  I wish I had found you nearly 20 years ago to help me get it running.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for Linux⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This was 2006/2007 I think. Every article I read about it had a different solution and none worked fully.

  I also remember when I asked for help on wow centric forums being crappy replies of “don’t use Linux” and when I would post on Linux centric spaces getting “don’t play wow” replies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for Linux⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Years ago I made the switch to Linux, then I wanted to play WOW again but it would not run on my Linux machines, so I started to dual boot. Then I began to wonder why I was keeping Linux installed.

  Eventually I made the shift to macOS because I worked in theatre and needed it for specific Mac only programs. But I still have a Lenovo legion that I am getting ready to swap over to Linux (not that all of the games I currently play do not run on macOS or my steam deck).

  If I was able to get WOW running on Linux years ago I likely never would have swapped back to windows. And I am currently trying to convince my son to install Linux on his pc running windows 10.

  If only it was installed on my ps5… although I do not know that it is keyboard and mouse compatible there.

  Text from my wife just now:

  The Sims keeps locking up. I appreciate that you went above and beyond, but it’s done. Stick a fork in it.

  I have heard that from other people, but have seen on protondb there are as many that can play it as the cannot. I think I have it working finally is lutris, after almost a month of trying different things.

  I installed to /home/user_name/Games/the-sims-4/drive_c/users/windows_user/Games/The Sims 4/Game/Bin/TS4_x64.exe and it is saving, it is launching. I will let you know how it is doing once my wife has played a bit. Thank you very much for helping me with this.

  The steam version is from steam, downloaded from steam and installed via steam. I have tried running it with multiple versions of Proton and Proton-GE to varying degrees of success. It either runs at a single digit frame rate, crashes on start up, or if it manage to get it running okay, it also cannot save.

  The version I have installed currently is the fitgirl repack. I downloaded before we started troubleshooting, I had downloaded and installed it on a previous install of mint (I had to wipe that and install again due to me encrypting the home folder and that causing issues. Since then I redownloaded the sims4 FG repack. I installed it for the first time on this install of mint yesterday. Having the same issue with saving as I had on the last install of mint. That time however I used a guide from reddit that was very convoluted compared to how I installed it yesterday.

  The current install of TS4 is in /home/user_name/Games/the-sims-4-lutris/drive_c/Program Files/The Sims 4/Game/Bin/TS4_x64.exe I do not see a way to set the save folder. This was installed via Lutris, and I used this install location because the default when installing was Z:\Games\The Sims 4, but doing so fails. Which is why I have it in c:.

  I am wondering if I create the directory first if that will work.

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

  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.

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

  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.

  There was no option for X:, and there was no program files in Z:, however C:\program files appears to be installing, 45 minutes to completion.

  I receive this error while running the setup.exe through lutris.

  I also tried installing the version you can download through lutris which seems to only be a simsync app that never connects to anything.

  Sims 4, and I have tried every version of Proton, I have tried proton ge or whatever it is, I have tried every suggestion in the sims 4 protondb entry.

  I have tried the suggestions in my thread about it. (I think there was one I still need to try, actually)

  I have the fitgirl repack, I have tried via steam, I have tried the .exe from EA.

  I have been trying to get the sims to work on my wife’s Linux laptop. I can either get it to run at 3-4fps, or I can get it to run without the ability to save anything.

  I have Steam deck and with every game I have tried on it so far working, I thought it would be the same with a laptop. Boy was I wrong.

  I ordered some thick felt sliders, I had only ever seen plastic ones in stores. I may get some of those dollies though in case I need to move it farther than I normally move it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help making a table more movable⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I adopted Furiosa, she was one of six in the litter, they all had been abandoned at the local shelter. I spent time with each of them and let the dog pick me. Even when other people were playing with Furiosa she kept coming to me. I worry all the time of I had picked a different puppy that day, would Furiosa’s hypothetical owner take care of her like I do.

  It sounds like your dog is lucky to have you too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help making a table more movable⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If I had to move the table further than I do (it moves from one end of the room to the other and rotates 90°) this would be perfect. I may get these so that I can move it farther in the future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help making a table more movable⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, I have only ever seen the plastic sliders in stores. I found some felt ones online and ordered those.

  That is Furiosa, I adopted her 8 years ago. She is allergic to corn and wheat, so I cook food for her every day. We hike 4+ miles every morning. And luckily I own my own business (for now) so she comes to my game shop with me every day.

  I do not know who has more separation anxiety, her or me.

  I have tried the gliders in the past, they did not even work for a single move.
