You seem to have tried to embed the image from gmail. You should upload it to a site like http://imgur.com first and then post the link here.

Can you post the error message here?

Nope, MacOS doesn't support windows forms at all (it segfaults).

Nice work, I see word of my idea got around quickly. ;)

Sounds like mono is missing. Make sure you installed mono and sdl.

You should probably contact us directly (with names) if you think it is the same person. Getting around lot bans is a bannable offense.

Very likely not, that would require using an entirely different base engine, since Monogame requires OpenGL 3.0 + some key extensions, or DirectX11 back compat support.

Looks like crucial data is missing. You can't be sure what else is missing too, so your only choice is probably to re-install again... I don't know why the EA ftp has such a problem with packet loss and corruption. It's screwing over people who have fast connections, but which are unstable.

Not yet. You can always build your own sprite fonts for these character sets for now.

Seriously, I don't think screaming complaints at me will get me to make changes to the game any more than before, given that I do this as a hobby, not a job, and because I'm too busy to make any changes at the moment at all. If you can't try making these changes yourself, the better option is to...

I screwed up a little - the macextras zip has been updated again. Let me know if it works for anyone. (additionally, gettso.sh does appear to work correctly on mac, though you may need to manually delete the downloaded cab files afterwards.)

Hello all, It does turn out that we were always quite close to having the game run on Mac, it's just a few initialisation and library issues that caused it to fail at booting. With the correct files in the correct folder, it should be possible to run the next Windows build of FreeSO natively on...

Both sound engines are identical - the content reading is slightly different though. There are a few fields in both that are not being respected.

It's caused by incomplete sound emulation. The Sims 1 and TSO have a weird ruleset regarding looping that I haven't completely figured out yet... I will get to it eventually, but it has always been far down my priority list (this aspect of sound emulation has only changed once since sounds were...

PIFF does support TS1, but only when playing in simitone. For playing in the original game you'd need to physically replace the files in the FAR, like you'd always have to anyways.

No, but skilling at a higher skill level is a lot slower.

Cool thread.

Windows 7 does not constitute a "new pc", but the GPU in that laptop should be able to handle the game. I think your DX11 is out of date or missing, or maybe a version of DX9. Try running this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35 If this does not work, switch to OpenGL...

Yes - it should behave similarly to sim retire, though without having to worry about evicting you from a lot. All cross references are by ID anyways.

I think not being able to find good roommates who can help you host lots is entirely on the player. If object limit is not a problem and you dislike the inactive roommates getting money, kick them out. I don't see how this is a hard problem to solve. It seems more like you are complaining about...
