OpenTS2

OpenTS2 is an Open-Source Reimplementation of The Sims 2, using the Unity game engine. Also aims to provide a number of modular libraries for working with TS2 formats in a C# environment.

Progress

Currently resource management, asset loading and saving and other engine code is being worked on. There is no playable build yet.

Prerequisites

Unity 2020.3.32f1 - Can be found under "Unity 2020.x", you could also download the Unity Hub and install from there. Unity version is subject to change, please keep an eye on this!
Visual Studio 2019
A copy of The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection

Setup

You need to have a "config.json" file in the root folder that provides paths to your Sims 2 UC installation and user directories. Copy the "config.example.json" file and rename it to "config.json" to start off, and type in your own paths.
