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

i juuuuust solved for this this week! my kid has been bugging me for awhile.

i spent a weekend trying to get steam to run it... that stupid ea app... lutris..

i gave up on all that and just installed the fitgirl repack under wine. downloaded the sims 4 fitgirl repack, and then followed this very light tutorial
