, and tried launching it from the launcher. D:

I just did. The dropdown thingy doesn't seem to render text. Need to fix it. :\

same thing happens with me, but it gets to 50% then crashes... :/

Still stuck at 50% when selecting your sim and entering the city..

Don't connect multiple times, the server might crash...

You can connect to the map view just fine!?

oh, you mean you can see your Sims, but you can't connect to the map view?

I'm suspecting the reason it isn't working for you guys is because the patcher isn't doing what it's supposed to.
Or because you guys are running the patcher, not the bootstrapper (which isn't what you're supposed to be doing!!).
Sigh, seems I'm going to have to put priority into fixing the patcher.

The bootstrap won't work, I have PD installed in my TSOClient folder, where TSO is, but it isn't able find the manifest and any "Maxis products".

That is actually easily fixable if you know what is wrong (which I do), by the way.
And yes, I do use the Bootstrapper.

How can I get it fixed? :/

Open notepad, paste

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Maxis\The Sims Online]
"InstallDir"="C:\\Program Files\\Maxis\\The Sims Online\\"
"GameDir"="TSOClient"
"GameExe"="TSOClient.exe"
"PatchDir"="TSOPatch"
"PatchExe"="TSO.exe"
"ProgramFolder"="Maxis\\The Sims Online\\"

in, go to file save as, change save as type to all files, and enter TSO.reg (or whatever .reg) and save it (doesn't matter where), and double click it. If you did NOT use the default install directory, or your drive where it is (probably local disc) is not C, then change installDir accordingly.

This way you don't have to open regedit, since I am assuming you wouldn't know how to use it.

So, Wherever I save the file, it will appear in regedit?

It doesn't matter where it is saved, you just need to save it, then double click it. (assuming your local disc is C) and click yes on the warning saying changing your registry can damage stuff (since this won't damage anything)

Ok, it can find the Maxis product, what about the manifest?

EDIT: Had to change to (x86)
