i got super lucky with the radio selection, mostly chill tracks which helped when building stuff

it was really funny when i want to another block and got subjected to the goofiest shit imaginable though

(if it hasn't gone down again)

can’t wait for them to add this to Nintendo Music

Since FreeSO was a full recreation of the engine that simply read and presented The Sims Online's content, a lot of the charm and quirks of the original were lost or reinterpreted, which left FreeSO feeling a bit different. It's nice to see some of that here, so far in advance of the public release.

It might have just been fixed by driver 572.60, released today...

It seems to be an issue when the present method is "layered on DXGI swapchain" or when "auto" decides to use that. Try switching it to "prefer native":

There's already a fix for the neighbourhood travel selector issue and a bunch of crash bugs:

I'll try to update the gist each time there's a new patch.

If you're seeing an issue where it looks like edges in the UI are getting jumbled, it looks like changing "Vulkan/OpenGL present method" to "Prefer native" in the NVIDIA Control Panel avoids the issue for now. Hopefully NVIDIA correct this in a driver update.

EA have already promised to look into and fix issues... without much detail on how far they're willing to go.

I'll update the gist with new information as any patches are released.
