I recently gave this game another try and while I still think it's quite clunky, I feel like it's a pretty good game and I'm surprised it's player numbers aren't higher. I feel like for years, I heard so many people begging for a hyper realistic life sim game to come out and saying they specifically hoped that if we got a sims 5 game, that it wouldn't be cartoony. So I am so surprised that when inzoi gave us exactly that, no body wants play or cover it and not only that, but paralives came out, which is exactly the opposite aesthetic that people were asking for, but has seemingly way higher active player numbers. I'm so confused. I personally like both and will be continuing to play both but I'm just surprised that there is such a large gap in the two games active player numbers!

My friends and I got the game so we could play together. But as soon they tried connecting to my world, it said there was an error and that it could be a strict fire wall problem.

So I disabled my fire wall and still no luck.

Then I read that if you can't join one friends world, to try another friends world. We tried everyone's world and none of us could join.

Next we tried using aternos to create a free server since we saw some people say that aternos worked for them. This time my friends could join, but they were extremely laggy and then timed out.

We read that LogMeIn hamachi worked if you join under the local tab. So we tried that but again, everyone just timed out.

I'm confused cause I've seen so many creators talking about how easy multiplayer is compared to Minecraft but it's just not working for any of us. Through our searches I've seen several others with the same issue so I know it's not just us. I read that the method of multiplayer that the game uses is new and might not be supported by some older PCs or that the routers might have issues with the type of multiplayer that they implement but that seems pretty bad imo. Does that just mean that half the community with old PCs will just not be able to play multiplayer? Has this been addressed and are they working to fix it?

I know in the normal board (side a) you can pay 2 coins to move one extra tile and then 4 to move another and so on, but does that rule carry onto the advanced board (side b)
