wine users - Sep 2011 - Re: I'd like to voice my concerns about The Sims 2

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.

I have not looked at the appdb for it, are there any notes about playing 
in a current wine version (1.3.27 or close)? At one point I think the 
SecuRom kept it from working but I think that was removed from the game 
at some point. If you have a post-SecuRom disk or legal file and you 
have not tried the game in a current wine version it would be worth 
doing so and adding the results to the appdb. If nothing else newer 
information posts help to show interest in the game and it's issues.
