Default The Sims Online, Open Beta

That's right, TSO is now in Open Beta, that means anybody can join up.

How do you get it, you ask? Simple. There are two ways. Ordering in the mail (you pay 5 dollars) or downloading it (free).

Click here to order it through mail

Click here to download it via FilePlanet

Be advised that the Download is 1.18 GB, quite large indeed, so I recommend only High-Speed internet users use that. It took me about 10 hours to download it (350kbps DSL)

Remember that you need a valid credit card to play. You aren't charged however, you just need one.

Check it out, and if anyone does, I'm in city "Jolly Pines" and my sim is "In Flames"



How is the actual game?

I'll say that it is more fun then the other "The Sims" games in the series. Rather then control a whole family, you take the role of one person, and you can go to other people's houses and do a bunch of stuff. It's actually pretty cool.

Well, it's installing the patches right now, but unfortunately I won't get a chance to play for a couple hours because I'm leaving.
