Thanks, I run two d&d games today. I will try it 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

I had previously downloaded it. But I also get this error when I am able to get the Steam version running.

Was that steam version downloaded through steam? Aka is it a different installer, or did you install in steam using the non-steam game option. (Just trying to verify it’s a different installer, don’t do the install again if it’s 2 seperate install packs you installed from)
Steam installs in a different location than Lutris as well, so it shouldn’t be the specific folder not having permissions. I assume Steam user Proton by default as well while Lutris likely defaulted to Wine.
Grr… this is going to be something stupid and frustrating for you.
