I have tried multiple different versions of proton, ge proton, I have tried the EA launcher, and a few black magic incantations. It either runs at 4fps or will not load at all. I have tried everything i can find on protondb that is not an ancient report.

I am running Linux Mint Cinnamon on a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon with an Intel i5. https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/pd100509-overview-for-thinkpad-x1-carbon-type-20bs-20bt

Well I got as far as:

The prefix is now ready fot the Fitgirl installer. Start the installer with (again, change the paths): $ WITNEPREFIX="/media/weidenwiesel/m2/wine/S4/" wine "/home/weidenwiesel/Downloads/The Sims 4 - Deluxe Edition [FitGirl Repack]/setup.exe"

To which i got this error:

wine: failed to open "/home/weidenwiesel/Downloads/The Sims 4 - Deluxe Edition [FitGirl Repack]/setup.exe": c0000135

And i just realized, that is because i do not have that file.

youll have to be pretty cognizant of the pathing within those commands. also, i noticed i had to run it using sudo to get it to work..

i did just discover an issue... my installs wont let me save the game. it just locks up.

Normally I am, but there is a line in the post saying not to change the pathing. But after I realized it is the install pathing and not the command.
