Netplay

I didn't see anything in the global sims rules about netplay and if its allowed or not, just wondering if 2 player runs have to be done on local or if we can use net play. Cheers.

Hey man, Sorry for the wait on this. I've checked it with the other Sims mods and they've added some rules regarding netplay. So long as your run matches these rules you're good to go.

Any other questions feel free to drop me a message. :)

[Addendum 10th September 2020:]

Rules regarding Netplay/Multiplayer:

While most communities offer a Multiplayer Experience for our games, we of course, have decided that the use of Netplay is allowed. Do not worry, Local Gameplay with both players in the same room is and always will be approved.

The only EMU that will be allowed is Dolphin Emulator in this case. You will also need to ensure:

You use the exact same ISO File You use the exact same EMU Version (ex: Dolphin 5.0 or Dolphin 5.0-12901) All Settings are synced between host (player 1) and player 2, via the "Strict Settings Sync" option

All the rules also detailed in the post above this will also apply and need to be followed.

In this case as well, both POVs need to be recorded and submitted together for a run to be approved on the boards. NOTE: It is still only 1 submission but you add Player 2's Perspective to the description of the run.

Therefore, the following categories are now brought into line with this change:

Urbz Sims in the City: Any% (2 Player) and 200% Game Completion (2 Player)

If any other game is affected, please message me seperately on Speedrun.com or make a forum post to your games particular board.
