Another prototype version of The Sims Online surfaced on archive.org on April 2, 2023, compiled a few months after the initial Pre-Alpha version. This Play-Test copy was distributed as part of a closed-beta. This time, the game resembles the final product much closer, but it still contains many altered/cut elements from release. This version of the game was built on September 21st, 2002.
Research into this version of the game is facilitated using nio2so to emulate the original Play-Test protocol with an original, unmodified The Sims Online: Play-Test game client.

The city selector would have allowed players to choose where they wanted their avatar to live. In this version, once an avatar was created on a city, they cannot move to another one. Additionally, you cannot have more than one avatar in a given city concurrently.
City Descriptions
In this version, the city descriptions are stored in the files for the game client, but the names are stored on the server; therefore, city names were extracted from TSOMania.net at this resource.
