Hi all, I just thought I'd stop in and voice a few thoughts concerns. I really enjoyed playing The Sims 2 and some of its expansion packs in Windows; it was one of my favorite games. I would truly love to see it working playably in WINE (there was a patch/mod that allowed it to start up, as I'm aware, but it wasn't very playable). I understand that it would be a large amount of work, as well as time and effort to make this game work. I don't have any practical programming ability, nor can I offer anywhere needed the amount of money to make it worthwhile to have someone program it for me. I guess what I'm getting at is, I would really appreciate it if maybe someone with the proper abilities could take a look at the bug reports and maybe try to get the ball rolling a little (and by that, all I mean is looking at the bug reports and deciding what would be a good way to fix it, maybe "blueprint" out the strategy and do a little foundation work, so to speak). Thank you for your time and consideration. It would mean alot to me, and I'm sure other Sims 2 fans would enjoy it as well, to be able to play this game in Wine. Hibba.

Hi Hibba! You could post your debug outputs in Pastebin. That's a start. And give a link to them here. You could check the bug reports, and see if you have one that isn't posted yet, and post it if you have a new one. You could also update and leave comments in the App DB. Cheers, Jake
