Hey Guys!
Remember The Sims Online? I remember when I was younger going to my local game store and always picking up the game to look and imagine playing it, The Sims has always been such a fun and creative game that has stuck with me this whole time!
I have a running series on Youtube called "What Happened To? Where we take a look at some of the most anticipated sandbox games that either never made release or just couldn't live up to the hype!
In the most recent episode we take a look at The Sim Online! We'll talk about some of the games features and what made it so enjoyable for many who got the chance to play also what happened to cause this hyped title to shutdown.

Hope you enjoy watching as much as I enjoyed making it! If you could like and comment on the video also check out the channel, subscribe and share with your friends it would really help me out in making more videos!
Thanks and happy simming

I feel the social aspect of the game got lost and most people focused on "winning" grinding out skills and trying to make money.. It would be so fun having the social interactions of the sims 4 with a open world like the sims 3 interacting with other players like the sims online.
the dream game! haha
It was, but they changed direction mid-project due to the backlash over Simcity being online only, and because the vast majority of Sim players don't want the game to be online. It's one of the reasons why Sims 4 is missing features and has no world creation tools, they didn't have time to add those things to the game before the deadline.
I totally agree! The Sims will always be special but trying new things and taking chances is a good thing! some of the best game play experiences come from random new ideas
I guess the idea of a dynamic changing world with the community creating events and hangouts would be such a cool feature. I say remove all the grinding skills and just have fun visiting friends building shops and venues for other players.. Without all the mayhem and ugly, miss matched custom content of Second Life.
Maybe it can only work without The Sims title as people come to expect a solo type of gameplay and get so aggressive towards online play in the sims series. lol
See, I might enjoy such a game if it actually ended up that way, but whenever I think of Sims Online I just think of a bunch of people hanging out doing weird, overly sexualized roleplay. It's really nothing but a chatroom with avatars that can interact with things. That's basically all that happens on Second Life. Also, the reason why so many people are aggressively against an online Sims game is because they don't want it to replace the single player game style we are used to. As a stand alone game it could be ok....maybe. Just don't call it The Sims 5.
The sprites used in The Sims 1 were really good quality, If only the AI and the outdated controls could be redone it would be amazing haha
2. The Sims 3
3. The Sims 4 (5 years later its decent)
4. The Sims 1
I loved The Sims on ps2 haha. I agree it was such a cool feature being able to directly control your sims and interact with their surroundings.
Played a fair bit of it when it became EA Land it had hints of what would later become Open For Business because you could from what I remember run your own store and everything.
I for one would love to replay TSO in its full glory sometime!
Here is my Discussion on SimsVille share your thoughts, but beware you would be the first commenter

The running your own store aspect excited me the most
Yeah, however if Maxis wants to protect its intellectual property its only a matter of time before it gets shut down sadly.
