    Not sure which Sims you’re referring to, but it looks like it should work: https://www.protondb.com/search?q=the+Sims+

    It looks like The Sims 4 is the only one that might need some tinkering. Stupid EA installers…

    Though the only entry for the first Sims game that appears in the results is the “Legacy Collection,” so if you’re referring to like the original CD-ROM or something, it might be different.

    Edit: just noticed that Sims 3 doesn’t appear to have any entries on ProtonDB so I don’t know… If any of them don’t work is most likely because of EA bullshit

      Sims 4, and I have tried every version of Proton, I have tried proton ge or whatever it is, I have tried every suggestion in the sims 4 protondb entry.

      I have tried the suggestions in my thread about it. (I think there was one I still need to try, actually)

      I have the fitgirl repack, I have tried via steam, I have tried the .exe from EA.

        Weird. I’m pretty sure I have played via steam and it worked. I’ll maybe try later if I remember.

          I have heard that from other people, but have seen on protondb there are as many that can play it as the cannot. I think I have it working finally is lutris, after almost a month of trying different things.
