wine users - May 2009 - Has anyone had any luck with the sims 3?

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
:(

The sims 3 perfectly installs. It's also runs quiet good. All works fine.
But there are some kind of memory leaks that cause crashes, but they happen not
too often and you easily can save before it crash. I'll give this game
"Gold" mark, and, as for me, it's rather close to
"Platinum" :). I've played on High and Average graphic options. My
computer configuration: AMD Athlon X2 5600, GeForce 8600 GTS (driver version
185.19), 4GB RAM, OS: Debian Squeeze x86_64, Wine 1.1.20

It installed for me ok too but I still cannot get it to work I tried installing
it through wine and the PlayOnLinux front end and I get the same result. The
screen goes white and the game simply crashes. This is the error output I get
