My wife (who current away from for a few months) enjoys playing SIMS 3. The only condition she has for installing Linux on her machine is if she can continue playing it there.
Now I know that Steam + Proton allows almost all games to run, but I am currently not in a situation where I can try it out on a laptop. I thought before proceeding, I’d ask the community’s experience / opinion.

According to protondb, yes, but you have to tinker a lot and there will be still some visual bugs and issues with saving on Mint. People reported that it works the best about Fedora, Ubuntu, Manjaro. Out of the box or with minimal tweaking
Anyone have an issue with the shadows/night rendering very strangely in The Sims 3? My wife has been playing it on Windows 10 lately, and while her UI and well-lit sims or objects are all completely normal, anything in the shadows (especially the grass outside at night) looks like her GPU is fucking up. It’s a mix of purple with grainy red and green textures throughout. Almost like her shadows are only rendering in a 64 bit colour palette.
My daughter play it every day on Mint 22 (xfce, on a old Core 3 with a GT730 Nvidia card)
It works fine !
If it’s through steam, I wouldn’t expect there to be any issues.
Just make absolute certain you have a backup copy of any save files before deleting your current OS, for the sake of your relationship… I can only imagine how many hours someone might have put into a game that came out in 2009. Definitely not speaking from personal experience haha
I can confirm that it works nicely (well, as nicely as this game can work) on Linuxes. I use the DVD versions but if they run, I have no doubt Steam does.
yes, i’ve played it on linux. runs exactly as you’d expect
Idk, but by this point Sim City 3000 should work on ReactOS! My reading mistake learned me a thing!
