Does SIMS 3 work on Linux Mint? (lemmy.world)

My wife (who current away from for a few months) enjoys playing SIMS 3. The only condition she has for installing Linux on her machine is if she can continue playing it there.

Now I know that Steam + Proton allows almost all games to run, but I am currently not in a situation where I can try it out on a laptop. I thought before proceeding, I'd ask the community's experience / opinion.

If it's through steam, I wouldn't expect there to be any issues.

Just make absolute certain you have a backup copy of any save files before deleting your current OS, for the sake of your relationship... I can only imagine how many hours someone might have put into a game that came out in 2009. Definitely not speaking from personal experience haha
