You can choose to live anywhere there is a free spot and build up a house all your own, or you can move in with someone, sharing the house and buying objects together. Communicating will result in a good pizza, while not communicating will result in a charred mess, equaling nothing in money. The pizza maker, for example, requires four people one to take the order, one to select the proper dough, one to select the proper ingredients, and one to finish off the toppings. Most money making objects require a group. Having a high Cooking rating will allow you to make bigger and better pizza's, bringing in more money. For example, if you have a high charisma rating, you'll be able to sell more items using the telemarketing phone, which in turn brings in more money. Skills in TSO are more important than the off-line versions, as the better skill you have, the more money you'll make when taking part in group objects. Upon installation, you can create up to a maximum of three Sims, dress them however you like, name them whatever, and enter a region, where you can build a house or become a roommate with someone. Taking place completely online, The Sims Online runs 24/7. The Sims Online takes the gameplay from The Sims and brings it into a consistent online universe, where all the Sims are controlled by real people.
