Latest Pre-release | Download

Alternative C# Windows Frontend for The Sims 1, based off of FreeSO. http://freeso.org (REQUIRES a legitimate copy of The Sims: Complete Collection)

NOTE! Currently does not support the entire Fame career track, saving on vacation and a few other important things. While all objects run, many of them have bugs that can make certain lot types unplayable. For current development progress, see this issue.

Only for Desktop Windows. Other platforms cannot be officially supported.

Purpose

On modern operating systems, The Sims has a few nagging issues that make it less than playable. Simitone can be seen as a tool to improve the playability of your existing installation of The Sims. Here are some features:

• Playable in 3D - using a combination of models generated from the 2D sprites and created by the community.
  • Download the mesh pack here!
• Custom user interface that works at modern resolutions. Working on a more desktop oriented interface.
• Improved graphical performance, support for high resolutions and refresh rates.
• Custom lighting - directional lights with smooth falloffs and shadows using generated 3D meshes.
• Volcanic, a program which allows you to examine, modify and create new game objects. (from FreeSO)

Why is it called Simitone?

Simitone -> Semitone -> musical term -> C# -> a note
