Oh, Sims 4 fit girl pack Ive gotten to run consistently on Cinnamon. Feel free to ping me sometime if you try it and run into an issue, I may be able to get lucky with a pointer.
It’s got a shit ton of expansions in it.
Edit:
(Believe the last couple of times I did the installs through Lutris. I just picked the .exe and used the standard wine defaults for the install, then once it’s done I believe it worked fine by adding a game and pointing it to the .exe for the play file. Then if you feel like it you can switch to proton to see if you get better performance, but a Mint install with a Pentium Processor with 4gb of ram (HP touchsmart) was able to run it, so most anything should be able to use the standard wine setup just fine.)
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.
Edit: found a work around so you don’t need to give me an email, apparently a site called file.io is run by the makers of lime wire, link to Impress file

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 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.
Edit to add:
Drop down, change Z to X and I usually pick program files (That should hopefully fix the permissions / “not enough space” errors)
Let me know what it says if it doesn’t work
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.
Awesome, glad to hear it!

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.
I downloaded the file, but did not have a chance to open it yet.

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