    in The Sims 3 General Discussion
    Hello all!
    I recently got a computer that has Linux Mint 12 on it. I was just wondering how exactly I could play TS3 on this? Considering I have my game through Origin & It won't install! :cry: I'm very frustrated, any help with this is welcome!

    Thanks in advance & Happy Simming! :mrgreen:

      I've never seen any support from EA for playing Sims on any other OS other than Win/Mac. However, I have seen postings about playing Sims using the Wine app.

      I really don't have much to do with Linux or Unix unless I'm dealing with servers at work. Sorry, I can't be much help.

      You will have to check things out and research for yourself. If you decide to go that route I doubt you will find any support around these forum. I would advise you to use at your own risk.
