Not sure where its appropriate to post this, but I use to be a fellow TSO member (the sims online) back in early 2000s, when Maxis ruined it (ea ruined it, go figure) but long story short was wondering if anyone else ever played and if you seen it in The Sims 4, when your sims play video games, play sims forever - when they play it looks just like the sims online. I wish they would bring it back :( it was awesome.glad to say its back! freeso, free sims online

I was a TSO'er. Good times. Most people around here would rather beat your with a stick than hear about TSO, though. It's my dirty little secret.Oh, and I haven't got TS4 yet, I will this Friday or Saturday... hopefully Friday.

Really? I wonder why? I hope in the future they can find a happy medium of the sims 2/3/4 whatever with TSO. Big fan of all sims games though!

The Sims 4 was originally suppose to be an online game, but with SimCity failing miserably, they changed it at last minute to an offline game.

Not a big fan of The Sims Online for the following reasons:Lot by lot gameplayIt was a popularity contest.It forced you to socialize even though you didn't want to.And the gameplay itself was very limited.At the end of 6 months, I had to choose between paying for TSO and Ultima Online. I chose Ultima Online.

I played the game. I was one of those Sims with the 'bad' jobs.

If it was, I just would have flat out not been interested at all. I played all the Sims games, except TSO, because I couldn't afford Internet access at the time, and also because I hate the very idea of HAVING to be online for a hobby. As it is, though I like The Sims 4, I hate the online aspect of it, having to be "linked" through Origin, even in "offline mode", having to get to the gallery through the game, etc.
