  Awesome, glad to hear it!

  If it fails near the end, just run it again and it will go through usually, not sure why but I’ve had that happen with a couple installs on Lutris, but they usually work the second time

    I went to bed while it installed, woke up and it finally completed. When I launch either via the icon within lutris or the script in the desktop it gives me a language selection dialog, the sims 4 icon appears in the tray, I select the language and that is all it does. I am out hiking with my dog, I will copy the script contents when I get home.

      I ran the install and created an Inpress(PowerPoint for LibreOffice) document with all the screenshots this morning., then realized I can’t upload it here. But hopefully the only error you had was trying to run it from the installer. If so, add the locally installed game in Lutris using the + and choosing the last option (locally installed game).

      Then point it to your .exe file

      Should be something like Games/Sims/drive_c/program files/the Sims 4/game/bin_le/ts4.exe

      DM me an email address or somewhere I can drop the Screenshots if you would like them.

        I had some time before game and got it to load. But I am getting the cannot save error again, which prevents me from actually entering the game.
