Remember, you need to register separately on "https://freeso.ml/", you can't just use your forum account to login to FreeSO/TSO

You need to run FreeSO as admin (To help you out and make things easier you need to tick the properties of FreeSO's shortcut in the "Compatibility" tab.

:eek: Did I just see Sunrise Crater? Its at around 0:43-0:44

Yep, even though I am a fairly young I still like to play around and tinker with older operating systems. (I grew up with Windows XP :D) I was not off by that far though with the logo though ;)

A very big thanks goes to xXJDrocksXx, he has made a universal installer that gives you the option to install either the GS (Global Server) client or the Legacy Client! :eek: The link to the download is right here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/m0lh70eq8s1op1l/FreeSO Installer.zip?dl=0...

You have to open a lot in FreeSO after launching the "Volcanic.exe" to trigger the Volcanic interface to appear. (I had the exact same issue so I had to ask for help, thankyou simsfreak :cool:)

I like the logo at the top :p Its based on the Windows ME logo...

Get rid of WinZip and download 7-Zip (completely free) it has no trial. If you are installing The Sims 1 on Windows 10 you have to get past the SecuROM protection (DRM). For the Sims online you will need to download the installer (since FreeSO uses a specific version I think) from EA's servers...

Here: http://www.tsomania.net/gameguides/game_size.php Very simple guide, if you have any questions about needing to change the config.txt file in the "Config" folder in "TSOClient" then just ask (it is no longer necessary to change the config in the TSOClient folder anymore)

Your entire problem is caused by FreeSO not being able to find XAudio .dll's. All that is needed is for you to reinstall/install all optional DirectX 9.0c components. In Google, search for "directx web installer", it should be the first search result. Proceed to download and install DirectX...

You shouldn't worry, that's normal since EA's servers can be slow but it mainly depends on your internet connection I think.

Changing Game Window Size: http://www.tsomania.net/gameguides/game_size.php

nicefungirl had the same problem, its to do with your "InstallDir" registry entry. You need to change that to your current install of TSO.

If you are receiving a missing textures.xml file error when trying to launch FreeSO then you must download the latest GS installer that is currrently on play.freeso.net and try again.

Rhys provides the download link for the global server beta installer from "play.freeso.net" : FreeSO GS Installer: http://freeso.squarespace.com/s/GSInstaller-1-5-17.zip It should install everything once you extract the "GSInstaller-1-5-17.zip" and run the "Official FSO Installer Utility x86...

Autumnrose, try re-extracting the "GSInstaller-1-5-17.zip" file into a folder by right clicking the .zip file and select "Extract all". Then run the application in the extracted folder.

The launcher is in an unbelievably polished state. I have never seen such community spirit for a game such as the FreeSO community. :D From launchers to blueprints for house and the whole project in it self.

There is only a "hint" of DirectX in that error report probably meaning its using DirectX mode by default. The error seems to have to mostly do with Microsoft XNA Framework. You could update your graphics card driver (your card may not be able to visualise/run FreeSO), reinstall DirectX 9 or the...

Looks like it is failing to find textures.xml in your "C:\Program Files\FreeSO\The Sims Online\TSOClient\packingslips" directory and maybe some other files too. Check if that directory exists along with the textures.xml file.

I think that that might be making an open-source re-implementation a commercial one..... (having the item shop that is) If the item shop said that all profit is counted as donations then it might be okay only if the items gave no advantages over other players who may not for e.g. a Mystic tree...
