Where do I go from here?

I successfully installed the Sims Online onto my computer (at least the files). I ran through the installation and exited out of the installation once it was 100% complete considering you can't exactly connect to EA's online servers with this game anymore. However, I am unsure where to go from here. What is the next step? I feel kinda stupid for asking this.

Thank you for this. When downloading OpenAL, do I just download the first link that pops up (there was no download for it on the latest release bit, unless the Source Code is OpenAL)? I know you have to delete the world.dll file
Also, are there any actual servers to play on or is it all just offline right now?

Thank you. I am going to assume it's not needed anymore.

And apparently FreeSO.exe doesn't work -.-

Here is the error they gave me

Thank you so much. Although everyone's faces are missing and a few bugs seem to be present, everything should be okay. I think there was some info about servers before. I tried connecting to servers but does it always take this long?

Correction: you can see through their faces even though you can see the faces (the game is playable, though). Saying they were missing wasn't a good choice of words. I just assume the faces missing is part of it considering.

Is there a place to find servers open servers to play on? I also was lost at this point and it's nice to know I can enter a server address, but I dunno who's running one

You can check either Discord or the Play-Tests section of the site
