Too bad EA cease and desisted the open source reimplementation, Simitone.
- arp242 4y agoAccording to [1] "EA only demanded us not to port the game on mobile devices"; that's the only thing I could find anyway. It's still on GitHub: https://github.com/riperiperi/Simitone https://github.com/riperiperi/Simitone Looks like the main dev mostly moved on to https://github.com/riperiperi/FreeSO https://github.com/riperiperi/FreeSO [1]: https://mobile.twitter.com/Simitone/status/1202748351227269120 https://mobile.twitter.com/Simitone/status/12027483512272691...
- MrPowerGamerBR 4y agoWhile yes, EA did let them continue the project, after EA's request the project has slowed down considerably. And about FreeSO: FreeSO is a The Sims Online reimplementation. The Sims Online is an improved version of The Sims 1's engine. Due to the similarities, riperiperi decided to make a The Sims 1 reimplementation based off FreeSO's engine, with support for mobile devices. And besides, in theory EA couldn't even request that: The engine is a clean room implementation, the implementation doesn't use any of the original game assets.
