I know it's not finished and all, but I just want to suggest some things that would improve the "mockup" of you launcher: 1 - Don't use a blurred background if you put textureless tiles on top of it (even the "designers" of the Windows 8 Startmenu were smart enough to avoid that). It cut's...

It's called Aqua (Though Aqua itself is not the design philosophy anymore...) Just a little tip, don't combine to many different designs... some things better stay separated.

I'm pretty sure (in Rhys' case) this is not a low memory warning but the icon of the "Enable" tool.

Hello Servo! Welcome to the forum :) To solve your problem and to be able to play FreeSO, you need to install OpenAL on your PC. A download can be found here: http://www.openal.org/downloads/

I hope I can answer some of your question regarding TS1 but before I do let me just say that even though TS1 is my favorite Sims game, I loved every single Sims game that followed after the original! TS2 was great, there was much more you could do, the graphics were in 3D, you could build your...

A Mac wouldn't help, peter9g's programs were written for Mac's build on the PowerPC architecture. Modern Mac's use Intel processors and since Rosetta (a core framework in OS X until 10.7, that allowed PowerPC programs to run on Intel processors by translating the binary) isn't present anymore...

Peter9g did a lot of conversions back in the day... He also wrote a lot of cool Mac programs for converting skins, meshes, animations, objects, etc. back in the PowerPC-Mac era. He's a genius when it comes to converting TSO to TS1 or vice versa!

True but the "rain" in Bustin' Out was just cosmetic, it didn't do anything, it didn't even create puddles. It was basically just lines drawn on the screen with a bit darker daylight effect. That wouldn't have been too hard to add to some expansion pack of the original Sims 1. (note: I'm...

It always blew my mind that The Sims Bustin' Out on GBA (and on PS2?) had at least sunny days and rain but we had to wait for Sims 2 Seasons to come out, just to get weather on the PC games. Of course in Seasons they introduced way more than just switching from sunshine to rain but still...

I hope I don't sound rude by saying this but a lot of the stuff you seem to be converting/trying to convert has already been converted and is available online (even the Freight Elevator you seem to need help with)... Are you doing this out of curiosity and/or to get a better understanding of...

Well that would at least explain why they reverted from TS3's (bigger) open world to those tiny neighborhoods in TS4, and why you get a loading screen when you move from one lot to another even if it's just across the street and semi-loaded in the background (i.e. Sims doing stuff on a...

I really wish EAxis would release more portable Sims games in the style of The Sims Bustin' Out or The Urbz (at least for Nintendo Consoles). The console ports of the "original" Sims series always lacked a lot of personality for my taste, yet Bustin Out and the Urbz were great! I loved them on...

You should consider a career in marketing or as a real estate agent... :D Nice lot btw!

Well, along with all its limitations, Hamachi is actually quite terrible when it comes to things like security/privacy protection... but then again people are using Google to search for stuff and then rage about how their data is collected, that their free internet services like WhatsApp, Kik or...

If I remember correctly, what you implemented comes very very close to the original games pricing. Islands and beachside lots were the most expansive ones, along with snow, because they reflect that terrain in the actual lot just like the Sims 1 does on Vacation Island. Rock and grass were sort...

A sentence that always scared the living crap out of me... because whenever someone says this, the result looks horrendous! There is a reason why technology/software moved from a "classic" UI to a modern one. BUT... I wish you the best of look with your projects, great way to spend the rest of...

So... I was just about to go to bed and decided to listen to some music before falling asleep. Opened my music app, jumped right into the "For you" section, where I got something very interesting suggested... (Let's just say I have a few albums full of game soundtracks on my phone, okay?!)...

He's not? o_O Well that's news to me, since he was nice enough to give me a copy of the Pre-Alpha version, so I could mess with it a little... That being said I would understand if he isn't sharing those files anymore and I wouldn't really encourage him to release them anywhere, but that would...

Interesting... On my Windows partition I can run the Sims 1 without fiddling around or using the compatibility tab at all. I do get a black box above the games windows when I run it in window mode but pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete solves that.
