Sims + Linux based OS's?

[meowbark]

So, I've been considering switching from Windows Vista to Linux Mint for several reasons, though I still want to play the Sims. I've heard of compatibility issues, googled this and found posts from 2006/7. Now I'm confused, will it run with Linux/Unix based Operating Systems or not? I know that the Wine program will allow you to run Windows/Mac based programs, but it doesn't cover all of them. Anyone know?

I think it should work. I did some quick googling, and Linux users said their Sims worked. But I'm not telling you I'm one-hundred percent positive that it will.

I guess the only way to know is to try it.

Yeah, I heard using it through this Wine program would work. Though I'm not entirely sure.

I was reading a blog the other day, and I saw this post and thought of this topic.

Now, if only there were an open version of The Sims 2, I might go the whole way and switch to Linux…

I'm guessing by looking at this, you can't, but I don't know.
