Step 1: Create a New Project
- Set the framework version to .NET Framework 2.0.
- Use the Visual C# Class Library template.
- Preferably prefix the name of the library with your name / handle. Eg, Gibbed.Sims3Game.Test is what I would use. —Rick

- Right-click the selected references, and select Remove.
Step 3: Set the project to not reference mscorlib.dll
- Open the project properties.
