Hi All, I like playing together and I noticed that a lot of payware sims are being played. (Although I am Dutch,  ) I do not mind paying for a sim. However, it seems to me that there is no one (payware) sim which get played twice on multiplayer. I find the sims a bit pricey to buy them for one time use only. I can understand it takes a significant amount of effort to create a sim/TT, so it is not my intention to argue about payware or how much a sim costs. However, how do you see this? How - or in which order - did you bought the sims?Kind regards, Vin Log in to reply |

These are not simulations that are intended to be played once and thrown away. Kings Cross has been a firm favourite for years. Anyone can host any Sim they like, including you, and invite others to join; so never say never. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

Hi All, thanks for the replies. I was a bit overwhelmed by all the different sims. Your replies gave me a lot of insight. My question is: looking at the advertised list of games hosted and without a 100+ pound budget, which sim would you recommend I should buy? Based on the list of advertised sims, 42,8% of the games hosted were freeware sims (if I count correctly). So, these I can join. If I would buy Cscot for instance, it gives me an aditional 11%, bringing the total games I can join over the 50%. This was the kind of information I was looking for, so thank you GeoffM/all! :) Only thing might be the 'non advertised' sims on the TeamSpeak. But that is something for later use. Kind regards, Vin Last edited: 11/06/2017 at 10:26 by Vinvar Reason: None given Log in to reply |

Vin I think you are making more of a big deal about the multiplay sessions than you need to. There are far more people who use the sims in single player mode than who take part in multiplay sessions. Better to use the demo mode to find sims that you can enjoy and then buy them. You can always join a multiplay if one comes up for a sim you own but you can also have hours of entertainment (or maybe hard work) using the sim by yourself. “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Log in to reply |

One thing you might consider is whether ARS (Automatic Route Setting) is included. This allows you to play a larger simulation on your own, or turn the ARS off if you have enough people playing. Indeed, many multiplayer games with ARS start with ARS on until enough players join, then it is gradually switched off. All games have the ability to save and continue at a later date. Even if you played it standalone before the save, you can continue as a multiplay (and vice versa). SimSig Boss Log in to reply |

Would it be advisable to have a multiplay request thread (if there isn't one already). I know people including myself often take requests as to what is posted as Multiplay. Log in to reply |
