The Sims Online / FreeSO / Sim Nation and the rest - Are you kiki?

Any of you remember that Jesus freak Rough Rider? Definitely a closet case.

WUFF WIDER!? Yeah I remember him. Talk about a fucking mood.

I think he is on SN now and still doing mostly the same thing. For the newcomers, Rough Rider runs a money lot so he has to be online a bunch. He is one of the religious people in the game and his whole thing was that he was a shameless Christian. Jesus this and Jesus that. But you weren't allowed to say anything bad about any of it. But he was allowed to trash talk any non-believers basically. So he could be controversial depending on who you asked and a bunch of people just stayed away because he was too much of a hassle to deal with. I think he was also super patriotic American so he had a lot of things to be at odds with with most players of the game.

Yikes. Definitely an alcoholic or substance abuser of some sort. That dead expression speaks volumes

There appear to be a lot of fiveheads in this fanbase.

Overall most of them are no lifing and have nothing else going on but The Sims. It's why before I fixed my own bullshit I would go on there to get human interaction with rejects.

I went and watched some videos of how this game plays and it really does look like watching paint dry. That BPD cat lady said she spent the better part of an entire day hosting. How entertaining is that exactly? I'm trying to figure out what a person gets out of this process? Is it just a matter of hanging around tending to guests like the OP implies? Obviously there is the social component/Discord aspect, but it is just hard for me to wrap my head around what the appeal here is.

And then to get into Internet slap fights over this game seems absurd. I've played The Sims. It seems like you could play a dozen complete lifetimes of sims in the single player game and have Discord on in the background. Why this game for literal years? It seems to offer much less in the way of features and the repetition borders on Chinese water torture. I would guess that it was so popular 20 years ago because of the novelty factor of both The Sims and of online games in general. Now? You'd have to be high to play this for any extended period... I just answered my own question, didn't I?

You have really pretty hair I am jealous. Fuck you!!

This is exactly what I think of when I think of a 'Sims girl' from the 00s. Relatively normal with deviation towards terminally online or slightly more fashionable/creative than their male counterpart. That said: Who the fuck is niche enough that they find something like the sims online platforms in this day and age? These mf'ers should be buying every Sims 4 dlc, playing stardew and knitting. And I wish that was just sexism but it's literally the path I've seen sims girls go. At least it's superior to whatever they're doing now.

Most of those men don't even look bad but clearly given the context, they're predatory and are simply there to land a sims girl cause they dreamed of it in their teens.

I didn't even know "Sim girls" were a thing.

And as for the guys, based upon what people that have played the game have said the males largely seem to be different variants of sex pests.

I'm surprised not all the sex pests have been outed on this thread.

This post here. The Sims Online is probably a sex pest iceberg.

I think they call themselves 'cozy gamers' now. The whole stardew dating/farming niche that every other indie studio is grifting to death, as they pay white women under the table to promote the game to their "cozy gamer" fans. I think back when I was a teen, it was simply chicks who did the whole myspace/tumblr/wholock/harry potter/sims-as-their-only-game thing. These days, like dudes who still play WoW, they have to be stunted mentally to still play Sims. So many other games in the same genre, granted not as specific as Sims, that can be 'cozy'.

But like people who play wow, they seem to reject modern gaming tropes and advances which I'd argue is a good thing. Fuck modern games, kernel level anti cheat and what not. It'd be interesting to talk to someone who only played sims 1-4 and otherwise did other shit with their life than chase the newest twitch trend.

Then you got this niche hellhole of online sims 1 games cause who the hell does that appeal to?

Pretty crazy too because Stardew Valley is a good game and I remember enjoying it years ago as some valued competition for Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons.

But now that you mention it, the Stardew Valley phenomenon really did start to take off and attracts all kinds of faggots and retards. Your description of Sim girls does make a lot of sense. The farm sim genre really became a huge fucking mess.

There is a huge overlap between these groups and a lot of TSO players can be found on Stardew Valley if you check their current activity.

Besides the usual audience of burnouts and welfare leeches, there is a pretty reliable set of married, retired women that play The Sims Online. Though it should be noted that a lot of them are pretty normal and keep to themselves and simply play the game and get addicted to the casino lots. A few definitely prowl around for desperate younger men to have cybersex with but then a fair number of people in this community are just looking for online hookups and noncommittal relations. Commitment issues are a major feature.

The OP has been updated slightly to include the section on Meow, to fix the missing borders on a few of the user images (thanks for the heads up) and to add a couple extra bits to existing images.

TSO extended universe updates: XenoSO (Site - Archive) is struggling to keep its momentum and while it surely has the makings of a competitor, it is pretty quiet. DramaSO is still hanging in there as the alternative to Sim Nation but that is also having trouble getting new players, mostly due to the name. XenoSO has capitalized on this and gathered up most of the players that dislike Sim Nation but do not trust DSO. A couple of other challengers have also appeared and are finding their way. LegacySO (Site - Archive) is trying but we'll see if they can pull it off and Whispering Waters (Site - Archive) has come out of nowhere and is actually doing pretty well despite being invite-only. Keep your eye on Whispering Waters; they are already putting up better numbers than the other non-Sim Nation clients and the in-game community is more talkative and active than most.

More game clients?

At some point each person is going to have their own client and they'll be playing The Sims by themselves with fewer features.

You're basically describing Second Life, and why they can't update the engine cause it'll alienate the single white mothers playing on their shitty laptop.

I've never cared for "stop killing games" type political shit in gaming yet I'm aware of all the pro-consumer type shit throughout the years. Then I watched a video from some gay guy talking about all the sims creators and how they're so ass-backwards that they don't even disclose if they're doing a paid ad or not, or how they go "Omg this dlc is so amazing and surprising!" when they >HELPED DESIGN IT AND PROFIT FROM IT.

I remember during covid AC:NH took off and a lot of women picked up a 3DS and played AC all day, tweeting about their experiences and wants. "Can we have this and this?", unaware Nintendo won't do anything fans want, ever, cause they're infallible. It truly opened my eyes to how stunted women are, as in the vast majority are fine with choppy fps if they can play they little cozy farmer dating sim.

Look up My Time at Sandrock and you'll find 'cozy game' in physical form. Farming, romance, marriage, babies, low-brow combat, several people to bang, and despite its chibi art direction, the sequel is now gonna be as kpop influenced as Valorant and modern League. Yea, in fact, kpop aesthetic is specifically made for and by Sims women. Open up r/sims and you'll find more kpop fuckboys than self-insert loonytroons. Sims truly is the 40k for women.

They should play Sengoku Rance.

To be fair, a lot of people play their old games due to nostalgia and well, it's something you know quite well and you can't be bothered learning a bunch of new stuff when you just want to waste an hour or two. I guess if you're only playing one specific game for hours daily after twenty years, you probably just have the 'tism though.

Truly new games are worth playing. A game like Fortnite or Nig Myth Wukong that does something other games did 25 years ago or more, but with prettier graphics are not worth it.

That's the issue - when it comes to The Sims, I'd argue that it hasn't really improved majorly since The Sims 2 which is why so many people are still playing that game. Off topic but I presume this is why we've seen so much dependency on online servers for new entries in the franchise and the gaming industry reaction to "Stop Killing Games". Of course they'd all love to kill off the last game and force people to buy the new barely improved one (and then keep adding expansion packs that are direct rip-offs of previous games expansion packs).

For me, the Sims series did peak with Sim City 2000 though...

We'll just overlook that for now...

I am not sure how they fix The Sims. 2 and 3 really had good setups and it has all been thrown out the window. That Korean Simslike seemed sort of popular but definitely had a game of the month feel.

And any online version is going to turn into a degenerate mess like is on display in this thread. What company wants that?

 

[Too Many Catgirls]

Let's see where was I... almost at 100 awooo!!


I have never seen a forehead like this before. Did they use a toilet plunger to pull her out at birth? No amount of "personality" is going to make up for that.


Looks sort of normal... so why is he playing The Sims Online? There is probably something up his ass during this shot. There is probably something up his ass right now while you are reading this and every time you read it in the future.


Okay I think we found whatever is up the last guy's ass. Lots of homos this time around.


Should probably take a cue from his shirt and put a bucket over his head.


Hi it's fat. That umbrella actually has a diameter of five feet.


Pretty sure I remember this guy from the OP. He's the faggot with the bird that never shuts up about Angel Mist being a bully. No amount of amphetamines are going to fix whatever this guy's uncle did to him when he was four.


Muffin top slop bucket whore. What the hell is this? Furry shit? Anime? Fire could work but she might return to her gelatinous state and slither away.


Take fewer selfies. The cleavage doesn't distract from the mustache or the goiter.


I could mock the awful hand and chest tattoos and the crystal and the stupid glasses, but it honestly looks like she lost a bunch of weight. Oh wait, it is gastric bypass assisted so it doesn't count. Look at those awful tattoos that are a clear sign of mental illness.


The helmet didn't do its job because this chick is B-U-S-T-E-D.


Posting pictures of your children in the Discord channels of "social" games should be punishable by time in prison.


I think I saw this guy on Dateline last week.


A little doughy, but whatever. Cleans her room. Carry on.


Filters are a hell of a drug.


Is this woman naked? There isn't a red flag big enough to warn any men that might be tricked into spending time with this one. Needs to be put on a list.


The more I look at this picture, the more concerned I become. The shirt, the eyes, the hair... what's going on here?


"PICK ME. YOU HAVE TO PICK ME FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PICK ME OR I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU."


Self-described babyface Pinecone looks like they got hit every branch on the pine tree on the way down. At least they were kind enough to get awful piercings to warn normal people to stay away.


Clean your room and maybe you'll get a man.


Something funky is going on with the left side of her mouth. Do we want to know how she got those scars?

Hooray! Almost done. Just a few more left to do.
