Hi! nice post!, first time using play on linux, I followed the steps 7 times now and It doesn't appear to work for me. Can you help me? look: It installs origin right, and get to download the game fine. when I launch it it launches origin, and then on the bar at the bottom of the screen, the sims logo appears 3 seconds and it dissappears. so I click the origin square to pop up the origin window and there is the game icon, and I click play. Then the sims logo appears again at the bottom of the screen and then dissappears. After several minutes of waiting and no game showing up, I close origin and a warning appears "are you sure you want to close origin with the sims still open?" (it does it in my language so it's not an accurate translation here) I don't know my video memory, (I have tried every option in the combo box but no one works) I have a laptop Vaio Pro 13 with ubuntu 16.04 and the ubuntu details say my graphics are Intel® Haswell Mobile. PlayOnLinux 4.2.10 And the video drivers appear to be installed correctly because I can use Blender perfectly. Thank you in advance for your help!
Welcome to the forum! Sounds like you have everything setup correctly... Can you play any other games in PlayOnLinux? There is a chance you don't have the 32-bit libraries installed for Ubuntu. They used to be available as a single package, but Ubuntu does not support them any more. Since Sims 3 is a 32-bit application, you will need those installed. Here is how they can be installed: Launch Terminal Copy/paste Code: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 Press Enter copy/paste Code: sudo apt-get update Press Enter Last... copy/past Code: sudo apt-get install libasound2:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 libfontconfig1:i386 lib32nss-mdns libgnutls26:i386 libxslt1.1:i386 libxcursor1:i386 libxcomposite1:i386 libosmesa6:i386 libopenal1:i386 libmpg123-0:i386 libldap-2.4-2:i386 liblcms2-2:i386 libgstreamer0.10-0:i386 libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0:i386 libgsm1:i386 libxinerama1:i386 libxi6:i386 libv4l-0:i386 libsane:i386 libudev1:i386 libxml2:i386 libcups2:i386 libxrandr2:i386 libice6:i386 libsm6:i386 Press Enter Then restart to be sure Now Try Sims 3 again...
