[LEGACY]How to join a server and install FreeSO

I did all with instructions and open FreeSO.exe. Then it shows a problem like this one (It is the same as at page 16). I am installed OpenAL, and I still have the same problem.

I don't know if it is normal, but if I choose installation of OpenAl, it immediately shows that "Instalation is complete".

Yours looks like this in the same location?


In create-a-sim your sim is invisible?
yes, I have everything except for the cityserver folder

I'm not sure sorry, either try another reinstall or make a topic/thread about it.

You could try deleting the openal32.dll file in 'The Sims Online' folder, might fix it. Also that installation is complete message is right, it's a very quick install.

Is there a way to get this on a Mac?
I think it works but it's really buggy, ask rhys. However, I know that when the project is done there will probably be a mac version.

Download openal, install it.

If that doesn't work, delete openal32.dll in C:\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims Online and try again.
 
CAN someone please make a video on how to install this because i would really love to play this but i lack some computer knowledge:D:confused:
 
Installed FreeSO without any issues using your guide, thanks!

The worst part of it is waiting TSO finish the download data process, also, for me, the setup crashed when the "verifying files" step started... so, if anyone also had a crash in the setup process, open the "The Sims Online Setup Files" folder and open the "Setup.exe"

If your client crashes when joining a lot, download OpenAL from here: https://www.openal.org/downloads/oalinst.zip and install it ;)
 
Hey @JWofles I did a little how to video that answers all the basic questions on how to install that I didn't get from this little post. I hope its ok and helps others! I just know I saw some people asking the same questions I did and thought I'd help circumvent dumb mistakes!
Nice, I was tempted to make a video too but this one is great :D
