View Full Version : A new Sims 2 Multiplayer in the works

In the past few months I've seen a few people starting multi player games. I wanted to join but none have seemed structured enough for me and the hood has already been created so I had no say in the construction. I'm a FSBS (For Sims By Sims - a self sufficient sims run hood) and multiple spreadsheets type player so I would need structure. (Also, if anyone is willing I am interested in how a multi player FSBS hood would work out!) Here is what I am looking for:

Expansions:
I have every expansion installed (except pets :( ) so if base game is to vanilla for you we can use EP's to add variety, but if you only have base game, I have the any game starter and am willing to use just BG as well. I think we could just make a chart of who has which games, and which ever ones everyone has, we can use.

Use of CC:
Since a hood is already huge, I think there should be as little CC in our game as possible. Everyone can use their own defaults and just not send them with the hood (please correct me if that is wrong) to add their own little variety, and common hacks that from what I understand, most people have or are willing to get (ex: antiregen, clean templates, possibly ACR?, ect. ) Depending on the number of participants, each person could get a low number of cc to have for their family.

Game play:
Each player can play a 1 sim week rotation then pass it along. Also each person can write a story about what happened during their rotation (if not a story, then at least a synopsis) The hood would be on a small terrain.

Whoever wants to join can just PM me about it and tell me what EP's they have, their stance on CC and what global hacks they are willing to use. I'm even fine if it's just one other person and we pass it back and forth since I've never done this type of thing and don't want to be overwhelmed. Also, even if you don't want to join and have any advice, still go ahead and post, I'd like to know!

The Multiplayer so far

I have 2 people interested so far and I will be making the hood either tonight or tomorrow after confirmation from them. If anyone else wants to join, it's never to late! This is what we have so far..

EPs: Base Game and Nightlife only
Hood Terrain: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=478837 (the desert setting)
Mods: ACR / antiredundancy / School fun / Comm-skilling / Breakup anytime / no20khandout / notownieregen

I put up this info so if anyone is interested, but doesn't have/want these setting they don't need to waste their time asking me about it :)

Google informs me that it means "For Sims, By Sims" (Sim POV player)

Man, this is getting annoying. I've already got a social group for this!

Sorry about the fsbs acronym, I should have explained that..

As for the social group, I joined it, but until I had other people wanting to do this, I didn't think making a thread there was appropriate, sorry if that's wrong.

Making a thread here was the inappropriate choice. If you want to start a hood, post the details in the planning thread, that's what it's for.

Well right now I only have one other person, so it's all been in PM, but if you think that's the best place to do it.. Is it really better to post it on a thread that hasn't been posted on in over a year?

Yeah, that's what the planning thread is for.

Not everyone is in the social group, and not everyone on MTS knows about Multiplayer, so making the thread here makes complete sense to me ^^;
I'd love to do something like this, but unfortunately, I have Collection packs and from what I've heard, AGS isn't compatible with them :(

I'm interested. I'm not sure if it would work though, these are the expansions I have:

Double Deluxe
University Life Collection
Freetime
Seasons


So... yeah. Would that work?

:wtf: EA, :wtf: , sims 3 is becoming like that with more online stuff and multiplayer features on the game now. I'm sorry but this sounds like a bad idea

Leave sims 2 alone, leave mmo's to different games!!! Leave sims 2 single player!!!!

So... yeah. Would that work?As explained above, the AnyGameStarter won't work with collections. However, I might be able to help you to get it working. If you're interested, this is the thread where it is being discussed:
