The Sims 2 Tips

Sims 2 install

For some people, using the "Install Windows Software" program doesn't work for installing the Sims 2, because the location of the setup.exe needs to be the current directory.  I used the DVD of the Sims 2.

Follow the setups below to get the Sims 2 installed:
  1. Open a console window (Terminal)
  2. Change directories to location of the setup.exe program

    cd /media/Sims2

  3. Run the Crossover Games version of wine specifying the bottle you want it installed into, for example I created a bottle called "Unsupported" for the Sims 2 and finally specify the setup.exe program to run

    /home/mark/cxgames/bin/wine --bottle Unsupported setup.exe

This should start the installer and allow you to install the Sims 2.
