The Sims 3
Tinker Steps:Launcher: Origin, Switch to older version: 5.0-10, Changed configuration, Lutris, winetricks
Instability:Occasionally
Crashes seem to be RAm related. It won't crash if you save the game every 30 minutes or so.
After days of troubleshooting, I finally got it to run using Wine and Lutris and Lutris' version of Origin (not using the steam launcher except to harvest the product code). How I managed this: (1)Download WINE (I used 64 bit), (2)Download Lutris, (3)Download both Lutris' Origin and Sims 3 files on the Lutris website. Then, rename Sims3Launcher.exe to "Sims3Launcher.exe.old" and rename TS3.exe to "Sims3Launcher." Open the game on Lutris, and it should launch Origin. Enter the product code, then download Sims 3 on Origin. Then, you should have a great time!
