I bought The Sims 3 today and it installed and ran perfectly. However I had to uninstall it for unrelated reasons and when I reinstalled it it wouldn't launch, wit hor without the nocd patch. I don't recall changing aything in the way of drivers or wine versions in that time so I'm at a complete loss as to what is going on. Any ideas?

I can't it won't let me cd into th einstall directory, /usr/local/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Bin
I also had a problem with sims 3 working, after hearing of others having it working. I tried to install with the latest 1.1.23 WINE and the install bar got stuck 90% of the way, so it could not be installed. I re-installed WINE 1.1.22, and the install worked, although I did have an error message at the end of installation, and it not only installed but is perfectly playable !!. Although I did have some crashes mid game.
