When you install a game such as The Sims, you get the equivalent of a new instance of Windows for that game. PlayOnLinux uses prefixes to isolate game installations. When selected, you’ll get a bit of additional information about the game and its compatibility.įor the record, I believe they are incorrect about Shop Mode not working, as I had no trouble building and furnishing a house. You’ll be given a list of known applications, and you’ll find The Sims 3 near the bottom on the Games section. When ready, click the Install button at the top of the PlayOnLinux window. They have up-to-date packages for nearly every major distribution available here. In testing for this article, I found the pre-packaged versions to be much less functional and reliable than those provided by the PlayOnLinux website. I recommend that you do not use the PlayOnLinux package provided by your distribution. This is not because it’s any more “capable’ of running the program, but because PlayOnLinux provides an install script specifically for this game which makes the process FAR simpler than it would be on Cedega or Wine alone. Of the multiple approaches to running Windows software on Linux, PlayOnLinux is without a doubt the best choice for Sims 3.
