FreeSO is a fan-made, open-source recreation of The Sims Online (an MMO from the early 2000s). Being a niche project mainly for nostalgia or Sims fans, and with minimal marketing or support since 2017, the community is small and activity is usually limited to a few hundred dedicated players daily. Its MMO status is justified by persistent worlds and large shared spaces, but its audience is limited by age and unofficial nature.
