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.

Anyone have an issue with the shadows/night rendering very strangely in The Sims 3? My wife has been playing it on Windows 10 lately, and while her UI and well-lit sims or objects are all completely normal, anything in the shadows (especially the grass outside at night) looks like her GPU is fucking up. It's a mix of purple with grainy red and green textures throughout. Almost like her shadows are only rendering in a 64 bit colour palette.
