Forgive me if I am "necroing" this thread (it didn't seem TOO old). Does anyone have any news on this game? As I said before, for any devs who may read this, I would really love to see this game work in Linux; anything you can do that would make this game more compatible with WINE would be appreciated. Thank you all for your time and consideration. Hibba

Thanks to both SpawnHappyJake and tparker for the recommendation to update the AppDB. Just did :-). Also, I did find a little news ; it looks like some more work was done recently on vertex shaders in wine in version 1.3.28. I remember reading that something about vertex shaders was part of one of the show-stopping problems in Sims 2. Hibba

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 have a copy of the Sims installed on a Win2k FAT32 partition. I know for a fact that The Sims works under Wine (Mandrake's "Gamer" edition), but I get an error when I try to run it. The error is as follows: "Game cannot be started because: There is not enough memory or hard drive space to run. Exit now." I do have plenty of free space and plenty of memory. Does

Hi all, I was looking here: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8051 , and in comment 81 it was recommended to contact the lead Wine developer(s) about the bug in question. I'm not sure who to contact, though. Might someone be able to tell me who would be an appropriate person/people to contact, please? Thanks! Hibba.

Does anyone know of a package that includes the Modified Sims test [Gewerke, 1983, Sims, 1972]? This test is used in econometrics and is a kind of alternative to the Granger test [Granger, 1969], which is in the package lmtest. Thanks in advance, chris Refernces: Gewerke, J., R. Meese, and W. Dent (1983), "Comparing Alternative Tests of Causality in Temporal Systems: Analytic Results and

I have an Intel GMA 950 and I installed Sims 3 on vista. It works but crash after 10 min. I reinstalled Sims 3 on Ubuntu 9.04 with playonlinux script. Install works fine but when I start the game, I have this error : " impossible de d?marrer le jeu. L'appareil 0 ne peut pas ex?cuter ce titre.

Few months ago I asked here about Wine and Sims. Somebody told me it's impossible. Today on slashdot I read, that writer have seen Sims on Wine... So - is it close? -- Now the best steel goes through the fire And you seem to burn The dead man's always a liar "Hide In The Rainbow" Look out! there's another one learning! -

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=16664 As much as I am leaping for joy at the thought that i'll be able to play the Sims 3 without switching to Mac OS X or Windows, I have a question: 1. How would they know if the game works or not if it doesn't come out till July??? Also, I find it a bit of an oddity that The Sims 3 will work under Wine straight away when

I got Sims 3 to install using the retail DVD (using the no-cd patch) and everything works great UNTIL I quit the game or it crashes. When I try to restart the game I just get : fixme:d3d:IWineD3DImpl_FillGLCaps OpenGL implementation supports 32 vertex samplers and 32 total samplers fixme:d3d:IWineD3DImpl_FillGLCaps Expected vertex

I've been trying to install The Sims 3 for the last couple of days, and it hasn't been opening. Now that I've finally figured out what i've been doing wrong there's still a major problem. I've installed using playonlinux, and when i open (I use the launcher made by playonlinux, not the actual sims 3 launcher)The screen might turn white, but it always turns black before the

Hey, I've got a problem with the Sims 3 crashing as soon as I enter a lot. No error message or anything, just some stuff in the terminal I can't figure out.

For those that have the sims 3 have you had any luck with the game at all? I looked at the sims 2 page and going off of that it does not look too promising :(

Hello. I'm currently using donet20 to run the sims 3 launcher. It is very laggy and flashes alot. I don't know if Mono will help or not, as I've tried it, but it doesn't seem to run when I try to open it. Any help? Has anyone gotten this to work close to flawlessly?

Hi, I'm trying to run The Sims Medieval from the retail disk, with no patches or mods, only a No-CD Fix, but the game crashes after the loading screen, without going to the menu Using Ubuntu 11.10 x86 and Wine 1.2.37 Installed mfc42, vcrun2005, vcrun2008 and vcrun2010, using winetricks; Windows version was set to Window 7 before installing My system is an Intel Processor and a Nvidia

G'day, I'm using a cvs version from a few days ago, and I've just installed The Sims and its Livin' Large and House Party extensions with minimal fuss (the icons were missing in the first setup/autorun screens). Trying to run the program, it displays a dialog with the title "A debugger has been detected" and the text "Unload the debugger and try again". So,

I am trying as hard as I can to find a solution to get the Sims 2 to work. I have a new copy on the way and everything I hear says the game wont play in wine. Now I had an idea, the last time I ran the Sims 2 was on a Mac. I know for a fact the the Mac version is just in a Cider wrapper, I know because I've opened it before. Now I'm sure EA didn't dump thousands of dollars to rebuild

The Sims 2 has four installation discs. I read this in the faq: > If program is on multiple CD-ROM disks you don't want to change into cd-rom's directory or you won't be able to remove disk without stoping the installer. First verify that CD-ROM is mapped to a disk drive in winecfg "Drives" tab (ex D: -> /media/cdrom). Then run installer this way: > > >
