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.

According to protondb, yes, but you have to tinker a lot and there will be still some visual bugs and issues with saving on Mint. People reported that it works the best about Fedora, Ubuntu, Manjaro. Out of the box or with minimal tweaking
