NeoTS2 0.1.0: early preview

Back up your saves before you try NeoTS2. It's early, unfinished software. Copy your save
folder (in Documents\EA Games) somewhere safe, or let the launcher make a new save folder just for
NeoTS2.

What you can do

• Start from the launcher. It finds your Ultimate Collection or Legacy Collection and your save
  folders.
• Open your neighborhoods from the game's own main menu, and move around them with the game's
  camera.
• Visit lots and look around them, by day and by night. Your Sims are there too, but their
  behavior is still very early and buggy.

Not there yet

• No saving. Nothing you do in NeoTS2 is kept.
• Custom content (your Downloads folder) isn't read yet.
• Most of the game is still to come: Create-a-Sim, build and buy mode, careers and more.

You need

• Your own copy of The Sims 2
• 64-bit Windows 11 (Windows 10 should work but hasn't been tested)
• A graphics card and driver with Direct3D 12

How to start

1. Download the zip below and extract all of it (right-click, Extract All).
2. Run neots2-launcher.exe, choose your game and a save folder, and press Play.

Windows may say "Windows protected your PC", because NeoTS2 isn't signed yet. Click More info,
then Run anyway.

Your saves
NeoTS2 never changes a save folder that already has saves in it. It only sets up an empty or new
one.

If something goes wrong
If NeoTS2 crashes, it offers to send a report. Please do, or open an issue on GitHub with the files
from its logs folder.

Source code
The source code is public on the main branch.
