How the heck do I get Sim 4 running on Linux Mint?
I have tried multiple different versions of proton, ge proton, I have tried the EA launcher, and a few black magic incantations. It either runs at 4fps or will not load at all. I have tried everything i can find on protondb that is not an ancient report.
i juuuuust solved for this this week! my kid has been bugging me for awhile.
i spent a weekend trying to get steam to run it... that stupid ea app... lutris..
i gave up on all that and just installed the fitgirl repack under wine. downloaded the sims 4 fitgirl repack, and then followed this very light tutorial
thanks i will give this a try tonight.
Well I got as far as:
The prefix is now ready fot the Fitgirl installer. Start the installer with (again, change the paths): $ WITNEPREFIX="/media/weidenwiesel/m2/wine/S4/" wine "/home/weidenwiesel/Downloads/The Sims 4 - Deluxe Edition [FitGirl Repack]/setup.exe"
To which i got this error:
wine: failed to open "/home/weidenwiesel/Downloads/The Sims 4 - Deluxe Edition [FitGirl Repack]/setup.exe": c0000135
And i just realized, that is because i do not have that file.
youll have to be pretty cognizant of the pathing within those commands. also, i noticed i had to run it using sudo to get it to work..
i did just discover an issue... my installs wont let me save the game. it just locks up.
Normally I am, but there is a line in the post saying not to change the pathing. But after I realized it is the install pathing and not the command.
