Can you please share the following information so I can debug the problem, though? Operating System including version number Any antivirus software installed

For some reason the launcher cannot access your Windows registry, which makes it think the programs are still not installed. If you have an antivirus enabled, you can try disabling it while it’s being installed and see if it helps. If nothing seems to work, please check out how to install FreeSO...

Hello Might be an antivirus issue. Try running FreeSO manually from the installation folder, usually C:/Program Files/FreeSO or in Documents. Right-click FreeSO.exe and choose Run As Administrator.

Released update 1.7.6 The launcher now has an in-game clock right under the Play button. Launcher updates are now manual Also a reminder that launcher updates are now forced to be done outside of the launcher. You need to go to https://beta.freeso.org (or click the "OPEN IN BROWSER" button...

The download should resume if its a short outage, but if your network goes down for a while it might timeout. Since you're most likely dealing with an unstable connection, I recommend you try downloading The Sims Online separately, using the following URL directly from your browser...

Registrations are now working again

Released a new update 1.7.4 yesterday. Can anyone confirm that this fixed the game freezing for them on Windows? I've not had this issue before or after the update, but I know several people have. Also a note on the launcher's updater: On Windows, the installer is supposed to be run...

Hi, thank you for your screenshot. Unfortunately there's not much information in it - wait a few more seconds before screenshotting the window. More information should appear.

Hello, Please follow these steps to debug the problem: 1. Press Windows Key + R and type in cmd and then click OK 2. Type in the command prompt window: cd C:/Program Files (x86)/FreeSO Launcher and press ENTER 3. Type in the command prompt window: fsolauncher.exe and press ENTER 4. Click 'Yes'...

Hello, Do you have any antivirus software installed? If so, please whitelist the FreeSO launcher executable. If you don't have an antivirus (or you just have the default Windows Defender which should work) please report back so we can find another solution. Thanks!

Yeah, that's the idea. The screenshot only shows game news, but it would include other types of content as well. Since FreeSO tweets and blog posts aren't published often, in-game events would be the most frequent type of content.

Hey everyone, Last year I started thinking about what the next evolution of the launcher would look like... and so I made a concept. The overall idea was to make it more modern and easier to use. The look and feel match the one of the website https://beta.freeso.org that I redesigned last...
