However, upon launching, Origin will return this error: I managed to 'bypass' installation by killing the installer processes prematurely a few times before it had time to return an error code, which brings a 'Play' button instead of a 'Install' button. This might be useful to see what DLLs/files are missing and if it's possible to 'manually' install them, but I'm no expert in this field.Īs far as Origin is concerned: Downloading is a breeze if you patch a file first (see WineHQ ) reg file (255762) containing the registry keys that the vcredist_x86.exe installer would have imported anyway (from a Windows 7 32-bit virtual machine).
:(Īs there will be a Mac version of the game, I will suspect the game will need to be compatible with Wine somehow (The Sims 3 Mac version itself is a Wine wrapper apparently)įor experimentation, I have attached a. but knowing EA, that won't happen in a long time. Even better if it was natively ported to Linux. I too would like to see The Sims 4 working in Wine.
