I’ve used it for several years, and even to play Sims 2 from time to time, and while I’ve had issues the experience only gets better over time. It’s gotten to the point where I can confidently install any game on my Steam library and expect it to run. And be right most of the time.

But not sims 3

Age of empires DE will not work with proton. And it's not really a top notch graphics game.

I'm not entirely sure what the point of updating Wine is in the first place. If you have a version that works with the game you're trying to play, why not pin it? Things definitely tend to break with Wine upgrades by nature of what Wine does, that's why it's common for people to have multiple versions of Wine installed.

Y'all sure you don't have Sims 2 and Sims 3 mixed up? Sims 3 is rated Platinum on AppDB / Gold on ProtonDB (and I've ran it on Proton on multiple machines and distros without issue), whereas Sims 2 had a Garbage rating on AppDB for the longest time (apparently the Origin version is Silver now, but still).

I am most definitely talking about Sims 2. I play the Origin version through Lutris, from when they gave it away for free.
