Thanks so much! I was able to get it running on my Mac from your instructions. You weren't kidding about it liking to crash, though - I got an IOException about 50 times before I was able to successfully run FreeSO.exe for the first time. To the point where I figured I was crazy for trying again...

As an alternative method I tried to install using wine & winetricks, and I'm stuck on this exception...I'll keep ya'll posted if I make any progress. Full Exception Info: System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'Z:\Users\[USER]\.wine32\FreeSO-1-28-17a 2\MSZipTemp\Data1.cab'...

There's another thread open with some of us trying to run the game using PlayOnMac, but I don't think anyone has been successful yet: http://forum.freeso.org/threads/temporary-run-official-freeso-on-mac-using-wine-linux-coming-feedback-needed.2435/

Has anyone else been able to get past this? I tried Altariah's solution to cancel & retry with no luck. It looks like the bug has been reported to PlayOnMac, but there hasn't been any activity on the ticket yet.

Also, no one is entitled to this game. It's free, and if you didn't help build it you can't complain.

I don't think you understand the logistics of the situation.

Ah bummer! I'm glad we could at least help stress test the api. Good luck fixing up the code, I hope the changes aren't too intrusive.

I think I'm more excited about the fact that so many people want to play than I am upset about the fact that we'll have a delayed beta launch. If that makes any sense. :)

It sounds like the issue is currently being addressed - they have asked that in the mean time we stop trying to register.

Rhy, or anyone else who knows the answer - Is there a thread dedicated to the progress of FreeSO on mac? I haven't had any luck finding one. I have to have Xcode open during the day, so it would be lovely to be able to eventually run the game in OS X. Thanks again for your hours of...

My personal vote is that they always appear. If you're enforcing the limit of 3 IMing instances open concurrently (I'm not sure), it would be more clear to the user how many chats they have open at any given time. Maybe with all 3 chat windows open the user can click a tray button to focus that...

RHY you are killing that checklist. So excited!!!

I'm so excited to work at the restaurant again, that was my fav part of TSO! A few nights ago I decided to play around with it in the latest build just for kicks, and it looked something like this: And I thought it was still pretty entertaining in its current state. :p Can't wait to try out...

I think your design looks clean, and in general it looks good from a usability standpoint. The biggest issue for me, though, is the white. It's a bit jarring, and it's just not the classic Sims blue. :) With this design I would definitely miss the simoleons (and maybe the time?) being...

Chicago! :)
