My daughter wanted an iPhone when she was in high school because her friends played the arcade games together on it. That was the only reason she wanted it.

Was it not the end consumer who paid those tariffs?

It is whomever imported the item that pays. If you order directly from a tariffed country you pay. If American_Business_01 imports stuff they pay, they then either eat the tariff, raise their price to retailers and distribution (this is what is happening in the non-video game industry). Some businesses are raising MSRP and spreading the tariff between themselves, distribution, retailers, and consumers. Some companies are trying to dump it all on retailers by not raising msrp.

Refried beans are traditionally made with lard. Many canned beans have fatback (pork) in them. Even vegetarian looking canned beans are not always vegetarian, I always look for the ones that specifically say vegetarian.

Is this on Macs too?!?

Not mine, then again I use nothing Microsoft on my Mac.

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

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.

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.

I tried using kbin a while back but found no apps that supported it.

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.

Edit: read your post more carefully and see you gave me your path for install. I used that same path (roughly) still it is using c:\users\user_name\

Installation takes like 2+ hours, so it is working currently.

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.

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.

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 did that too, then i discovered i could log two computers into EverQuest and dual box.

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.
