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 a basic main menu with a neighborhood chooser is implemented. Neighborhood info can be previewed and a basic neighborhood view can be accessed. ![image](https://github.com/LazyDuchess/OpenTS2/assets/42678262/7ec4b21f-8987-41e6-b780-cca694698354) ## Acknowledgements * [InvertedTomato.CRC](https://github.com/invertedtomato/crc) * [TGA Image Reader](https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/31702/NET-Targa-Image-Reader) * [Hardware Cursor Plugin](https://forum.unity.com/threads/hardware-cursor-plugin.70163/) * [MoonSharp](https://github.com/moonsharp-devs/moonsharp/) * [FreeSO](https://github.com/RHY3756547/FreeSO) * [DBPFSharp](https://github.com/0xC0000054/DBPFSharp/raw/main/src/DBPFSharp) ## Similar Projects * [FreeSO](https://github.com/RHY3756547/FreeSO) - Open Source reimplementation of The Sims Online using C# and Monogame. OpenTS2 borrows a lot of code and structure from this project. * [Las Marionetas](https://github.com/OmniBlade/LasMarionetas) - Similar project, aiming to reimplement The Sims 2 by reverse engineering its binary code into C/C++ source code. * [SimUnity2](https://github.com/LazyDuchess/SimUnity2) - Earlier attempt at a TS2 reimplementation in the Unity engine. Abandoned, succeeded by this project. * [OpenTPW](https://github.com/ThemeParkWorld/OpenTPW) - Open Source reimplementation of Sim Theme Park / Theme Park World. * [OpenRCT2](https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2) - Open Source reimplementation of Rollercoaster Tycoon 2. ## License This Source Code Form is subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public License, v. 2.0. If a copy of the MPL was not distributed with this file, You can obtain one at http://mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/. # Development ## Prerequisites * [Unity 2020.3.32f1](https://unity3d.com/get-unity/download/archive) - 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](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/) * A copy of The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection ## Setup 1. 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. 2. In Unity, make sure Edit > Preferences > External Tools > External Script Editor is set to Visual Studio. By default it opens files separately as opposed to in a solution. ## Project Structure We follow the layout of a normal Unity project except: * `Assets/Scripts/OpenTS2` - Contains the bulk of the C# code that deals with TS2 formats and files. * `Assets/Scripts/OpenTS2/Engine` - Unity *specific* code tends to live in here to keep it separate from the more language-independent code in the directory. * `Assets/Tests/OpenTS2/` - Unit tests following the same directory structure as the `Scripts` folder. ## Testing We currently use the [Unity Test Runner](https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.3/Documentation/Manual/testing-editortestsrunner.html) for unit testing code. These tests can be run inside of unity through the test runner tab or if you use Rider as your C# editor, inside of it.
