  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.

        Damn, I haven’t seen that before, but I wonder if it’s a permissions error? The save files for The Sims are located in a user documents folder within the install location we made. I assume you installed with the same user that’s running the game so I’m not sure why it wouldn’t have permissions to that folder. Could check the permissions on that save folder just in case. Was the installer a new one you downloaded when we started talking? If so that would have ruled out a corrupt installer too. I’ll let you know if I think of anything else
