At this point, making something that doesn't work using Wine or Proton is actually kind of an achievement, so congrats EA, you managed to fuck up both Origin and EA app. The actual game runs flawlessly, it's the launchers that are all kinds of broken.

EA is garbage software, don't buy these games, always prefer used console versions or pirate.

always prefer used console versions or pirate.

Or pirated console versions in an emulator ;)

Wife likes modding Sims and already bought some expansions before we moved her to Linux. They actually still add some free content sometimes, so we keep the wifey happy, and hope to almighty Gaben that EA doesn't fuck things up too bad. Good news is that she knows that when things go wrong, it's 100% on EA

I have free access to ea play or whatever it’s called with my gamepass, luckily they have them in their own little “Ignore Me!!!” section.
